this was delish! but hubby only ate half because he said he couldnt take the trout looking at him. lol! silly!

I don't know if my trout were just too big, but I wound up with a smoky kitchen and some awfully blackened coating (which didn't do much for the taste). I'm inclined to roast whole trout from now on, and save this kind of method for fillets.

My friend Karen asked me to review this recipe for her. According to Karen and her hubby, this dish was fantastic. The coating was light and crispy and she followed the recipe as written. She'll be doing this one again!

This may have been my fault because I used sole instead of trout, but I found this rather bland.

A cracking recipe, I love the crispy skin. I used normal flour instead of cornmeal and it worked really well. Thanks

The batter coated the fish nicely and tasted very nice. It looked pretty good too.

This didn't turn out the way I had expected. I'm not much a fish eater, but am trying to incorperate it into my meals frequently,since fish is so healthy. I'm always looking for a recipe that will distract me form the original taste of the fish. I was given some fresh trout from some friends, and decided to use this recipe thinking that the corn meal and cayenne pepper would give it that needed zing I was looking for. It didn't, the trout simply tasted like trout...I couldn't taste the spices at all, to my disappointment. I did give it 3 stars however, because the fish was perfectly moist and flaky.

Quite good despite the fact I burned one side, hehe! Next time I will go lower on the heat.

Very good. The oil started smoking, so I turned down the heat to med. high. I didn't need tarter sauce. Very yummy, and easy.

Perfect! My husband brought two trout home this weekend and I was at a loss on how to prepare it. Then I remembered allrecipes.com and knew my answer would be there. I did a search for trout and the first recipe that came up was this one. I printed it out, took it to the kitchen, prepared the trout and my husband loved it! I did too! Thanks, Lola, for the quick, simple, delicious recipe.

I cooked a large trout filet. Turned out very moist. Will have this again. Thanks Lola!

This is the kind of recipe that is great for folks who know nothing about cooking trout, or cooking in general, for that matter (me ;) I love these very basic recipes. The trout turned out moist and very delicious with mashed potatoes and green beans as side dishes. Good old fashioned fool-proof cooking. Gotta love it.

This is the only recipe I use when I buy Trout. I also cut the heads and tail off before cooking, the black smoke is also a tiny problem so be prepared. I tend to cook it at a lower temp for a little bit longer so as not to have the smoke. This tastes really great.

This was a very tasty way to prepare rainbow trout. I had never made it before, but my grandmother used to prepare it like this whenever my grandpa brought trout home from fishing trips. I did cut off the heads and tails before frying. Also, frying the fish on high heat generated a lot of smoke and caused my smoke alarm to go off. The fish got so black on the outside, and my home got so smoky, that I ended up completing the cooking in the oven. However, the result was a very tasty fish - my husband loved it, as well.

This is the easiest way to pan fry fish that I can think of. Not only does it work for trout but for many other fish as well. The ingredients are those usually found in the pantry.

So good , we had to do some bottom feeding. Good stuff.

Simple and good!
