Hey, what do people think about throwing a little rosemary on trout?

Also, which trout do people think tastes the best?

I find wild trout always taste best - though it then comes down to the "guilty pleasure" category. I'd love to try different trout side by side one day, but I think I have enjoyed brookies quite a bit.

Also, a friend recently told me about "crayfish-fed trout", where the trout are fed nothing but crayfish and have a very rich red meat. I'd love to find them.

About rosemary, ABSOLUTELY. I love using it for a change from my sea-salt only recipe.

I have read in several places that brookies taste best, but I had never eaten one before today. In New York where I live, brookies are the natives and are under pressure from the introduced browns as well as habitat degradation. I've never killed one. Visiting family in Colorado, I fished in Rocky Mountain National Park and was able to do a side by side comparison of a brown and a brookie. The brookie really did taste better. In RMNP the brookies are the introduced species and the greenback cutthroat are the natives. The cuts are strictly catch and release, but the limit on brookies is 18 if you don't keep any browns or rainbows, and if 10 of the brookies are under 7 or 8" (I forget which). They obviously would like to thin the brookie population.

Brook trout have the the best flavor in my view, though any trout can have its flavor enhanced. If you are a fan of a blander "white fish" type flavor, the Lake trout is your fish.

Rosemary lined foil baked trout are a fine treat.

Something I tried and liked recently if you like lemon on on your fish is TruLemon. I think these small packets are marketed as a drink flavoring, but it is highly concentrated lemon. It can be sprinkled right on the baking trout before foil wrapping. Don't be shy. There also is a Lime flavor but I haven't tried that. In the past I've used Crystal light lemon flavoring because I had it (camp cookery is nothing if not innovating with what you have) but I like the TruLemon better.

I don’t take that many trout.
But sometimes we have to
My favourite way to cook is to simply fry in extra virgin olive oil with fresh garlic.

The Rosemary may be too powerful for our little lovelies and perhaps may mask the aroma and flavor - just my opinion... :?:
