hello. I was wondering how to cook trout that are about a pound, without having to worry about the bones? last time I tried, it was very difficult to eat with all the bones. thanks for any help :)

yo Chum man!! gut the fish, remove the head. rinse in cold water and stuff cavity with sliced garlic, parsley, green oinions, salt/pepper, add a few lime & lemon slices and a couple thin curls of butter. place in hot cast iron fry pan or roasting dish, place under the broiler on med heat. turn in about 15 minutes or when the skin starts to peel away from the meat. when meat is cooked (looks like cooked chicken breast) pull it out, slide the skin off and take a fork, and "pull the fish meat along the rib bones. should slide right off in chunks. open beer and enjoy meal!! 8)

If you like fried stuff, then you should try this:
To a clean and beheaded fish add:
- Salt to your taste
- Some garlic powder (one teaspoon is OK), you can use fresh garlic too if you prefer.
- A touch of black pepper (optional)
- Squeeze half a lime
Marinate it until next day in the fridge (optional)
- Cover with all-purpose flour (optional too)
- Shake it to get rid of excess flour and fry it at medium-high heat in about 1cm deep of oil (can use less if you like). It takes about 3-5 minutes on each side, depending how crispy you like it.
This is what I always do with small trouts and men they are great!!!!
Hope you like it ;D

can you skin a small trout? ???
-
yo matt......no, its very difficult.....but what you do is panfry the trout and when it is done the skin peels clean away from the meat, use a fork to pull the meat chunks away from the bones.....!

Otto, another method I use is similar to yours, except I drizzle some lemon juice over the outside, wrap the whole thing in tin foil, cook on my BBQ on medium to medium-high heat for about 8 minutes, turn the foil pack over, cook another 8 minutes, then dig in!
The skin peels away really easy, and the easiest way I find to take it off the spine is to start at the back tail, and pull the spine out after I've picked off one side from the bones.
-
i would do the same, or sear a steak, but the "strata" council in my building prohibits BBQ's due to the building having wooden balconies....... >:( :'( :(
however i have done the tinfoil method on hot embers while camping. very nice!!! delicate flavour, goes well with beer and a after dinner pipe of dark smoky Latakia pipe tobacco!!!

I like them filleted (skin on). Place lemon or lime slices over the flesh side and BBQ with the lid on. I prefer the lime as it goes better with Corona.
p.s. Bring a pair of tweezers to remove the latteral line bones for boneless trout. It takes a little time, but better than the gag reflex.
