How do you cook farmed trout I added rosemary but it still tastes?
Pan Fried Trout
Reluctant Gourmet’s Tips
1. Use a cast iron fry pan for this meal if you have one.
2. Try margarine instead of butter to reduce smoking.
Pan Fried Trout with Eggs %26amp; Fried Potatoes
Cooking Technique = Pan Fry
INGREDIENTS2 Tablespoons margarine
Trout, fresh caught if possible and cleaned
Bacon Fry Coating Mix
1 onion, chopped
4-5 Idaho potatoes, cubed
1 egg for coating, farm fresh if possible
eggs, as many as you like to eat for breakfast
PREP WORK Cleaning the fish: We cleaned the fish just after we caught them by gutting them, cutting off the gills, and most importantly, scraping off the blood line off the backbone.
Chop the onion, cube the potatoes and you are ready to start.
HOW TO MAKE AT HOMEHeat margarine in your fry pan over medium high heat. If you use butter, lower the heat a little to prevent smoking. Add onion and sauté for 2-3 minutes, then add potato. Cook until potato softens up a little, approximately 10 minutes. Make room for the fish.
Rinse the fish under cold water and pat dry with a paper towel. Drying will prevent the fish from steaming when you cook it.
Place fish into egg and coat with Bacon Fry Coating Mix. We used Krusteary Bacon Fry Coating Mix, but I'm not sure this is available outside of McCall, Idaho.
Add fish to the fry pan and cook until golden brown and the meat separates from the backbone. Another way to test for doneness is when the dorsal and pectoral fins pull out easily.
Remove the fish, onions, and potatoes to a plate, cover with foil to keep warm. Cook your eggs any way you please in the fry pan and serve with fish, onions, and potatoes.
How do you cook farmed trout I added rosemary but it still tastes?
I always put butter , onion , pepper, salt and a slice of rasher. Cover is tin foil and in a preheated oven for half an hour.
Reply:It's imprtant, Very important to make sure u clean and gut the trout real well! try not to touch the meat and get the scales all over or your trout will taste fishy, filleting is the best way to go though, fry in butter- mmm the best with fresh lemon! don't forget, KEEP SCALES OFF THE MEAT!
Reply:surely thats a good thing that your trout tastes of something...? Not sure I would add rosemary to trout though - a bit too overpowering perhaps.
Reply:I put some flour and some salt and pepper in a plastic bag. Then I add the cleaned but still whole trout to the bag and give it a good shake.
Then I heat good quality olive oil in a heavy duty cast iron frying pan (le cruetset or something like that) to a depth of a centimetre or so.
Then I take the trout out of the bag and shake it to get ride of any excess flour. Then add to the apn and fry on each side for about 8 minutes depending on the size of the fish. When the skin easily comes away from the meat it is cooked.
Then serve.
Fresh trout will always taste a bit 'soily' that's it's taste. Nothing wrong with it - in fact I enjoy the taste - like jersey potatoes and will sometimes splash out (geddit) on a wild trout just for the extra earthiness.
If you do want to add extra flavourings try ones that complement fish like dill or parsley not rosemary but in my opinion really good, fresh fish needs nothing more than salt, pepper and maybe a squeeze of lemon.
Reply:That is an incomplete sentence.
Or your a jokester...
Reply:fillet the trout melt some butter(lightly salted about 3tbs per fillet)in a Fry pan at med high heat place fillet skin down, lightly salt and pepper.cook until flaky squeeze fresh lemon juice on them and serve

How much money can you make selling Rosemary?
Well, if you are going to grow and sell rosemary might I suggest that you also grow other herbs to go along with the rosemary. Like thyme , basil ,dill and chives for example. those are all high dollar per ounce items(check and see what the grocery store charges for just a 1/4 of an ounce). I was a chef for 15 years and have grown dependant on cooking with fresh herbs. I then would check and see what suppliers charge for them(for example a company like Sysco) and charge a little less. Then I would go to some local fine dining resturants and speak to the executive chef and try to establish a deal/contract for him to purchase your product using the tactic that you are a "local" grower and can deliver "whenever" he/she needs a delivery. And in turn he/she is supporting a local business. And also add the little tidbit that you take great pride in the care and growing your herbs naturally. When I was executive chef at a 3 star bistro I not only bought my herbs from a local grower but I also bought tomatoes green beans and a few other veggies from a local farmer and the difference in taste was so much better. And ,for me, knowing I supported a local business man instead of supporting a corporate giant gave me good feeling that I was helping the local economy. Best of luck to you,friend..........
How much money can you make selling Rosemary?
I don't know, is Rosemary good looking?
Seriously, though it will depend on what you do with it. Fresh will be hard to sell enough of it to do much. Dried and packaged, you might have a small gold mine. Almost all spices bring good prices, even at wholesale. If I was doing and had the ground, I would not limit myself to one spice. thyme, basil, coriander (also called cilantro) garlic, and other spices that can be grown bring good prices. Garlic is particularly easy to grow and brings a good price in many varieties from fresh to ground to extracts.
Reply:The key to your question is "make Money" by this I assume you mean profit. Fresh rosemary can bring from $8.00 to $20.00 per pound if quality and service are unusually good. By the time you deduct cost of growing, cleaning, packaging, selling, delivering, accounting, collecting on debits, paying taxes you will find yourself working 80 hrs a week to get deeper in debit. If you have really cheap labor, cheat on your taxes (not recommended) and deliver by bicycle you could make it work.
Reply:depends on how good looking she is
Reply:You might want to inquire at some of your local restaurants. Chefs are starting to look for locally grown produce more and more. There are a lot of recipes that call for using rosemary sprigs as skewers. Find out what they are looking for and take them some samples. Just be sure that you can deliver what they want consistently, in the quality and quantities they demand.

Rosemary has spit on it. Looks like someone has been spitting on my rosemary & ants are all over it to.?
ants ants everywhere. thay are climbing all over my rosemary. can ants spit?
Rosemary has spit on it. Looks like someone has been spitting on my rosemary %26amp; ants are all over it to.?
Noone is spitting on your rosemary. well, no person, that is. what you see are spittlebug masses.
MEADOW SPITTLEBUG.
Philaenus spumarius
greenish bugs found within spittle masses suck sap.
No noticeable plant injury has been documented.
common from april to july.
hose it off with strong blast of water. it won't be back until next year.
Reply:You need to spray with either liquid seven or malathion.This will take of all of that.
Reply:There is also an insect called a "Spittle Bug". Could be that. Weird, huh? There is usually only one bug per spot of "spittle". So you could blast it with a hose or you could spray something like Malathion or insecticidal soap.
Many insects secrete a sugary substance that ants cultivate. So, when you see ants that is a secondary problem and indicates other insects.
Good luck :-)
Reply:Aphids produce a "honeydew" substance that ants eat. The ants will tend the aphids as if they were mini-livestock. If you get rid of the aphids, the ants and the "spit" will vanish. There are several non-toxic ways of getting rid of aphids. These will get rid of the aphids without causing harm to beneficial insects such as ladybugs and bees, the birds, your pets, your children and yourself. One effective option is a soap spray. You can make it at home, using a very dilute soap and water mixture; put it in a spray bottle and give the rosemary a good drenching, covering the entire plant until the soap spray is running off. You can also buy insecticidal soap sprays in a plant nursery or many major yard and garden centers. Another option is a horticultural oil spray. This is a nontoxic, nonpetroleum oil spray that kills the pests by suffocating them rather than poisoning them. That's good because not only will you not have toxic chemicals in your garden, but the bees and ladybugs that visit your rosemary later won't be killed by the oil residue on the plant. I think the soap option is the easiest, and it is quite effective. Good luck!
Reply:You have aphids and you need to buy aphid spray. You can buy it at walmart or any nursery. Take a piece of your rosemary in and show it to the garden consultant in the nursery.
Reply:You have aphids and the ants are eating the aphids or farming them.
Reply:Actually, there is a bug called a spittlebug. I have seen them on plants from time to time but not in the garden. The ants are not causing this spittle. They may the predators that are after the critter in the middle of this spittle.

Whats on my organic Rosemary bush?
white globs of something inbtwn the leaves, not the entire plant but enough to get your attention. I hit it with the water hose and it fell off, but not right away. I live in the desert if thats a clue. I saw a mouse like thing too, I did not know that mice or what ever it was could scale a wall . it ran btwn a crack eeeew! maybe it was after someting else in my garden.

Sounds like whiteflies, if they're fuzzy. If it looks like spit, then it's what we call "spittlebugs". (Google Images should show you pics of both.) Either of them can cause great damage to your plant, and will keep returning if you only hit them with water. I suggest a spray made with water and garlic (gallon of water, one whole garlic bulb; boil, strain, pour into spray bottle); spray the plant liberally every day, and you should see some improvement.
BTW, the mouse-like thing sounds like it may be a vole of some sort. Any rodents, however, can ruin a garden, so be careful.
Reply:Bill Clinton??? hahahaa
Reply:I don't know what they're called. They may be some kind of psyllid. But, they form a kind of fuzzy shell and cling to plants. The shell also protects them from insecticides. Spray them off with a high-pressure spray (not enough to harm the plant) to knock them off and then spray the plant with a general insecticide. If you want to stay organic, use a very diluted solution of dishwashing soap and water (a tablespoon per gallon or so). If they come back, do it again.
Reply:They are some kind of spider or bug. But I don't know the name of them. I have them too. I live in CA Central Valley where it gets really hot too.
Reply:oh my gosh!!!!! how could u do that to such an innocent plant??? i would just go ahead and kill it now than to let it suffer through whatever its going through!!!!! how awful!!!! how would u feel if i did that to u???!!!!! poor plant!!!! i should call floral services on u!!!!!! shame!!!! shame!!!!

Does rosemary oil kill ticks?
Concerned about Lyme Disease. Looking to rid pine trees in yard of harmful ticks. Do not live near deer, should I bother having trees sprayed with rosemary oil?
Does rosemary oil kill ticks?
I have done some research and the could not find any good natural answers . A good site I cannot remember recommended only one non organic product which was pymethrins which is found in a lot of flea and tick products. I found a 36 percent concentrate and have been spraying every two to three week to control a tick problem that came with a pound puppy we adopted. It works fairly well at higher strengths as recommended on the label.
Reply:Rosemary oil won't kill them. You can keep them away by using lemon euculyptus on your body. For keeping them out of the yard best thing is keep the grass cut short and don't have standing water or put out bird seed which attract not only birds but deer. Both critters carry ticks along with some rodents.
If you have only pine trees is your yard I wouldn't worry much. Ticks don't get up in the trees. They stay close to the ground mostly in shrubs, brush and plants like blackberry vines and honeysuckle. They want to be in plants that attract mammals and are low to the ground so they can drop onto the host animal.
Reply:No, it doesn't work very well. The best thing to do is wear long sleeved shirts and pants, tuck your pants into your boots, and wear a hat. Check yourself when you get home, it takes a while for Lyme disease to enter the bloodstream.
