4 (6 - 8 oz) fresh caught
- rainbow trout; gutted,
- heads optional
2 Handsful wild onion greens
- or chives
Salt & Pepper
Lemon juice
First catch your trout - if you don't you go hungry.
Gut the fish and stuff the cavity with onion/chive
greens.
Make a thick mud using river water and dirt from the
bank. Pack the stuffed fish into a coating and place
in the coals of your campfire, surrounding the entire
packet.
When the mud has baked hard the fish is done. Break
open and discard the mud - taking care not to get bits
into the cavity. The scales of the fish will come away
with the mud.
Season with salt & pepper and lemon juice and ENJOY!!!
First made by me on the Kern River between Bodfish and
Johnsondale, California in July 1966.
RECIPE FROM: Walt "Thunder Belly" Turner
