My dad taught me how to prepare the trout we caught fresh on camping trips when I was a kid. I always loved the buttery flavor and melt-in-your-mouth texture!

👨‍🍳 Instructions

Place each trout on a piece of aluminum foil.

Season to taste with salt and pepper, then stuff the cavity with 1 tablespoon of butter, green pepper and garlic if using.

Roll the trout tightly in the foil, forming packets.

Use some additional foil to secure each packet of fish to a metal toasting rod for use as a handle when removing fish from the coals.

Cover the fish packets in the red hot, smoldering coals of your campfire and cook until the fish is done, 7 to 10 minutes, depending on the heat of the fire.
