How To Prepare and Serve a Trout

[@You-in6lm]

I’m an engineer by trade but to see a skilled person good at their job is a pleasure to watch bravo

what an incredible gift from that customer, and what a great gift back in the form of that dish! also what a life for that trout. homie went out in style.

[@theofarmmanager267]

No criticism at all; just information. The Test is one of the fairly few chalk streams in the UK - that means that the water for it comes out of natural springs in the chalk hills where the stream originates from. That leads to highly “filtered” water which in turn means a clear, clean stream allowing a lot of natural weed growth. I’ve fished the Test a few times and it’s a very interesting river. The majority of the fish (certainly in the beats that I fished) were not natural to the river but rather “grown” in trout farms and introduced to the river. It’s a very beautiful river and countryside but surprisingly easy to fish, by which I mean that the banks are generally well manicured with regular low bush behind which to crawl and hide. The river and its let’s are fairly wide - all of this makes casting and moving quite easy. By contrast, I fish weekly in season on the River Teise in Kent. It’s water comes from the Bewl Bridge reservoir and it flows through a lot of farmland. Therefore, it is very susceptible to mud flowing off the fields after rain. Generally, you can’t fish until you’ve had 3 or more days dry weather. It’s a complete opposite to the Test - the banks are generally in-manicured with lots of overhanging bushes and trees. In many places, it no more than 2m wide. You have to be really flexible on casting and getting access to the more hidden parts. The river has both brown and rainbow trout. Unless impossible, you return the brown trout but keep the rainbow. I eat my catch the same day or day after latest. My favourite way is to keep it simple. I gut but don’t fillet the fish. I fill the cavity with herbs (the local wild garlic is superb for this) and then slice up 1 or 2 lemons. Season well and then wrap it in foil allowing some air to stay inside the tightly crunched envelope. Generally, 30 or 35 minutes at 180 degrees. Take it out; allow to rest still sealed in the envelope for a good 10 minutes. Then open up and gently peel away the skin and you can lift out whole chunks of the trout meat. A worthy tribute to a great fish

that was enjoyable to read thanks for sharing

Is the trout from Amerika?

@@MbisonBalrog the brown trout are native to the UK and the river. Rainbow trout are indigenous to Asia and the Americas but have been introduced to almost every country in the world

Damn my boy thats a hell af a beautyful fillet! I love how you show what you do regardless of what you do. Very inspiring for me. Im a home cook but im so curious for what you do at Fallow. I love to see head chef plate. All just so calm and proffesional. Keep it up guys

Seen a lot of filet videos,however none have ever mentioned the bloodline. Makes all the difference in the end product

[@wolta87]

I've recently been watching some of your videos and I like that you show what it is like to cook on that level in that sort of environment, and that it has this live and real feel to it as compared to a safer studio environment. It is way more authentic. The only thing I wish you would take more care of is how you handle some of the tools and ingredients. The guy filleting the fish using the same cloth to wipe the cavity, his hands, the knive all in one go after getting rid of the gut and the guy plating, touching the spoon on the front end 3 times, then scratching his head to touch the spoon again. I know this is how it is sometimes, been working in kitchens myself. Sometimes you need a bit of a reminder. Keep up the good work otherwise.

[@megacheese]

Hearing someone describe trout as a muddy flavor blows my mind as an Australian.

[@jenjen6769]

Wow looks yummy

[@gatedemon1]

when im doing prep in the restaurant fish is almost always the furst thing i do cause fish is the freshest thing u get in the morning and i also want to be done with it:D

[@moraeskeenan1234]

Nice work it looks delicious

[@j121212100]

Why did he wipe the skin with the bag he just used to pull the guts out?

[@lansvale28]

Yes I wondered also. Maybe the slime makes it unstable, but he wasn’t going to use the skin at that time so it wasn’t going to contaminate? Not sure, but I thought the same.

[@kevinmonico8701]

tbh, ive seen many experienced fisherman removing insides and heads far more quick and efficient. Rince that with water (insides)

[@kevinmonico8701]

In Shotesham Park the river splits into two channels which rejoin just above Shotesham ford. The pool here is a popular location in summer time for paddling, swimming and fishing. ?

[@D-Z321]

0:45 love this channel, but trout are not exclusively bottom feeders, whoever told you that is spreading limited knowledge… In shallow water, like rivers and streams, trout eat from the surface and middle of the water column. This is why fly fishing is popular with trout… In deep water, like oceans and large lakes, trout eat from the bottom. However, trout always feed upwards, even if they are holding low, so it's important to keep some separation from the bottom when fishing for them. Trout are opportunistic feeders…

[@mariuszwojtarowicz8107]

[@zloychechen5150]

Is it a normal thing for the posh restaurants in the UK to cook customer's catch or game? I've heard that during the war, when rationing was on, it was quite common for someone to take down a phaesant and bring it to a restaurant for cooking and serving.

[@lfgbrah]

Id say so

trout taste like mud because they are swimming in water with high algae content. best to fish these rivers in early spring rather than late summer to miss the bloom.

You just use a rag to clean the interior of the fish?... we used to always wash them out... just to be sure.. you don't want the fish poop etc contaminating the fish.

The skill and passion is amazing. That said - not sure why they keep on pushing rapeseed oil - it is clearly inferior to olive oil - not everything needs to be local.

[@faithsrvtrip8768]

Beautiful. I always hear people complain about the bones but if you cook it property it should easily flake and taste wonderful. I spent the summer on a beautiful lake in NW Montana and they had lake salmon but it's really a lake trout. Small and delicate! en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kokanee_salmon I was blessed to be gifted two fresh Kokanee this summer! Absolutely stunning fish! I have a small pair of crafting flat-nose pliers that I use to remove pin bones.

[@jonterhaar2573]

Bro that trout was never cured before you blowtorched it haha

[@logannewman4532]

Trout are known for bottom feeding? That's not right. The entire reason that fly fishing is a preferred method is that they prefer to feed on the surface. The way you make your trout taste best is to cut the gills and get as much of the blood out as possible as soon as it is caught and get it straight onto ice.

Rapeseed oil ! Really ?

Trouts are usually not stocked at all.

​@Jeff James unless it's a private fishery stocking on private land, I doubt it. State owned fish and game hatcheries stock public state owned bodies of water anywhere from weekly to bi monthly.
