BBQ  WHOLE TROUT

Up to 1000g in weight

You do not need to scale trout. Although trout do have scales they are very small and soft and can be eaten.

Place cleaned trout on foil, sprinkle some rock salt over outside of fish, sprinkle lemon pepper, over outside and in the cavity. Slice up some lemon and place inside the cavity.

Fold ends of foil in first then roll up sides of foil, this ensures juices from the fish do not escape when cooking.

Ensure bbq is hot and place on hotplate. For a 500g fish turn after 5 minutes and cook for a further 5 minutes. For a 1000g fish turn after 10 minutes and cook for a further 10 minutes. Do not overcook trout, the flesh can dry out if left on the bbq too long.

After fish is cooked roll back foil and pullback skin from fish using a fork. Use a fork to slowly pry flesh from bones, try leaving the bones in place. When one side has been eaten grab tail and slowly pull skeleton out. Then you should be able to eat the second side with no bones in it. The skin can be eaten as well.

Oven Whole Trout

Prepare as above. Set oven at 200 degrees and bake in foil for approximately 12 minutes (500g) or 16 minutes (1000g). Again do not over cook fish or the flesh will dry out
