I give this recipe a five because the flavor was absolutely delicious..... at first. The only thing I changed was to add a little rosemary to the inside of the fish. Even though I give this recipe a 5..... Me and my family decided we don't like trout. The fish left a strange after taste in our mouths that we can only conclude came from the fish itself. The three huge fish I cooked were fresh caught that same day so I know it wasn't that the fish were bad. It tasted delicious at first. Everyone in the house said the same thing. "It tastes delicious." The flavor was amazing. Actually I was very proud of myself since this was the first time I ever cooked or even TASTED trout and the same was true for my guests. An hour or two after we ate... we all where saying the same thing again... "what is that funky taste in my mouth?" I didn't even want to try trout, but everything I read on this site said it was the same as any other white fish.... It isn't. It's good at first... but even as I am writing this... I can still taste the aftertaste... and I DON'T LIKE IT. Of course this is coming from someone who never tasted trout before so if you already know what trout tastes like then I'm sure you will love this recipe. As I said earlier... I give this recipe a 5 because the flavor was absolutely wonderful and at first bite I thought I discovered something new that I could add to my recipe box. If you already know what trout tastes like then I am sure this will be true for you. For

I used this recipe to season the Slow Cooker Chicken Taco Soup and it was a little too spicey for us (too much red pepper). I carefully measured out the ingredients too. Next time I'll either reduce the red pepper flakes or leave it out. But overall very tasty.

I followed the recipe exactly except for doubling the ingredients as I have a really big crockpot and love leftovers. I even measured out the spices which I hardly ever do. It was too spicy for us - too much red pepper flakes even though I carefully measured it out. Next time I'll go with less or even leave it out, but overall it was very good and flavorful (if it weren't so spicy). DH thought it too spicy too, but good. I hope the flavor doesn't intensify as it sits in fridge!!!
