About Trout

I was stunned on the weekend to see that my local Coles in Lane Cove actually stocks trout fillets.  This to my mind is some sort of proper turn of events.  While it is admittedly an increased proliferation of meat-in-bulging-gassed-packets the fillets were two decent quality slices with a good colour to them that indicated they were going to be tasty.  The skin was on them.

My wife was enthralled and put them in the shopping trolley without so much as looking at me.  I flicked through Larousse Gastronomie more for ideas than anything else, and the recipes regarding trout were not the stuff of Monday night dinner.  Anything that requires trout and two crayfish per serving (with specific instructions regarding the insides of the un-gutted crays) is beyond my ability to be bothered.  Here’s what I did with them, give it a whirl if you want, it worked incredibly well.
