I love the cleaning job on the fish, cook them with guts, heads, eyes, fins, all intact.
They’re hungry to eat garbage, maybe?
My grandfather, who taught me how to fish when I was less than 5 years old; taught me how to CLEAN the fish too, before bringing them home to grandma.
Little trout...No scales...Slit up the stomache, grab the tongue and pull the entire bunch of guts out...Throw ‘em in the pan...
That’s the way I do it...
