Would love to see your video review of your new Wunder Boner when it arrives

So let me get this straight, SLF ordered you a wunder boner AND gave you a new meat stick yesterday?

I know...wait....is there a pun I'm missing here.

BTW, how did no one jump on  "I wonder if they make one big enough for for buts" 

I'll go ahead and clear out a corner of the chum bucket for the inevitable demise of this thread.

The backbone, and nearly all of the ribs, can easily be lifted out once cooked.  I like the skin, and often coat the fish in whole wheat flour prior to pan frying in light olive oil.  I rub the inside (after the aforementioned gut and decapitate method) with Murray River pink salt, white pepper, and a squirt of lime.  When the bones exit the cooked body, all asthetics disappear.  I deal with this by shredding it ala pork with two forks.  Shred - with skin - onto cooked red quinoa garnished with green onions. 

It seems pretentious, but the pink salt is worth the efoort.  It kind of melts and dissolves a bit into the flesh.

You can also make a faux miso butterfish and shred over white rice garnished with nori or furikake.

Regarding the original focus of the post - andyjade's recipe sounds great. I used to put back the stocked trout because I did not like how they tasted (and I rarely keep wild trout).  However now I wait until I get about a dozen stocked trout and smoke them. I use a dry organic sugar/kosher salt mix that I leave the fish in for 12-24 hours and smoke them in my gas smoker for a couple hours. I find they are delicious and go great in a summer salad or as a starter. And the bones lift out without any trouble.

I usually throw 'em back, but after a trip to the gas station and grocery store, the last five trout I caught, like myself, have become victims of the economy.



I'll post my super simple recipe later, time for dinner.

SLF saw the vid and has found and ordered me said device. Lets hope it's actually the fish cleaning model...

If not She's gonna be really happy
