Trout and asparagus for dinner tonight

My mom was placing an order from Lidl and asked me if I want some fish. I asked her to order me some trout. That's what I will be making for dinner tonight, along with some asparagus. I think I will just pan fry both. The trout is not a whole fish. It is a piece of it with the skin attached on one side. There are no bones, unless they accidentally missed some. However, the scales are not removed. That means before cooking the fish I will have to stand there and remove all the scales. And afterwards, I will have to wash the sink as it will most likely smell like fish. I am not looking forward to all that. I don't get why they can't just remove the scales... What are you having for dinner?

I ate some cooked veggies with mayonaise. Later, I will eat a fruit for dessert.

Funny you mention this. I love broccoli with Miracle Whip on it, and usually when I tell someone that they look at me like I have four heads. lol

@porwest Here most people eat artichikes with a dressing of oil, salt and lemon juice. I make mayo to have with my artichokes. And I eat cauliflower with mayo with crushed garlic.

I love trout! It's been quite a while since I've had it though. I hope you enjoyed the dinner, despite having to de-scale the fish!

@lovebuglena I always thought trout was more of a gray color than a pink color. But maybe I'm wrong.

@moffittjc They are very similar color-wise.

When I looked at that raw trout, if it didn't have a label on it I'd have thought it was salmon.

I ask the fish market to cut away the skin on fish if there is any. Do you add anything to the trout when you cook it, such as seasonings or spices?

Don't remember if I ever made trout before. But I will add sea salt and 21 seasoning salute spice from Trader Joe's and will baste with butter. Then will squeeze some fresh lemon on the fish when ready to eat.

A fishy smell can hang around for ages.

Sounds delicious. Our food was great, although I used coarse cumin salt on the fish and put a little more than I should have as I've not used that before and thought some might fall off the fish. The skin turned out a bit salty because of it.

@LindaOHio The taste was good though. I've never put cumin on fish before.

Trout is something I love, but hardly ever eat. Maybe I need to put some on the list.

I miss asparagus. I used to mix it with my special vegetable dish of broccoli and cauliflower. It is not available in the market anymore.

@lovebuglena asparagus comes from the northern provinces that have a cool weather. Maybe it is the effect of the previous lockdown.

Why is it not for sale anymore? Not in season? I don't eat asparagus often at home. It's been a while since I last had it.

@Alexandoy What's your typical weather where you live? Is it hot and humid in the summer?

They say that the nutrients we get from a fish are in the scales. But it also causes uric acid. I am thinking of having a spam.

Scales are prickly. I do not like them.
