    I served this butter with grilled halibut instead of trout. Scrumptious! Will definitely make this again.

    This was the recipe that tempted me to try. We now love grilled whole fish. My grillmaster husband even asked that we buy a fish basket after our first try. This is an excellent recipe and wouldn't bother with the butter on the skin - just serve with the fish fillet!

    I grilled 3 trout (1 per person); cooking instructions were spot on. There was plenty of green goddess butter for the fish and some roasted vegetables as well. The trout skin did not stay crisp, so spooning the butter onto the skin didn't really make sense, as we wanted it on the meat, so I won't bother with that again, but will just serve the butter on the side. The fish and butter were just delicious.
