I make smoked trout salad. Easy, smiked trout, mayo, little dijon, capers, red onion, and salt and pepper. I could eat a ton if it.
I make patties out of panfish. Never tried trout. I have always heard pellet fed fish do not taste good though.
Sounds great, but I don't have a smoker or a clue on how to do it.
I'm not sure I can have a culinary discussion with you until this problem is rectified. You don't have a charcoal kettle grill at all? You can smoke in a $50 Weber knockoff just fine and it would be the perfect thing to do with your trout.
