1/2 teaspoon fresh dill -- finely chopped
Salt and pepper -- to taste
2 tablespoons bacon drippings
1 medium onion -- chopped
1/2 cup chopped celery
1 cup sliced mushrooms

8 thin slices lemon

PANTRY: 1 TROUT: (4- to 5-pound) fresh sea trout, with head on, or 4 small
trout (2/3 to 3/4 pound each)

Preheat the grill.

Wash and drain the fish. Sprinkle the outside and inside of the trout with the
dill, salt, and pepper. In a medium skillet, heat the bacon fat, add the
onion, celery, and mushrooms, and saute until soft. Add the cornbread, olives,
sour cream, and melted butter. If necessary moisten with water slightly to
make the stuffing hold together. Stuff the cavity of the fish with the mixture
and close securely. Arrange 4 lemon slices on each side of fish. Place trout
in oiled fish basket. Place basket on grill and cook until done, 10 minutes
per inch of thickness, including stuffing, or about 15 minutes per side. Or
place the fish in 2 greased rectangular baking pans, garnish the fish with
lemons, and bake at 400 degrees for 10 minutes per inch of thickness,
including stuffing, about 15 to 20 minutes.Yield: 4 servings
