Ingredients

  • 2 whole cleaned trout , between 10 and 14 inches
  • 4 strips bacon
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • Lemon
  • Salt to taste
  • Pepper to taste

Directions

1

Make a pan out of aluminium foil slightly larger than your two fish. The pan should have a double layer of foil on the bottom and a lip around the edge of about ¾–1 inch height.

2

Place the pan on a grill over the campfire. Put the butter into the pan, and allow it to begin melting. Wrap each trout with 2 strips of bacon. Add the trout to the pan and season to taste.

3

After the trout has cooked for a few minutes (5–7 depending on the size of the fish), check the inside. If the side close to the fire is white and flakes easily, the fish is ready to turn. Flip the fish, and continue cooking the other side for 3–4 minutes until done.

4

Serve with lemon over a bed of white rice .
