    Oh yes, Southeastern Alaskan checking in. This but smoked salmon instead? It's all over the place out here. It's a cornerstone of gatherings.
  • I love smoked trout and since I live in Detroit, I’ve got some of the best smoked trout in the world to work with. I like to crisp the leftover fish skins and eat them like potato chips.

    Really want to try this now, Local store usually has a smoked small fish that I enjoy eating as is, preparing it this way seems to improve it too :)
  • Frank, this is awesome! I make something very similar with the homemade smoke salmon I do here at the Underground. I add a little sour cream to loosen it up a bit. I also add a little of the lemon rind. I do not add additional S+P because my salmon is mega seasoned. And when it's #TimeToTaste it goes great with icy cold beer, vodka or your favorite bubbles. Great job!
  • HEADS UP. YT has been having a serious problem these past few days. It indicates 5 comments and I can only see 2 on my cell phone. Your channel is not the only one. Tell other YT creators? Your call. It's awesome to see the vids, of course; but, it's also nice to read the others' comments and interact with them, as well. Take care... 👍 ⚘ 🙏❤🙏 ⚘

    I tried this today and OH MY it was fabulous on a bagel with some greens! Going to try again with crab meat this weekend! Thank you Chef Frank!
  • This looks a lot like the salmon spread I had in Alaska. It's just smoked salmon and cream cheese but I like to add a little roasted garlic too. The addition of lemon juice sounds great. I'll do that next time.
  • @xxPenjoxx
    Looked super delicious, great recipe! I'm very lucky to live in Scotland, our fish is some of the best in the world and the trout here is definitely included in that list.
  • @forteandblues
    Love trout here in Colorado! I’ll have to go catch one!
  • @KyleBaran90
    For the first time, I cured my own salmon once or twice in the last year. It wasn't terribly difficult and it was super tasty. Quite expensive, it was a nice treat.
  • Yay, Chef Frank Proto, BA, Epicurious, ProHome Cooks and Food Network all just posted a vid. Yahoo. Time for some giddy-up in the kitchen. Great recipe, Chef Frank. My dad used to have 3 smokers, and fished. I nuke my cr chz for a few seconds to further soften it. This recipe would also be great with a little minced celery, to taste of course.
  • @TheTigerTye
    ok I have to try this. Thanks for sharing it Frank :)
  • @aisharane
    Ooooh can’t wait to try this one out with my limited cooking abilities
  • @susanditz5482
    This looks so delicious! Could you also make a video on chicken liver pate? Our favorite place serving this burned down a few years ago and will not be reopening.
  • I love trout! I've only eaten it in restaurants because I feel a little intimidated about cooking it at home. But this I know I can make, with ease. :-) Thank you!

    It's not a Krabby patty. It's a Krabby pate.
