Pan-Fried Trout with “Drunken” Sauce
Pan-Fried Trout with “Drunken” Sauce
Trucha con Salsa BorrachaTrout are caught from a number of streams and rivers in Mexico and are most often grilled outdoors over glowing coals or fried in a skillet. Trout fishing is part of my heritage, and my Dad was an expert fly fisherman. We often fished together, even after I became an adult. We didn't know about "drunken sauce"(one including beer, tequila, or other alcohol) until I started traveling in Mexico, and now I love cooking trout this way. Fresh boned trout is widely available in fish markets just about everywhere in the United States.
