First thing to remember is to not fear fish with the head on! Fact is fish have heads, buying fish with the head removed seems somehow less fresh to me, a whole intact fish is a thing of beauty.
A few things to keep in mind when buying fish!
First, buy it the day you want to cook it. No matter the fish your cooking you want it to be fresh. Next look into the eyes, they should be clear, not cloudy! Next smell it, fish should not smell "fishy". Last and most important talk to your fishmonger, he/she knows the product and have so much knowledge about what your buying.
Now that you have bought the freshest fish possible, next is cleaning! Get your fishmonger to do it! easy right?
Ok now fire up the grill, you want your grill hot but your coals not to hot, medium hi should do the trick and remember CLEAN and OIL the grill... Next oil up the trout inside and out, then salt, don't be shy... both inside and out again. Ok its time to add some flavour, I like to stuff the inside with onion's, garlic, lemon slices and crushed black pepper (to taste) and that's about it! Grill both sides about 8 to 10 minutes each side.
If you want to add a little Canadian flavour to your trout melt 1/4 cup of butter over medium heat add 4 or 5 tbl of maple syrup. just drizzle that over the trout and enjoy.
