Pennsylvania Trout (Caught by Bear Jr)



Bear Jr brought me some Trout the other day——I wish I still had my Smoker for these.
Oh Well, Back to the Ninja Smart Grill.

So Bear Jr brought me 9 Trout.

Counting the one He kept for himself, that’s 2 day Limits of 5, or one Possession Limit of 10.
These are about average size for PA Stocked Trout, mostly 10” to 12”.
I love the way Bear Jr brings them to me——Already filleted.:emoji_sunglasses:
With this batch, he said he already soaked them in a little salt water for me too.
So all I had to do was rinse them off & dry them with Paper Towels.
Then My Breading Machine took over, and did her stuff.
So these got the usual Egg Dipping, and this time some Zatarain’s Fish Breading.
Next time I’m making my own breading, because I wasn’t crazy about this Breading.
Then I sprayed them with some Avocado Oil, set the Ninja @ 390°, and off we go.
About 5 minutes later the first half are done, so I put the second half in.
Another 5 minutes & they’re all done, because they are pretty thin Fillets.

I’ll show you the sides in the pictures below.

Thanks for stopping by,

Bear

Looks good John. My BIL gives us a few lakers ever now and again. Always appreciated it.

Point for sure

Thanks for the post Bear. Nothing beats fresh trout. Years ago we used to fly fish Wills creek in Somerset County. We have a hunting cabin there. PA has a very good stocking program

praise the lord for pre-cleaned filets and air fryers.
 
Looks real good John. Would you believe I've never had Trout before?
LOL. I've had many kinds of Fish and I prefer breaded. Those Mushrooms look great too. Nice work.

Looks great Bear...on a side note was he fly fishing? or did he spin useing bait or lures? I am heading to PA tomorrow and might sink a line in the Lakawaxen or DE river.
 
Very nice Bear, those were some nice looking filets! Jr and you did good!
 
We love fresh fried fish, spectacular meals there Bear and so nice of your son to look out for his parents like he does...

Thank You Cliff!!
He fishes so often, I don't know where he was this time. He's hard to track in Fishing season. Knowing him he was using one of his Fly Rods.
Shad should still be up there in the "Lackawaxen Pool".
That's the name they gave to the deep hole in the Delaware, just upstream from where the Lackawaxen dumps into the Delaware.
I never did good in the Lacky, in fact we always called it "The Lack-of-Action".
If you catch a Female Shad or 2, save the Roe sacks for a real treat!!
My "Howto" is easy to find.
And Thanks for the Like.

Your right about the smoker. Smoked trout is the very best! Looks like you did good. Those fish look really good. I need to start gathering some of my ninja cooks to post. Been doing grilled shrimp quite a bit in it.

Ha yeah I saw the row post. I have been calling my house in Masthope - a house in losthope in Lackofaction PA but we love it here. - Thx
 
Those are some fine looking trout! Even better looking meals Bear. Just looks delicious.

Are those Brook Trout?
