Recipe of the Week:
Grilled Trout

Use Trout fillets with the skin removed. Cut the fillets into 4 inch pieces. Start the grill and get the coals white hot. Coat the Trout pieces lightly with olive oil; this will help prevent sticking to the grill. Place the Trout on the grill and cook for 5 minutes with the skin side down. Then carefully turn the Trout to the other side for 4 minutes. Do not turn the Trout fillet more than once or it might start to crumble. The fillet should flake easily when done.
