This recipe uses the baking method for cooking trout as it produces a slightly crisp skin and moist flesh, and it’s very simple to do. What is the best cooking method for trout? Season the fish generously all over and drizzle with the remaining oil.Place the two rainbow trout over a lightly oiled baking tray and stuff the fish cavity with slices of lemon and herbs.Before baking, rinse the trout thoroughly on the inside and outside then dab dry with kitchen roll.Some people also like to remove the heads. You can ask your fishmonger to do this for you, or choose ‘cleaned fish’ if ordering online. We recommend buying the trout as a whole fish that has been gutted and cleaned, which will save a lot of prep time.To use them in place of smaller trout you may need to increase the cooking time as they are thicker. They can be used in place of salmon in most dishes. Sea trout is much larger and meatier and are mostly sold as ready prepared portioned fillets (like salmon). The fillets are quite thin, so cook quickly. You’d generally serve one whole fish per person, or 1-2 whole fillets. Most trout are small freshwater fish – these include the widely available rainbow trout and brown trout. What’s the difference between trout and sea trout? Don’t rule out frozen fish – it can often be really good quality as it may well have been frozen just hours after it was caught. There are also more and more specialist fish suppliers online now, some of which ship the fish on the same day it’s caught. If you’re lucky enough to have a good fishmonger near you, then that will be your best bet. Mushy or soft flesh is another sign it is past its best. If you feel the trout, it should be firm to touch and have a slight natural slime.It certainly shouldn’t smell strong, unpleasant or ‘fishy’ – this is a sign of the fish having gone off or at the very least being past its best. Fishmongers often say that fish should smell of ‘nothing but the sea’. The fish should smell of very little at all.Older fish will have darker or duller coloured gills. The gills should be bright red or vibrant pink inside.The eyes should be clear and bright and not dry or sunken.Here’s what to check for when buying fish: You want to make sure the fish is as fresh as possible when buying it.
