How to cook Planked Trout:

• Build fire in front of a rock or sand pile to reflect heat towards fish. Let it burn down to hot coals.
• Pile coals in front of rock.
• Center fish on boards, skin side down.
• Drive a few nails part way into each fillet to hold it in place.
• Brush with oil sprinkle with black and cayenne peppers, salt and herbs.
• Cover ends of boards with foil to catch drippings and to keep boards clean.
• Stand planked fish at an angle in front of fire, tail end down.
• Rotate plank to ensure even cooking.
• Cook until fish flakes in thickest part, about 20 minutes.
• To serve the Planked Trout, remove nails.

Notes:

Planked Trout may be broiled in a grill also. Place 6 to 7 inches from heat and cook 10 to 15 minutes or until fish flakes.
