Last week I shared my smoked mackerel recipes for the start of our October challenge to eat more oily fish. The mackerel was a complete success and I have been converted. This week we have tried trout, which I felt a little daunted by as I would actually have to cook it, unlike the smoked mackerel.
I bought some ready prepared trout (minus the head and guts), and I simply stuffed them and baked them. It was so quick and easy, and tasted absolutely lovely and made me wonder why I have never eaten it before! The husband and two out of three children loved it too - surprise, surprise teenager Sam (who refused to eat the mackerel because of the smell) also refused to try the trout.
