Frequently Asked Questions

In this section we are going to answer some of your most frequently asked questions. So, without further ado, let us get started!

What Do You Soak Trout in Before Cooking?


If you want to soak your trout before you cook it then you will need to mix up a solution in order to soak this tasty fish. Start by putting half a teaspoon of baking powder in a quart of water.

Place your fish in and allow it to soak in the solution for about half an hour. Once your time is up you need to take the fish out of the pan and rinse it under cool water. Finally, take your trout and soak it in buttermilk for one hour. 

Should You Wash Trout Before Cooking?

It is recommended to wash your trout thoroughly before you cook it. You will need to rinse your fish under cool water and make sure to clean both the inside and outside. On top of that, if you like eating fish skin you will need to make sure that your trout has been scaled. 

Why Is Trout So Slimy?

Trout can look a bit gross when you see just how slimy it is. But, despite this gross feature of this fish it is actually a sign that it was a healthy specimen. When the jelly-like covering is not present you know that your trout has passed its prime.

This jelly film around the trout is designed to keep the trout safe from bacterial and fungal infection while they are alive. It is also something that they use to help them swim through the water more effectively. 

Should You Wear Gloves When Handling Trout?

You can wear gloves when you are fishing or casting but once you have your trout in a net you should remove your gloves before you take the hook out of the fish.

You should also keep the gloves off while the trout when you take a picture of you and your amazing catch. This is because gloves can be harmful to the fish as they strip the protective slime that naturally coats trout.

This can actually kill the fish in the long run which is detrimental to the fish if you are not planning on keeping and consuming the fish that you catch. 

How Long Can Thawed Fish Stay In The Fridge?

Once your fish has thawed completely it will last about two days in the fridge before it starts to spoil. But this i snot always true as the length of time it stays fresh is often dependent on the variety of fish it may last longer or shorter.

So, bass, tuna, salmon, flounder, and trout can last between three and five days in the refrigerator. But if you are storing oily fish like mackerel or sardines you may have a much shorter window before the fish starts to go off. 

Can You Freeze Fresh Trout?

Yes you can. Fatty fish like trout can last a minimum of three months in a freezer before they start to lose their flavor.

But they should still be good to eat regardless of how long you keep them in the freezer. Just know that the quality and flavor of the fish may diminish the longer it is kept in the freezer.
