Well, remember when I said in Winter Fishing that we did have any luck? Well, we still haven’t. BUT we recently had some visitors on the ranch that did a little fishing.
They brought me back 3 cleaned and gutted brown trout.
To quote one of the guys that grew up in San Francisco, California and now lives in a metropolis in Virginia, “You aren’t grossed out and a little freaked out that I just handed you some fish with their eyes looking at you?”
To quote me, the girl raised on a northeast Georgia farm and who now lives in the wilds of Wyoming, “Look around you, where are you at? No, I’m not grossed out, I just have to figure out how I’m gonna fix ’em. Thanks for cleaning them though”.
Luckily and I daresay divinely, we were having a hobo dinner cookout that evening and I decided that I would cook them like I was fixing everything else.
Here’s what I did:
Trout Hobo Dinners
3 fresh cleaned and gutted brown trout
One whole yellow onion
Lemon juice
Lime juice
Real salted butter cut in tablespoons
Sea salt
Black pepper
Grilling mix: garlic powder, sweet chili pepper powder, ground oregano, rosemary, basil, sage, thyme, cayenne pepper, bay, marjoram, coriander, cumin, ground mustard, paprika)
Cooking spray
Heavy aluminum foil
Directions: measure out aluminum foil to double length of fish. Run fresh fish under cold water and make sure you have the main blood vessel thoroughly cleaned out. Spray aluminum foil and place each fish on its own piece. Sprinkle spice mix, pepper and salt liberally over and inside of fish. Place sliced onions under, inside and on top of fish. Sprinkle fish liberally with lemon juice and lime juice. Place cut up butter pieces inside and on top of fish. Wrap. Place wrapped fish into cooler coals of a fire. Cook in coals for 15 to 20 minutes making sure coals are warm.
Delicious!
Sound wonderful!!!
