The Finer Side of Pennask

Possibly the most quintessential experience that a father and son can have during the son's adolescence would be a fishing trip. This is a time honored tradition that is practiced throughout the world. Whether it is with a young child or mature adult, their is something primal about being a boat with ones father. You learn a lot about the other because, well you're forced too. As much as most son's do feel a disconnect from their farther during their childhood (Mr. Palahniuk said "We are a generation of men raised by our mothers") their is something about hunt for food that brings out the primal emotions that all men share. They cannot be communicated between each other. Both just know that they have experienced something foreign to their urban nature, but it is something that draws them closer to each other. A sense of more the just family ties, but fraternity, comradely, and fidelity. An experience such as this would seem mundane if it was interrupted by an unimpressive lunch; a fest must be had! And so it shall be...

Pennask Pumpkin and Bree Stuffed Trout

Fish Prep:
Clean and gut the fish down it's belly. Once everything has been removed lay the fish on it's side and make a small cut, perpendicular to the one made gutting the belly, from the back of the fish to its belly. Do this every 3 inches and on both side of the fish. This will make sure the fish does not curl on the grill and make it easier to flip and cook. Make sure you have some skewers soaked in water to close up the fish after it has been stuffed.

Stuffing Prep:
Simply mix everything but the cheese and limes together in a bowl. Once the fish is ready to be put on the grill stuff the cheese in to the fish first and squeeze lime into it. Once that is done add the rest of the stuffing into the Trout. Now 'sew' up the trout where it was gutted with the soaked skewer. This will prevent everything from falling out when it cooks.

Ingredients:
Because the size of every fish varies, it is up to your own discretion on how much or how little should be stuffed.
Fresh Caught Trout (Rainbow)

Crushed Pumpkin Seeds Creamy
Bree Cheese
Fresh Rosemary
Fresh Oregano
Limes
Salt and Pepper

Soaked Skewers

and Olive Oil for the grill

*Optional Tin Foil if you don't want to lay the fish on the grill or in a frying pan*

Cooking:
Simple enough...brush the grill with the olive oil and just lay the fish directly on the grill and cook each side until the tail starts to curl over. Should take no more then 5min a side. If you opted to use the tin foil, this will reduce it from sticking and will take longer to cook. Your food will also be lacking the the tried and true cookout taste that is to be expected. If cooked correctly the trout should be pink throughout. Enjoy!
