10/31/2010 7:17:00 PMWell they are great smoked but most are good anyway you wanna cook them..I really enjoy eating these fish pan fried or baked..Laketrout have had a bad name because they have a fat layer in them along the rib cage and if not taken out they are not as appealing...I have a Baking recipe that I use alot..I call it Alaskan Baked Potato..Check it out on my website www.lakechelanadventures.com under the recipe section...Thanks so much for the questions..

10/31/2010 7:38:00 PMNice looking fish Joe, and what a weekend of catching you've had. Hey Joe, I'd second the comment on removing the Brown fat layer to improve the flavor of the Macks. I always remove the skin while I'm filleting whether for the grill or the smoker. A good sharp knife makes the job easier. Keep the reports comming.

I am asking because I would like to try the fishery out over there, and prefer smoked and / or kippered fish to grilled or baked. Looked like a beautiful day out there on Chelan!
