Grilling fresh caught fish

[SacramentoWeber]

I’m going on a fishing trip for weekend. The reservoir we are going to is supposed to have a bunch of rainbow trout. I’m planning on cleaning the fish at the campsite and grilling them up. Any grilling recipe recommendations?

Yep. Lightly coat with brown sugar. Put a strip of bacon inside. Or, slather mayo with green onion on and in. You could just cast iron them in butter ...

Gut the fish.

Then find a weenie stick to put the fish on. Shove the stick in its mouth, all the way down to the tail.

Use soft green twigs to tie around the fish on the stick, so it dont fall off quite so easily.

Cook over a camp fire.

No seasoning required...mother natures already taken care of that for you.

It depends on if it's hatchery trout or wild...most wild is pinkish and tastes great by itself...hatchery, stocked, in my experience white meat and bland....

Fish is my favorite grilling food.
If cooking filets, I like a combination of olive oil, white balsamic vinegar, and dried herbs of your preference (I like a Mediterranean blend). The vinegar, being acid, breaks the bond of the protein molecules, allowing them to separate slightly. This allows the oil to penetrate resulting in a moister fish. You can just as easily use lemon or lime for an acid. If lime, try putting a tablespoon of tequila in the mix.
Before you put the fish on, be sure to rub the hot grill several times (I do five) with an oil soaked paper towel.
When turning the fish, use a thin spatula, or better yet a couple of fish spatulas. The fish is ready to turn when you lift the edge gently with the spatula and find it releases easily. If cooking a skin on filet, first cook the skin side up for a couple minutes and then turn skin side down for the remainder.
You can determine how done a thick filet is by looking at the edge.
Have fun.
