This is a wonderful fish recipe. The trout came out crispy and delicious. I used fresh rainbow trout filets with their skin. Thanks for posting the recipe Mae. -
This is one of the best recipes I ever made for fried trout. WOW!! the bacon grease is a MUST from now on. What a great flavor this gives off!! :) I use white cornmeal and I added more black pepper. My DH loved it and told me from now on we need to use this recipe when frying trout. Thanks so much!!
