    I would like to share a simple Sautéed Trout fish recipe with you that was caught by my son. I’m not a big seafood fan, but this golden, crispy, and juicy fried fish is one of the only fish I can eat because it’s so good. When frying, I like to use a nonstick pan; I don’t like too much oil, but I don’t want the fish to stick to the pan either.

    I try not to add too much seasoning so it doesn’t overpower the natural flavor of the fish. Its flavor should stand on its own, meaning lots of natural sautéed fish taste with a little bit of additive taste of salt and pepper. It’s simple and quick to make this fish. Add some mashed potatoes and Homemade French Bread to go with it and you have a tasty, quick, and easy dinner. This Trout fish came to our table from Lake Lenore. This is my son’s second catch of his life; it’s a proud moment for him. This fish isn’t easy to catch. The Trout he caught weighed almost six pounds. The fish tried to slip off the hook and swim away, as it happened to him a lot, in the past. This time, he won. Good work, good dinner.

    Ingredients you will need:
    4 – 5 lbs. – Trout fish
    ½ cup – all-purpose flour
    Salt and pepper to taste
    Olive oil for frying
    Sautéed Lahontan Cutthroat TroutInstructions:
    1. Scrape all the scales off thoroughly. Cut the fish along the belly. Remove the insides and the head. Slice the fish into ½ inch pieces, or desired thickness. I like them thinner because the salt and pepper penetrate the meat better and provide a better taste.

    2. Place the fish slices into a bowl and rinse cleanly before frying.

    7. Turn the fish over. Sprinkle with salt and pepper again. Fry for another 3 – 4 minutes.

    8. Remove the fish from the frying pan. Cool the fish for a few minutes before serving. This fish goes really well with my Homemade French Bread, and mashed potatoes and you can add any salad Cucumber/Tomato Salad, Cabbage and Cucumber Salad, Steamed Broccoli from my salad category.

      Valya this totally reminds me of camping and catching fresh trout then cooking it within a couple hours of catching it. There is nothing quite as good! I want to try your recipe! Thanks so much for sharing 🙂

      I'm not a big fish fan do to horrible experience 16 years ago. I gave fish another try last year and so far only like smoked salmon. Will have to give this a try. Looks simple enough other than the catching it part. Thanks for posting:)

        Oh, that's to bad that happened to you. I remember my mom was making strawberry jam, and that smell made me sick to my stomach. I couldn't eat strawberry jam for a long time. I can't stand strawberry ice cream or milk even now. I totally know what you mean.

      So impressive that they caught the fish and you prepared it and cooked it up! It looks delicious! I have a feeling that there is nothing quite as delicious as fresh caught fish!

      Wow, very nice! Looks like the boys had a productive day out on the lake. Man, I sure miss fishing. Those family trips to the lake and nature are the best, whether you catch something or not. Right now, I'd rather be out there relaxing with a good book than sitting in this stuffy office. I've caught one fish in my life, it's more about the enviroment for me... Lol. Vadim's catch looks very impressive! I can imagine how happy and proud he is, nice job! Looks delicious on the plate too. You sure do know how to fry it up real good. Yum! 😛
