This Pan Fried Trout Recipe is one of my favorite ways to cook this beautiful fish. The fish comes out soft, flaky, and juicy with a light crust on the outside. You can taste the delicate fish, and it is so flavorful.

This recipe shows you how to fry the entire fish in the pan for a true sea-to-table dinner. Reviewers say breading the trout in flour and cornmeal creates a deliciously crisp texture.

In a large skillet, melt 3 tablespoons of the butter and the oil. When it is hot, put in the trout and fry over medium-high heat. When browned, turn and brown the other side; each side will take about 3 minutes. Melt the remaining 4 tablespoons butter with lemon juice and chives in a small saucepan.
