To Fry Trout. For those who love the real taste of this excellent fish there is no better way of dressing them than plain frying. It gives a crispness to the flesh and leaves its high flavor entire. Cut and clean the trout, wash them, dry them perfectly with napkins ; cut the sides and back slightly with a very fine knife, strew a little salt over them, and then dredge them with the flour ; set on a pan with some clarified butter, and when it is hot lay in the trout ; fry them to a delicate brown, and send them up in a napkin, garnished with fried parsley

Cook this with the app: pantry check, scaling, and the assistant.
