Smoked Trout

[gemfyre]

I splurged and bought a smoked trout to add to a risotto.

Is there anything I can do with the leftover skin and bones? Apart from throwing it in the bin.

I don't know about the skin, but you could use the bones to make a fish stock, or at least save them until you get some more bones to make stock.

I was about to suggest the same thing as the previous commenter. Put it in a ziploc freezer bag and freeze it until you have more fishbones and such to make your own fish stock.

I have to disagree with the previous commenters--I don't think using bones from smoked fish in a stock would be a good idea. It's likely to taste very odd.

It'll have to be the bin, I think.

what do I know

I say stock, regardless of smokiness.
Then add rice and chopped brisket. :-)
OR you could use it to cook boudin.

Also...accra. sort of a hushpuppy with preserved cod.
Yum!
