Bored with Butties phase 24 (reposted)

I’m posting this early as most of you should be disappearing to the Bash. So, take your fishing rods with you as the site is by the side of the Severn, and do something quick, easy & filling with your catch. This is also particularly good if you’ve just been fishing in the Highlands, except that I don’t fish other than go to the wet fish counter at the local supermarket 
Trout with almonds, an exceptional dish. I have to admit that I wasn’t anticipating these being as big as they were otherwise I would only have done the one
They’re also a lot cheaper than you might think – the brace in this little repast were less than £4.00 from Asda 
Tip – Don’t use Mersey trout

Trout, spuds, fennel and lemons

Slice a lemon and some of the fennel. Bin the rest of the fennel

Stuff the bodies with the lemon & fennel

This is messy in a Bongo – coat them in seasoned flour. Note to self – get smaller trout next time.
Also, can you imagine the state of my camera now after trying to do action shots whilst covered from head to foot in flour? 

Fry in butter for a few minutes. Note to self – get a bigger frying pan

Turn gently to avoid slopping molten butter all over your hob

Remove the trout and zap some almonds in the residual juices....

....and serve with lemon wedges & parsley. Note to self – get some bigger plates

Go on, you know you want to
