Although I don’t keep any trout that I catch, and truth is I don’t catch that many, I still like to have trout on a plate every so often.  Here then are some of my favorite recipes. I’ll include more in the future…after I’ve tried them of course.

 Pan-Fried Trout

After a long day of outdoor activities, nothing satisfies appetites as much as a meal cooked over a hot campfire. Here are our tried-and-true favorites–pan-fried trout and three campfire breads–sure to please even the choosiest of campers.

Here is a quick fish-coating mix to pack and take along on a fishing trip. Young anglers who like extra crunch could use cornmeal instead of flour.

Ingredients

1/2 cup all-purpose flour or cornmeal
2 tsp. dried parsley
1 tsp. dried minced onions
1 tsp. garlic powder
1 tsp. dried basil
1/2 tsp. salt
1/4 tsp. dried lemon peel
1/4 tsp. pepper
A pinch of cayenne
2 9-oz. trout, cleaned and filleted
1 tbsp. butter or oil

At home, mix the dry ingredients in a large sealable plastic bag. At the camp, shake the cleaned fish in the bag of dry mix. Heat the butter or oil in a heavy frying pan set on a grill about 1 inch above hot coals. Cook the coated fish for six minutes, flip it over and continue cooking until it flakes. Serves four.
