Add teabags and set aside.
Place salt pork in pan and fry out slowly until browned.
Meanwhile, drink your tea, be quiet and listen.
Remove cooked pork, dredge trout in flour and place trout in pan of hot fat.
Because the trout are fresh, they are going to curl up the minute they hit the pan but you can try to hold them down w/ a fork anyway.
Sprinkle both sides w/ S&P when turning.
Cook about 3-4 minutes on each side.
Outside should be crispy and inside tender.
Reheat your tea.
Run a knife down the side of the trout following the line nature put there.
Remove the meat on either side of cut.
Hold fish secure and starting at the front, remove the rest of the bones from the fish.
Repeat 5 x's.
Serve trout w/ bread, butter, and hot tea.
Don't talk.
just listen.
(After 30 min or so pack garbage in gallon ziplock, wash out pan using crumbled tin foil and head for home).

Zaar...Wow, what a place! I'm one of the old timers of Zaar. I can't count the number of wonderful dishes I cooked in the past few years since joining. Along the way I have had the pleasure of meeting several Zaar chefs. Talk about your fruits and nuts! lol. I have enjoyed meeting them all. Family: What's to say...I have had the same sweet husband forever (Good thing....I'd hate to have to break a new one in...=) and live close to a couple of grown children. (Maybe you've met Smoke Alarm Jr. ..her brown rolls are sooo good!) Therefore, my family gets together often to enjoy each other's company and cooking. My greatest joy is six "little to tallerthanme" kids running around calling me Grammy. They wear me out! lol For the past thirty years I have been a Special Education teacher for grades 9-12 and love it. Took some time off last year to recovery from surgery, chemotherapy and radiation for breast cancer. (Loved the radiation....I keep imagining that we are absolutely napalming the nasty cancer cells tohellandback to keep the little suckers from returning. =) My prognosis is good and now "I'm back in the saddle again". lol. Being a north country "gurl", I am happiest outside...walking, fishing, sitting in front of an outdoor fire or being on water (although in February it's a bit stiff....=0) When indoors I like to read, garden, knit, quilt and paint. During cold Maine weather I like to warm my feet on a very large ( 100 pounds of long legs and huge feet), sweet and furry golden retriever named Kerry (aka KTBRD: Kerry the big red dawg..lol) . In the summer, the dawg and I round up the grandkids, hit the local dairy bar for a Mounds Sundae that is to die for!!!=0) . Then spend a lot of long and lazy summer days at camp . All in all...Boy, Life is good! =)
