Catch em up and eat em up.

My favorite sea trout recipe. It will give you a grabber, but damn it is tasty:

2 whole Sea Trout filets, 6-8oz each, trimmed and boneless
2 tsp melted butter
Spinach Crust 2 shallots, finely diced
½ cup frozen spinach, chopped; thawed, drained and squeezed of excess moisture
1 cup softened cream cheese
¼ cup grated parmesan cheese
sea salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
1 cup lump crabmeat
1 cup shredded mozzarella and cheddar cheese
4 lemon wedges
Special Equipment 2 untreated western red cedar planks, 1x 12 x 10 inches, soaked in cold water for a minimum of 1 hour*.

Preheat grill to medium high.

Lay filets evenly onto plank, skin-side down. Brush each filet with melted butter, season with sea salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste, and set aside.

Place shallot, spinach, cream cheese, and parmesan cheese into a bowl and mix well. Season with sea salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste.

Divide spinach crust evenly onto fillets, gently pressing crust onto the fish to adhere. Top each spinach-crusted fillet with ½ cup of crabmeat. Season with sea salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste. Top each fillet with shredded mozzarella and cheddar cheese.

Place crusted trout on planks, onto grill and close the lid. Plank bake fish for 15-20 minutes, until trout is fully cooked, crust is golden brown and cheese is melted.

Carefully remove plank from grill, place onto a heat resistant, non-flammable surface, and serve immediately with lemon wedges.

Be a man. Fry it and serve with cheese grits.

You can probably cook the shrimp to add into the grits too.
