Cooking Trout in a Frying Pan

Watch how to cook Rainbow trout right out of the stream and into the fry pan

[@jedimind5076]

After you burn it, you call it blackened trout🤔🤔😂😂😂👍👍

[@theDanK814]

N/W PA guy here...his method is rock solid...watch the other idiots teach you to cook trout who "scale" it first..

[@beenrealubitch24]

Definitely burnt

[@nigelmemery9011]

😂😂

[@Richard-zc1cj]

Not blackened, just very burnt.

[@e.t.preppin7084]

😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂lol 😂😂😂😂😂😂 no shit !!! That’s hilarious!!!

[@williamweisz8649]

Finally, a simple and to the point video. Thank you Don!

[@DreamhouseVideography]

This is the best instruction I've seen on how to pan-fry trout! I watched it, then cooked three trout in my iron skillet. It went exactly as you described, and it was the best and easiest time I've ever fried trout! Tasty... and not a single bone went into my mouth. Made it far more enjoyable to eat. Thanks so much. I now know how to fry trout.

[@taggartirwin8271]

Yum yum yum, just caught my first trout and gonna use this to pan fry them! Thanks!

[@ChrisJohnson-ht3gx]

I cooked Trout many years ago and I'm sure I burnt the skin once or twice but it's the inside I'm after anyway. You have a very easy way of cooking it. That cast iron can get hot and stay hot for awhile. I'll have to look for some some Lemon salt I think you called it or lemon spice maybe....never heard of it. Thank you!

[@wdaley24]

Very easy to understand and good camera work - was helpful in watching you expertly remove the bone.

[@jessicacunningham3066]

Thank you! I caught my first trout today fishing solo and gutted it first time and cooked it perfectly cause of your video!

[@makaveliSU]

Tried this today, best I've had. Thank you

[@jedimind5076]

Awesome video! Thanks

[@Zoe_2112]

Thanks for this. I like the taste of trout but don’t like the bones. This video helps.

[@vilhelmhammershoi3871]

Great video. Thanks for posting!

[@Nene_760]

Gonna try this method! Let you know after im done . Thanks ! Edit: it was perfect! No bones and very simple. Thanks again

[@ceciliaberger5889]

this is so helpful thank you

[@Christinesworldspice]

Love it! Straight to the point!

[@zoeytevault5089]

Caught my first fish yesterday and my friend taught me how to clean it but he hates trout so he didn't have any recommendations for cooking it :) thanks for the vid :D

[@rick-ps5ct]

blackened refers to black pepper....what you have is CHARRED TROUT

[@Renagadebait]

Burnt trout

[@pinoyRN67]

how long do you cook it each side

[@bwolf0003]

Thanks for the video. I’ll use my cast iron, just not as hot.

[@donwolf2602]

Yes I would agree i got it a little brown !!! Iron skillets really heat up ! But its only the skin that will be tasty burnt !

[@bwolf0003]

Great video. I’ll use my cast iron skillet.

[@TheRichardSchillen]

Burnt the trout first, then violated it while deboning - - - what a horrid presentation! I knew it was going to be a disaster when I saw him putting the Real (?) Lemon on the buttered pan!

[@shellyflores9335]

so helpful is one of the reasons i dont eat it often thanks for bone tips

[@brianshripka2917]

good stuff but if I could make one recommendation; butter should be the last thing you add to the pan after you've flipped the fish over; to prevent the butter from burning up and making a black burnt mess. Use unsalted butter too because it burns at a much slower rate than salted butter

[@JasonKavetis]

thanks for the tip

[@JasonKavetis]

then what should be added to pan first? olive oil? I'm learning this for the first time.

[@brianshripka2917]

@@JasonKavetis preheat the pan med-high heat for a bit then add a oil so the oil won’t burn so fast. Wait till it’s ready (wet your hand and flick a bit of water at the pan if you hear the oil sizzle it’s ready). Drop the fish on and don’t move or flip the fish for about 4 minutes. When it’s ready to flip you’ll know bc it will naturally release from the pan and won’t stick to the pan. So if you feel it sticking just wait another minute. Once you flip add a few slices of butter to the pan and maybe some fresh garlic cloves if you have em, and tilt the pan a bit n use a spoon to pour that melted butter over the fish as it cooks. After another 4 minutes on the flipped side you should be good to go 🤌🏼

[@roberthoffman7156]

I picked up a tip or two thank you!

[@whocarescameraj1809]

Thanx bud, this is exactly what i was looking for.. i cleaned my trout, but I forgot how mom cooked them after that, I know she didnt fillet them..this is how she did it!

[@ManchesterUtdFan]

I find that butter overpowers the taste of the trout. The trout does not have a fishy taste at all. Just good ol salt, pepper and high heat oil to crispy the skin and that’s all it takes. I highly recommend leaving out the butter and lemon juice. Maybe make that on the side to baste after it’s cooked. Try it out!

[@Stratton77777]

Looks so good and hank you 🙏

[@donovanlucibello379]

Gorgeous fish! I forgot how good the trout fishing is in Pennsylvania

[@freakyflow]

If im out in the Bush hunting Moose we normally spend about a hour or two at river that opens to a small lake And get a few brook trout And do pan fry However if its a whole weekend of fishing We take about 20 filets and salt And brown sugar them with Liquid smoke for 2 days And hand dry them in a smoker Amazing taste

[@JH-ds2dt]

Sometimes when I cook trout they curl really bad. Do you have a trick to prevent that?

[@boden_gamerboy6139]

as a gen z i was born very old fashioned an live on an old dirt road in Maine. not even 18 yet and we've mostly lived off land. real simple recipes. flour, oil(or butter) any type of bread crumbs, and the fish.

[@wrmhall4735]

Gen z? I doubt it.

[@ForrestGump96]

Looks good

[@HdHd-hp6qz]

Bro that’s burned to crap 🤣🤣🤣

[@damage6836]

Nice

[@truthspeaker6689]

thank you chef

[@cryptoholic7322]

starting off with a dirty pan... not sure about that.

[@JayZoop]

Cool. I was looking for a quick method in a pinch. Could you laddle a lot of melted butter on it like they do a steak?

[@billlam7756]

That skin is gonna be very good 😂

[@K.3PO]

Did you descale before cooking?

[@tallen1628]

I've tried leaving the scales on and taking them off and I can say that the skin was crispier and more delicious when I left the scales on!

[@airadaimagery692]

@@tallen1628you eat the scales?

[@tinacrawford1937]

there are no scales lol skjn and great to eat with the fish/meat

[@airadaimagery692]

@@tinacrawford1937 they actually do have scales, it’s just that they are so small and so thin, they cook off almost instantly.

[@aarshaar]

yummy

[@robertfalgiani6635]

I heard on some fish people like the tail. Did you eat the tail?

[@Wolfmediapro]

Yes some do, I do not but I will always eat shrimp tails … trick is to get them crispy

[@michaelhobbs8280]

Thanks for showing how to take the meat off the bone.

[@e.t.preppin7084]

I won’t be doing this method. Get the fire really hot, then that fire is too hot. 🤷🏼‍♂️

[@topherlowe2497]

Yes you want to burn them so much very tasty! The longer you leave them on the skillet the better the skin tastes! I do 15 minutes per side as hot as the pan will get

[@airadaimagery692]

Are Rainbow trout easy to scale?

[@Eddie_000]

This video should be called "How to Overcook Trout".

[@dmac7403]

Save the lemon pepper on after you fry it if you want the skin crispy and don't want it to burn up ,the seasoning is burning 1 cause the heat is to high and two because if your going to coat them in seasoning use deeper oil.

[@donwolf2602]

Yes I agree… there were many flaws in this example … wish I had gas not electric !!

[@DesGardius-me7gf]

I don’t usually cook fish with butter, because I think it gives a weird taste, but for Rainbow Trout, I’ll make an exception.

[@feluto7172]

Very smart de-boning at the end! Why bother filleting when you can take it off like this?

[@quinnchilds914]

Just disrespectful to my trout😂

[@e.t.preppin7084]

Poor fella still uploaded the video. He’s got no shame and that’s for damn sure!

[@liamsmith1371]

Thank you just make sure you don’t cook for 3 minutes

[@titsmagee4469]

West pa!

Your pan was minging 😂

Lemon pepper steppas

[@e.t.preppin7084]

You’re gonna have to eat that skin it’s gonna be really good. Pause. For you. Nutrients ( Nutria ) maybe. I can’t stop laughing 😂. I can’t wait to see him eat this.

[@user-bl4vt2hb9u]

Blackened forsure

[@kingofmars77]

More or less what I grew up with! Too blacked for me, but otherwise nice!

[@anthonygibbons12]

I recommend using oil to cook the fish, then finish with butter. That butter was as burnt as that skin by time you were done.

[@JasonKavetis]

what type of oil?

[@anthonygibbons12]

@@JasonKavetis anything with a high smoke point

Chinese has many ways cooking trout. 😂

Oh hell no, a chef always has to taste it before he or she serves it to someone other than the cat !!!

[@user-oh3xj5kt5q]

Very primitive way of cooking but hey theres nothing wrong with that.. you could make this with minimal equipment right on the river bank 😋

[@Everythingoutdoors902]

They be burnt lol

[@timjohnson180]

You burned them !

[@hdoggz]

man what was all that stuff in the pan before you started cooking? looked unclean really. kinda gross. and then you ruined and i mean ruined the fish. burned outside and undercooked inside. wow

[@wrmhall4735]

Too much heat and too much lemon pepper. But, nice try.

[@danielthompson2238]

Too hot!!! Turn your heat turned!,,

[@MRWHITE-oi1uh]

this is how to burn and ruin your fish

[@airadaimagery692]

The meat is not burnt, therefore it’s not ruined. Had to make do on a camping trip with bare essentials once, best trout I ever had.

[@NighthawkCarbine]

Skin is burnt/inedible.

[@jcstegent]

Ugh… pretty sure you destroyed those fish brah…

[@ronsmate]

You started well, "theses trout came from a local stream..." then you used lemon juice from a bottle and then I shut you off. I thought, anyone who doesn't know where natural lemon juice comes from has no job telling me how to cook anything.

[@Moostafa78]

A blackened trout lol, those things were cremated lol
