How to Clean a Rainbow Trout

Eating a rainbow trout can be just as fun and enjoyable as catching one! If you decide to keep your catch after going trout fishing, you¡¯ll want to make sure to clean your fish properly. The way you clean your fish can affect its taste, and doing a thorough job will make your trout taste as great as possible.

The first step when you are cleaning your rainbow trout is to de-head it by making two cuts on either side of the fish, as shown in the following video. After that, make sure you dispose of the innards. It sounds like a daunting task, but it is an essential step. Making sure that you properly remove and clean out the trout¡¯s bloodline is also very important. The video suggests that you use and old toothbrush and a tub of clean water.

After you have taken the time to properly clean your rainbow trout, you¡¯ll be ready to cook it using your favorite method!
