Anatomy Lesson

One of our little adventures for this week was to find some trout to eat. We saw tons of trout and trout fishermen while hiking to this lake last weekend so Matilda's interest was piqued. I decided to finally investigate a fish market over in Glendale that had been recommended to us, Fish King. Not only did the fish market have a huge selection and great prices, they also had a little take out section with fantastic calamari. While driving to the market Matilda decided she wanted calamari and I was nervous as I had never prepared it before. The little cafe saved me that trouble and provided some instant gratification so we shared an order for lunch that day. 
Our trout we prepared for dinner with this recipe. It turned out quite tasty but the best part was how Matilda got to help me manhandle the raw fish. They were gutted and partially boned rainbow trout but the heads and fins were all still on so Matilda got a full fish lesson. Together we figured out what parts to cut off, poked at the eyes, felt the teeth and got lots of scales stuck to our fingers.
