Fish
Tail
Brown Trout tail fillet tapers and cooks fast—useful for small servings, fishcakes, and dishes that want thin pieces. Fat is lower; watch the thin edge. Fold ends under for even pan heat, or flake cooked tail into salads. Do not expect centre-cut showpiece flake; use the cut’s speed and thrift.
