Prep Time:: Less than 15 minutes
Cook Time: 15 to 30 minutes
Cooking Method: Grilled
Meal Type: Entree
Main Fish: Trout
Ingredients
  • 1 whole trout with or without the head
  • 1 roll tinfoil
  • 1 bottle/can dark lager of choice (Sam Adams...always a good choice)
  • 1 stick of butter or cooking spray
  • Seasoning of choice
  • Grill
Directions
1.Rinse trout (trout must be cleaned, gills removed).
2.Roll out a sheet of tinfoil and place the trout on top. Make sure tinfoil sheet is large enough to be wrapped around the trout and tear off.
3.Cut a small sliver of butter and place on the underside of the trout, the middle of the trout (between the ribs) and on top of the trout. Do the same with your seasoning. If you're using cooking spray, spray lightly on both sides of the trout.
4.Now start rolling the edges of the tinfoil on all sides until a "boat" or cup is formed around the trout. It doesn't have to be pretty, just deep and leak proof enough to hold the beer.
5. Place the trout sans beer on the grill.
6. Pour your choice of beer onto the fish, in my opinion the darker the lager the better. Make sure all the sides of your foil are rolled up nice and tight, you don't want to waste any of that most sacred of ingredients. Pour enough beer to cover half of the fish (about half a bottle).
7. Bring the sides of the foil together over the trout to seal everything in. A little opening in the top to let out steam helps.
8. Fire up the grill and cook trout for 20-30 min. Check the trout routinely with a pair of tongs to pull back the foil and a fork to check the fish. When the fish is white and flaky on the topside, it's done. No need to flip the fish, the beer prevents the underside from burning, plus if you flip it over, you'll lose your beer.
9. Be careful when removing the fish from the grill. Use a pair of tongs. Tinfoil will be hot!
10. Place the trout on a plate, you can remove the foil if you want but I prefer to dip the trout in the left over butter and beer.
11. You can add Mrs. Dash, lemon juice or whatever else you want. I'm sure you could cook the fish with onion or chives or anything else you want as well.
12. Drink the rest of your beer in the bottle with your meal. If that's not enough, drink another.

And that's it for the Best Darned Trout you can Make with a Beer and Some Tinfoil.

Hope you enjoy!
