Took and Egg to my grandpa's farm this weekend for a little bbq. A cousin was asking how you can make stock trout taste good. Evidently those little buggers are not the best tasting fish in the water. Any advice I can pass on?[p]H

    AZRP,
    That could be a large part of the problem is seasoning.

    dhuffjr, there are many things that you can do to make it taste better but a stocked pond trout will never taste as good as a fresh mountain stream trout. The exercise they get swimming against currents just make the meat taste different. There are a few stock ponds I have seen where they keep a flow of water (the "pond" itself is a concrete trough about 12 feet wide and 40 feet long with a pump to suck water out at one end and push it in the other. I wonder how those might compare to fresh caught mountain trout since the only pond-raised trout I have ever had came from those large almost stagnant ponds.

    <p />dhuffjr,
    i dont have a recipe, but a friend of mines exwife used to pickle them, she had some kinda cambodian style recipe passed on from her grandmother with alot of flavor. very different eating what looks like raw fish, but its the only way ive eaten them that were any good. i hear they are better than they used to be, feeding them a different diet the last month in the hatchery, but i wouldnt trust it. also if you were to bake them i think you could make a stuffing pie with them that would be fine. the stuffing and cheese and tomato dill sauce would mask that stocked fish flavor.[p]100_0956.jpg

    dhuffjr,
    The best trout I ever had was in Oklahoma City in a sushi bar. The chef smoked it right in front of me and made it into some great sushi. The smoky flavor mixed with the wasabi was fantastic! I plan to smoke some myself if I could ever find a good source for fresh trout.
