I love fish, and this is one of my favourites:

Trout with crisp bacon crust

Ingredients:

· 2 rashers streaky bacon

· 2 sprigs thyme

· 1 lemon , zested and cut into quarters

· 50g fresh breadcrumbs (about two slices)

· 4 rainbow trout fillets

· 2 tbsp olive oil

1. Heat oven to 220C/fan 200C/gas 7. Finely chop the bacon, then mix together with the thyme, lemon zest and breadcrumbs. Place the fish fillets in a lightly oiled baking dish, then sprinkle a quarter of the breadcrumb mixture over each fillet.

2. Arrange the lemon wedges around the fish and drizzle with the oil. Roast the fish for 8-10 mins until it is cooked through, flakes easily and the topping is golden.

3. Serve with steamed vegetables and boiled new potatoes.

It worked really well. I was able to find Large Rainbow trout for 8.99 a lb. Isn't that alot to pay for trout?

When we are camping and fishing for trout, I marinate the trout with beer over a campfire. MmMm good. I am not much for farmed fish of any kind but love the wild salmon and trout.

Glad you liked it, Luana. I'm not sure of prices in the USA, but an online shop ( in Wales) sells Rainbow Trout fillets at £8 for just over 1lb. so your price doesn't sound too bad to me.

My mum used to say: "If you enjoyed it, it wasn't expensive!"

Oh, I do live near many trout streams, in fact one is 1/2 mi away.

I'll try to catch some this summer of 2012. That should be fun.
