Easy and Delicious Trout Recipes

We love a good, crispy crust on fried fish — and trout is no exception. This recipe uses oats instead of breadcrumbs (for extra crunch) and ups the flavor by frying in a combination of olive oil and bacon fat.

Instead of cooking trout fillets yourself, consider buying already-smoked ones. They’re wonderfully flavorful and ready to use in recipes — like this brunch-worthy goat cheese frittata.

Trout grills up quickly (it only needs about 3 minutes per side) which leaves you plenty of time to fix up something to serve alongside. Bobby keeps it simple by grilling some radicchio and dressing everything with a sweet-and-tangy orange vinaigrette.

We’ll take tacos any night of the week — especially when bourbon slaw is involved! Katie cuts the trout into strips and coats each piece with cornmeal before frying, to give the fish the perfect lightly crisp texture.
