View original recipe on cookpad.comIf your trout is whole, insert knife in backbone behind gills and slice open to tail and down the gils so the skin is free from the head. Hold head, Loosen corner of filet from backbone and pull filet with your fingers towards the tail, bones will separate, scrape with small knife between bone and filet if needed. Trim filet from tailbone. Filet other side. Done. Save head and bones, tail to make fish broth and catfood.
