do you ever cook your trout with the head on

[surplusagent]

@SawManLew No, I always remove the head before wrapping in foil and placing them on the grill. Makes the skin easier to remove because it sticks to the foil.

Hay nice vid do you remove the skin too???

[surplusagent]

@vassilis359995 I don't have a video on how to remove the skin , but by wrapping the fish in foil and grilling on a BBQ, the skin will usually stick to the foil when you unwrap it leaving that tasty white meat easy to remove with a fork. Enjoy !

Best way to clean a trout. BUT, please tell me that you didn't just throw the guts into the water... :(

[surplusagent]

@meema1 Yes , I usually leave the insides of the fish so other animals can feed on them. Many fishermen wrap the guts in newspaper and throw them in the trash which I feel is both a waste of paper and deprives other animals and the earth of the benefits the guts can have on other creatures.

@harrad100 . 2 out of 3 fish I catch I will unhook carefully and release them. Sometimes , the fish will swallow the hook all the way down and once that happens hook removal without inducing a slow painful death on the fish is a guarantee. This is just an example of a fish i decided to keep and illustrate my own persona preference on how to clean it efficiently , after which it was promptly grilled and made into a superb lunch. waste not what nature gives you I always say.
