Brown trout Lox

[Kevin J Legg]

After reading the dangers of fresh water lox I decided to try it. Froze the skinned fillets for a week then put them in 50/50 mix of Kosher Salt and sugar with some dill weed. Vacuum sealed and put in refrigerator with a plate and weight on top. Left 2 days remove bones, rinsed and sliced thin. Then candled to search for parasites.

From my research the risk is low to begin with. In addition freezing to -4 F for 7 days kills any potential parasites ( make sure your freezer is set this cold)and the salt kills and bacteria so should be fine.

I did the same with a king. It was so dam good I plan on making it with every king I catch...well at least 1

I had to set my freezer to coldest setting to get the required -4 degree F. Left it for a week to kill any possible parasites. Very easy to make and a good end product.

I also bought a special set of tweezers call an Easy Boner for removing the pin bones that works well.

No kidding right...its so good I dont know why it took so long for me to do it. I had some thia morning on a bagel with cream cheese mixed with capers and dill...holy crap man

I think some of the post on eating raw freshwater fish scare people off. It’s very easy to make and tasty but need to follow recommendations.

That looks very tasty, I have to give that a try. I've done something similar with king salmon filets but not with browns. Thanks for posting this.
