I new about it even saw a video one time but never did it alittle more work but well worth it.
A much better product I like the way the corn 🌽 meal coats the fish better 😋 you can teach an old dog 🐕 new tricks. My kitchen scissors ✂️ sears really worked good cuting out the backbone and snipping the fins off ,where a sharp flexible fillet knife works good for side rib bones
And like you said a pare of tweezers with I keep in my tube patching kit. If I'm not going to freeze any fish I would rather cook it all up in a couple of days instead of having it sit in the fridge raw beside I like cold 🥶 fish the next day bon App?tit 😅

do you know if those fish are stocked trout? I usually like to catch holdover Rainbow trout in Big Bear Lake. Those fish will have a tendency to be pink flesh and taste like salmon. it appears stocked trout can support fried in corn meal.

I have a tendency to avoid freshwater fish, but these pictures of trout fried in cornmeal make me want to head out for trout out in the IE.

Anyone know where I can find a stocking schedule for IE lakes?

Thank you.

Even tho the lake is over a 100ft deep the trout won't hold over so I was told because of to much water exchange they buy and sell water. Weird because lake cuyamaca is only 15ft deep at the dam and trout hold over year round. The trout food at the hatcheries has alot to do with the taste. I call it muddy bottom taste it's gotten better over the years.
These trout are from wright's hatchery in Idaho they taste good

You want to fish, you should be able to find a stocking schedule I have noticed a big drop after stocking in just a couple of days from the fishermen and everything else that eats trout.

So good when its deboned and you can enjoy it without any fear of the bones, and that crispy skin is delicious.
