I just made this last night. Followed the recipe and grilling details exactly and it came out fantastic! This is going in my regular grilling rotation. Thank you very much for posting this video.
SIMPLY THE BEST! My wife and I are always making some form of pan-seared rainbow trout fillets with some form of white wine butter sauce but being from Texas, wanted to try something grilled on the pit (everything tastes better grilled). Never made a whole fish though. After looking about 30 min, came across this recipe. It's simply way too easy to make and way too delicious for the amount of effort put into it! We just can't believe how good it is! Just fantastic!!! It doesn't need any sauce or anything extra. We're definitely adding this to our list of regular meals. I can't explain in words how thankful and appreciative we are! Thanks again!!!
Grover!!! You just made my day! There's something about that simplicity, and the flavour of trout - it's light, fresh, pleasing all around! S0o happy you found us - thanks for watching and writing in!!!!
I agree Grover Cessor, this was simply the best. I caught my first rainbow trout on Sunday and made this delish easy meal last night. The fish was moist and pulling out the bone was so easy!. I am going to try and use the head and bones for fish stock. Thank you. I oven baked mine for 7 mins each side...perfect.
Hey Barbarie... so happy you enjoyed. It's certainly one of my favourite fish recipes. Make sure to stay tuned though... I have a great recipe coming up for Branzino... stay tuned!!!
Thank you for the recipe! I tried to grill trout following this video, got delicious grilled trout, this recipe is so healthy with all natural ingredients!
@ They came out Delicious!! I served them worth a side of grilled baby Bok Choy & Chinese Eggplant. Your video helped me a LOT! Very much appreciated 🙏🏿
Almost time for the trout opener! Deboning after cooking seems like a great idea, just pull them out vs spending all day trying to cut them out. I will be trying this!
Thanks for watching and writing in. Truth... it's one of my favouroite summer meals and it's such a perfect way of preparing this gorgeous fish! We're thinking you must be a fisherman, D. Grem... good catch!
Very good step by step instructions and explanations. Eg: I didn’t know that you don’t eat the stuffing! Years ago I made whole trout stuffed with almonds, mushrooms, etc and ate them with the trout. I guess I’m just a rube, lol 😝
Oh yum! Thankyou. Great tutorial👌I am so excited to try this. I have never cooked a whole fish before. I am going to try it in my charcoal grill with small chips for a smoky flavour, have you tried this on a charcoal bbq?
Can't wait to try this! The worst part of cleaning trout is removing the bones. I believe you have got it mastered. Any reason I shouldn't remove the head before grilling? Thank you sir!
Thanks for watching, Squank! I'd leave it on... just to keep the shape firm while you grill. Also... bet less moisture will escape with the head left on.
@@Weekendatthecottage So used your recipe to cook 5 big trophies 2 days ago on the gas grill. They turned out amazing with the meat as thick as salmon. Ironically, when I use the indoor George Foreman grill, I keep them longer than 14 mins longer, they get really grilled like chicken almost as if bbqed. However, with your quick 7 mins each side, I got volume and wholesomeness as if served at a 5 stat restaurant Plus, the trout line was there indeed 😊 and super easy to remove the bone it took literally 5 secs. Using 2 tongs was also a brilliant idea. Finally, my visiting Australian uncle was super impressed with the outcome and taste. Thanks 😊 Note: Even when the bone is removed using your method as we know it there are still plenty of small bones left. For me and my uncles we don't mind getting out hands dirty and eating with caution. However, my nieces are picky and so I have to fillet the whole trout. So is there anothet trick to still remove all the bones using same method?
My goodness - this is awesome!!! Only other thing would be to de-bone the fish before grilling - but - I feel the result pales in comparison. It'll be more like filleting salmon, where you run your hand over the flesh trying to snag those tiny bones - pretty tough. On another note... LOL!... make sure to check the site on Friday - coming up!!! I'm searing a fillet of Arctic char... you will LOVE. Hugs to the Aussies, from us in Canada, eh!
Absolutely off the chain how good this is. And as cheap as I can get whole trout at Costco it’s going to be more than a regular in the weekly meal rotation
Thank you Derrick! It's always on rotation up here in cottage country and the flavour never disappoints. If you get a chance try this seared char (method also works with salmon)... it's my other go-to! YAY!!!! weekendatthecottage.com/seared-arctic-char-with-fresh-peach-salsa/
Thank you for this video! I’ve never cooked much fish before and I needed to learn how to do this for my Great Dane Service Dog puppy. I will not be adding any seasoning accept the oil ( or I may decide to opt for a different oil that is best for him). Thanks again! 👍🏽
who r u! just discovered u looking for a whole trout recipe grilled. love this show and your skills dude! i am cooking a 7lb lol eastern sierra rainbow i caught and air sealed until now.
Hey Scott! Excellent question - the fish was scaled because someone caught it for me, and prepped it. By all means... you can leave the scales on - your call. THANK YOU for watching!
Followed this recipe along with Herb Beurre Blanc, turned out very good. Only issue were bones even after removing central and fin bones. The deboning falls on me I guess as this is my first run at grilling whole trout. I grilled 4 and had no issues flipping. Dish was great, I'd do it again.
So I went for it. Big Christmas Eve dinner. 9 beautiful rainbow trout. Wife heckling me on having rainbow trout on Christmas eve (The Kranks smoked trout / honey baked ham scene) 25 degrees outside. Grill range just big enough to fit those little beauties side by side, dorsal fin butted up against the cavity of the next. Highly risky maneuver, but doing 2 or 3 batches would have extended dinner start time. I had to throttle the temp given the draw of heat from a full bbq range full of fish but essentially I followed your method and only added some satsuma in the cavities of the trout in addition to your recipie. Results, superfantastic! Complements were thrown around like happens during Christmas, so how do I know it was that good? The kids cleaned their plates... Pro tip: I used a long spat to break the sear on the fish/grill and then used a special tong/spatula combo tool and they flipped just like you said.
JAMES!!! You made my day! So pleased to read how you handled it, which is PRO! But... that first bite, right? When you get a chance, try the seared Arctic char... I'm pretty proud of that, too! THANK YOU for watching and trying the recipe! Best wishes for health and good catches in the new year! N
A few other good indicators of a fresh fish are if the gills are bright red and not dull or pinkish, as well as if it is spongy to the press then it IS fresh. If you press on the fish and the indent you made from touching it stays there then it is NOT fresh. Thought this might be useful just to be safe :)
Why use extra virgin olive oil to clean grill? It has low smoke temp, and with the high cost it is best used for salad dressing or whenever consuming the oil directly. Use vegetable/canola oil to clean the grill, it’s a lot less expensive and has higher smoke temp.
YES! If you've caught the fish, you'll need to. If purchasing the fish from market - check to make sure it's been descaled. You're going to love this recipe... yay!!!

Sir, thank you soooo much! What a great video!
Thanks, Dave! It's such a glorious fresh catch... we figured better cook it right, right? Thanks for watching!
Almost time for the trout opener! Deboning after cooking seems like a great idea, just pull them out vs spending all day trying to cut them out. I will be trying this!
Thanks, Bigmonu! Worked perfectly every time... especially with fine boned fish.
Caught 2 Rainbows yesterday, cookin now! Thanks for the vid!!!

Very well explained off to try it now thank you
Thank you, Thomas! I kind of think grilling whole fish is a labour of love - but when done correctly... seriously, one of the finest meals! Enjoy!!!
Very good step by step instructions and explanations. Eg: I didn’t know that you don’t eat the stuffing! Years ago I made whole trout stuffed with almonds, mushrooms, etc and ate them with the trout. I guess I’m just a rube, lol 😝
Thanks for watching, and writing in. For sure you can make a stuffing for fish - this recipe, tho... we didn't... LOL!
Came up delicious, thanks!
Thank you, Chris! I'll be grilling one up again this weekend, too! Yay!!!
Well done. Thanks.
Thanks, really appreciate you watching.
This video is fantastic! I can’t believe you don’t have more views
Thank you Trav Us! There's also an additional video coming - just the deboning of a trout. Thanks for watching!
Oh yum! Thankyou. Great tutorial👌I am so excited to try this. I have never cooked a whole fish before. I am going to try it in my charcoal grill with small chips for a smoky flavour, have you tried this on a charcoal bbq?
Hi Carlie... thanks for watching! Yes, have tried this recipe on gas, charcoal and a campfire. Wait until you trie... swoon!!! Enjoy!!!
Thankyou so much! I'm even more excited now😍👌
I had it for supper it was really fantastic one of the easiest and best that I've had thank you
Thanks Thomas! So happy you had great success and enjoyed!

Just tried trout for the first time (was on sale at Lucky). Cooked it following this video. Came out delicious! Thanks for the vid.
Thanks, Chris! Not sure where u are or where a Lucky store is - but hurray! Such a tasty, healthy fish option! Tell all your friends - woot!

Chris!!! Thanks for this, and thanks too for subbing to the website! Send pics of your finished fish! N
Great tutorial 💗
Thank you Kristen! Way easier than you might think, right?! Enjoy!
Love it thanks
Thanks for watching... such a great taste.
Very good video; I am curious though, why would you bother to scale a fish, especially a trout, when you will not be consuming the skin?
Hey Scott! Excellent question - the fish was scaled because someone caught it for me, and prepped it. By all means... you can leave the scales on - your call. THANK YOU for watching!
Followed this recipe along with Herb Beurre Blanc, turned out very good. Only issue were bones even after removing central and fin bones. The deboning falls on me I guess as this is my first run at grilling whole trout. I grilled 4 and had no issues flipping. Dish was great, I'd do it again.
Thanks, 10degrees! Sometimes a few bones sneak past... but the bulk are removed. Four fish is a lot to manage though... so GOOD ON YOU!

I can smell this delicious trout
You got it, Jojo!!!
Nice video... well done
Thanks, Bill - hope catch a big one!
@@Weekendatthecottage caught one now doing your suggestions and it was awesome!!
A few other good indicators of a fresh fish are if the gills are bright red and not dull or pinkish, as well as if it is spongy to the press then it IS fresh. If you press on the fish and the indent you made from touching it stays there then it is NOT fresh.
Thought this might be useful just to be safe :)
THIS IS EXCELLENT! Thank you, futuresounds! Love the community of delicious fish-loving people that's sprung up around this post. Hope you enjoy!
Excellent recipe and explanation. One key light and a lav mic will take this video from 60k views to 6 mil views
Thanks DSQ... we picked up a Rode Lav set... fingers crossed... We really appreciate you watching... play on!
Why use extra virgin olive oil to clean grill? It has low smoke temp, and with the high cost it is best used for salad dressing or whenever consuming the oil directly. Use vegetable/canola oil to clean the grill, it’s a lot less expensive and has higher smoke temp.

Do you de-scale the trout?
YES! If you've caught the fish, you'll need to. If purchasing the fish from market - check to make sure it's been descaled. You're going to love this recipe... yay!!!

Thanks, Hop To It! Hope you're well!
If the trout fins are easily pulled out the fish is perfectly done!
Hi SamoU! Thanks for writing in - yes, the fins just slip away when the fish is perfectly done this way!
Just goes to show that parents don't show how to eat fish. Also it's herbs not erbs.
We always eat fish with the kids... erbs and herbs and all! Thanks for watching!
