Crispy bacon-wrapped trout
This crispy bacon-wrapped trout is a hearty whole-fish recipe that turns a simple catch into a proper meal. The trout are stuffed with a savoury filling of rice, bread cubes, parsley, celery, onion, butter and curry powder, then wrapped in bacon and baked until the fish is tender and the outside is crisp and golden. Serve with chunky homemade chips and lemon wedges for a rustic dish that feels equally at home in the kitchen or after a day on the water.
