Cleaning out the freezer.
Wild caught trout from Southern Missouri. Given to me by an in-law.

Smoking at 200*. No seasoning, just threw them on.

Goal is to hit 145*.

2nd hour check.
Going to leave in for another hour before checking temp.

Lighting stinks trying to take a pic, but the skin is getting a wonderful color to it.

Just checked temp at hour #3.

Larger fish are at 140*-145*. Going to let them go at least another half hour.
 
That is a good freezer find. I have a theory that the reason some people say they don't like trout is not the flavor, but the pin bones.

Wouldn't be the least bit surprise if that's the case.
I pulled the meat off the bone as cleanly as possible, but you still can't get it all.

Even when I go to eat more of it, I'll have to pick through it some more.

I hear you. I debone all fillets (especially for cured and smoked), but I still like cooking whole fish, the flavor is unique.
