Well if you’re not an avid fisherman, then finding whole trout can be difficult for the Wood Fire Herb Trout recipe. In most cities, there should be a fish market that can help you find this kind of trout. Make sure to look online for the closest fish market to you.

Make sure to oil the grill grate to prevent the trout from sticking. Rub a decent amount of oil on the grill grate about 24 hours before you start cooking over fire. This will help to keep the grate clean and slick while not having any oil fires. How hot should the grill be? People tend to be surprised by this answer. The fire should be anywhere from 325-350F for cooking fish & trout. A hot grill is not a problem for a fish if the grill grate is properly oiled. ▢ 3 Fresh Rainbow Trout gutted▢ 2 Large Lemons thinly sliced▢ 1 tbsp Minced Garlic per fish▢ Handful of Fresh Parsley▢ Olive Oil▢ Salt & Pepper ▢ 3 Fresh Rainbow Trout gutted ▢ 2 Large Lemons thinly sliced ▢ 1 tbsp Minced Garlic per fish ▢ Handful of Fresh Parsley ▢ Olive Oil ▢ Salt & Pepper Light the Cowboy Hardwood Lump Charcoal in a charcoal chimney or mound inside your grill and let burn for 10-15 minutes.
