You should be able to purchase a whole trout already eviscerated and scales removed from your local fish market. If you are unsure, there is no shame in asking the person at the counter if the fish has already been “cleaned”.
If it has not, ask them kindly to clean it for you if you are not up to the task.
Once you get your fish home, giving it a quick rinse before getting the rest of your ingredients finalized is never a bad idea.[nextpagelink][/nextpagelink]
