2. Prepare Trout: Rinse each trout under cold water, then dredge them in yellow cornmeal. Season both sides of the trout generously with salt and pepper.

3. Heat Oil: Add vegetable oil to the skillet with the reserved bacon fat. Heat the skillet over medium-high heat until the oil is hot and shimmering.

4. Fry Trout: Carefully place the dredged trout into the hot oil and bacon fat mixture. Fry the trout on one side until the skin becomes golden and crisp, approximately 5 minutes. If needed, work in batches to avoid overcrowding the skillet.

5. Flip and Cook: Carefully turn the trout over using a spatula. Continue cooking the trout on the other side for an additional 5 minutes, or until the fish is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.

6. Serve: Transfer the cooked trout to serving plates. Garnish each trout with the reserved crispy bacon.

Serving Suggestions:

• Serve hot alongside fresh seasonal fruits or a light salad for a complete breakfast experience.
• Pair with a side of scrambled eggs or toast to complement the flavors of the crispy bacon and tender trout.
