Title: Re: Lake Trout Cooking Post by solotripper on Mar 2nd, 2006 at 9:52pm
this past spring i tried the "special red spice" and it was great!!
i carry some aluminum foil "baking" bags in the biggest size they make. before i leave home, i cut them length wise in half. when i get a nice laker, i cut the head off and clean the cavity.i slice some onions and mix up some "SRS" and pour over onions in cavity. i lay fish in bag and if it's to long ;D, i use the other half of bag to overlap the first one and fold and seal the one edge and both ends. then after i have a good base of hot coals i lay thye trout on a small backpacker grate over fire( no firepit grill in the Q). after about 30 min, i take a sharp knife and pierce the foil and the thickest spot. if it slides in easy half way or more, i flip over using my trusty leather gloves and grill another 30 min or until knife passes thru easily. lakers are naturally fatty, so the first hole i pierced allows the extra fat to drip into fire, so watch for flare-ups? when i open the foil i just grab the backbone and lift gently and you take out all the bones and what's left is just fish fit for a MAYAN king and there's almost no wasted meat. i like this method because even a small trout go's a long way! as it cooks the SRS runs out and coats the skin and gives it a reddish color, sorta like dry rub ribs get when grilled!! not "hot" but very flavorful and spicy ;D ;D. i burn the foil in fire to clean fish remains off it and next morning, i add the foil to my garbage bag. |
