Ingredients

QuantityIngredient
8Slices of lean bacon
43/4 lb. brook trout,
Cleaned
1cupMilk
1cupCrushed Triscuit cracker
Crumbs

Directions

In a large skillet cook the bacon over moderately low heat, turning it, until it is just crisp and transfer it to paper towels to drain.

Dip the trout in the mlk and dredge them in the crumbs, packing the crumbs well onto all sides to form a thick coating. In the fat remaining in the skillet saute the trout over moderate heat for 5 to 6 minutes on each side, or until they are golden brown and just flake when tested, and serve them with the bacon, crumbled.
