Rainbow Trout

Friday  night, start of the weekend… Gentlemen, start your griddles please!

Here we go then… Game four of Season 9 and we followed yesterday’s Seabass with 2 filleted Trout. Yum!

Did not do much different to the Seabass Recipe last night, just stuffed the trout full of citrus fruit, whacked it into the fish basket and put it on te grill.

20 mins later we chowed on down and had some salad with it. Weather permitting we will be BBQ’ing some more on Sunday as well.

Accompanying drinks were; Bierre D’Or and Montana Sauvignon Blanc.

If you are BBQ’ing this weekend, have fun!

All I can say is that I said from the start that it sounded a bad idea. Any BBQ that removes the need for tossing slabs of meat onto a sizzling hot grill is a Barbecue that should be eyed with suspicion.

Granny BS was hosting this BBQ and she requested chauffeuring to the local supermarket for Barbecue supplies. As well all know, the evil supermarkets pop the highly marked up items at eye level to draw the attention of the gullible.

In steps Granny BS, spots some Foil BBQ Fish Bags, decided they are good idea and toddles off to find a shoal of fish to stuff in the bags.

Upon her return to BBQ HQ she plonks the bags down, unloads the fish (trout fillets) and instructs me to prepare them for the grill.

The only prep they needed was to be stuffed in the bag with some citrus fruits, hardly the most taxing BBQ recipe.

The theory was that the bags steam the trout and during the cooking process the flavours from the citrus fruits makes the fish taste even better.

The bags were so flipping big that they took up the entire BBQ meaning there was not even enough room for a cheeky little banger so the trout had better be good.

The end result was a soggy fish mush that I did not even try to eat and the only person who thought it tasted nice was Cairo and Granny BS, although we suspect Granny BS only said that because she had to.

What we learnt is that Fish in foil bags does not work as a BBQ Recipe!

Cairo’s Birthday and the BBQ season started with something simple, i.e. chicken, sausages from Farmhouse Deli then a few cheeky fish kebabs made by my own fair hand.

I have to be honest and say that I think the kebabs could have done with a BBQ marinade recipe of some form, or maybe just a coating to give them a bit more flavour. I did think about quickly making a white wine barbecue recipe marinade but by that time the sausages were on the BBQ and they needed my attention. Duty calls and all that.
