Whole smoked trout...simple and tasty (recipe, catch and cook)

Smoking trout whole in the Camp Chef Pellet Smoker is a no-brainer way to produce great tasting fish. It can be eaten as-is, blended in a variety of fish dips, or chunked and used in pasta/salad, etc.

Nice to see you knocking it out if the park again. I was searching for smoked trout and you were the second one that come up on my list. Nice to see a long time friend on here!

Thanks for posting, I tried it exactly as you described (but with A LOT LESS salt in the brine, for health reasons), and it came out great, I'll do it again!

FINALLY! Been looking all over to find how to smoke a good sized whole trout .... everything I've found before this is using little dinky 10-12" stockers .... got into a good bunch of 3-4 pound rainbows with big fat paunches for bellies .... this vid is the only one that comes close to what I have to work with ... head off so they fit in the cooler for the trip home.... wet brined sounds good, .... deep scoring before brining makes SO much sense if you think about it, as does the diagonal placement on the grates .... stuff that NOBODY else (that I've seen so far in my G00gly searches) has even bothered to mention ...

Not only good eats, but a great way for cooking trout for those that don't want to have to deal with the bones !

[kentonlemon]

That’s looks delicious! Thx for sharing

[hunterb.]

Awesome! I’m gonna start smoking trout instead of crack! 😜

[RHEC]

That is a pretty oven 🤣🤣🤣. Where's your smoker at

[polara]

Don't look bad. I miss trout fried in a skillet with the flour. Crispy tail and skin which I do eat. And I like the bone removal starting from the tail using a fork it's easy. yum.

that trout looks great I will have to try it mainly for the way the meat came off the bones so easily that has always been a problem for me, all the bones, millions of them in a trout, thanks !

[calenlight]

what if you are using whole frozen trout, would a dry brine be better after they thaw?

[pattyrumler]

What is the Temp for smoking the Rainbow ? Thanks Fishful

[DeeHermanson]

Yeah awesome video if I actually know what the brine is made of LOL

[steveg]

Great, but I leave the heads on, oh yeah.

Just get a $79 dollar BBQ at Fred Myer..build a applewood fire on one side and put the Fish on the other....

[Esoxfan]

Just curious how your smoker is holding up any rust or mechanical issues? I just ordered one

[shield]

Cool smokers but they just don't roll smoke like a traditional... sad but true...Happy BBQin 👊 Good job btw

[jonthornton]

How would you know the smoking time for a smaller fish?

[TheFrogfeeder]

My neighbor gave me a nice electric kettle smoker...first thing I did was rip out all the electrical components...that’s cheating ;)
but I like what you did with the fish, I’ve never smoked trout before, was wondering if folks kept or removed the heads and tails...thanks for the video

Looks like trout came out dry and overcooked :)
