Hey Pat -- tks for the piscatorial pictorial....I've cleaned a lot of fish over the X# of years, but never did think about removing that pesky row of spine bones during the cleaning process...do believe I'll do it on the next accidentally caught cutt from Strawbery, or Rainbow from Rockport, if they ever show up there again....Even ran off a copy of your whole process, and will give a copy to grandkids...nicely done...tks again...

Welcome.  Hope it helps you better appreciate your future trout meals.  When prepared that way and oven baked with the butter and spices it rivals the best salmon you ever had.

And if you wanna add a "kicker", try laying on a few shrimp over the seasoned and buttered fish.  I call this "Surf and Surf".
