Soooooo…….. This is the recipe I shared with my family for Thanksgiving! Not very thanksgiving-y, but everyone loved it. We were trout fishing together for a week, and made this chipotle trout sliders recipe with fresh trout! Yum! It was served along with garlicky green beans, which is a lot more like thanksgiving.

As far as fish sandwiches go, this one is pretty classic. As I did my research for creating this recipe, I found that traditional crispy fried fish with slaw is really the way to go. It just works so well, don’t fix it if it’s not broken (I say that, but I will still try, sigh…life as a food blogger). If you’re not a huge fish fan, or eat a lot of it like I do, this sandwich is a great way to consume more fish without feeling like you are… it’s just a sandwich!

I didn’t grow up eating a lot of salads. But boy do I love them now! Anything can be tossed together and called a salad. This salad is traditional in the sense that I use greens to bulk it up. Roasted potatoes and flaky trout make this dish incredibly filling, which is rare to find in a salad. Pair it with the creamy dilled dressing and you have a winner!

Burgers are a favorite dish in my house. I love to play with flavor combinations, and burgers make this so easy. Because it’s a burger you can fold anything into it, and top it with anything that will fit inside the bun. Tangy mustard and sweet apricot compliment one another to make a gourmet burger that’s out of this world!

This recipe has been an Alison classic for a long time. I have shared it with many friends and family and it is time that it comes to the blog. I love Cajun food. It is a passion of mine to create recipes for Cajun dishes. Etoufee is a classic Cajun dish and this recipe is made with trout!
When I think about turning fish into a burger, I want to see flavor. I eat a fair amount of fish. I love it, but it needs to be different sometimes. These burgers are different in so many ways. Asian style, barbecue sauce, quick pickles, ‘nough said.
If you haven’t noticed yet, I post a lot of fish recipes using trout. That’s right, you guessed it. I am a trout fisherman… fisherwoman. That’s better. I always seem to have plenty of trout in my freezer, and sometimes I need to find creative ways to use it up so that I can plan more fishing trips!

The first time I had sushi was in Sydney Australia when I took my study abroad trip in college. I was uncertain about the idea of eating raw fish… Will it taste weird? Will the texture be off putting? As it turns out, sushi and I must have been long lost friends! I loved the flavor explosion. In a roll, the majority of the texture comes from the rice and veggies. The rice is seasoned and sauces are used to add flare and flavor. If you have never tried sushi I highly recommend it. Most restaurants have varieties that use cooked fish and seafood if the raw aspect sends you screaming.

My family loves smoked trout. We always make big batches when the family gathers and I love to bring home leftovers to play with in the kitchen. This recipe using smoked trout is very simple, yet very elegant.
First is the potato pancakes. These hash brown-like patties serve as the base for this dish and use grated russet potatoes, olive oil, salt and pepper. Making the pancake crispy requires removing liquid from the potatoes. I simply took handfuls of grated potato and squeezed out excess moisture over the sink. If you have kids, this could be a fun way for them to contribute in the kitchen!

I love to fish, and I always seem to have a freezer full of fish that needs to be used. Fish cakes are a traditional European dish that was made to use up leftover fish and potatoes. Today I decided to whip up this recipe to help make space in the freezer. Of course, this simply means I need to plan my next fishing trip!
