Barbecued wild Lough Neagh brown trout with cucumber and fennel relish

Serves:: 4

This trout is a very special thing and I would safely say as close a flavour as your going to get from wild salmon which sadly is a no no these days. Cucumber and fennel are a perfect marriage to a great fish like this and you can make the relish well in advance to let the flavours develop so all you have to do is Barbeque the fish. I’d strongly recommend using a barbecue fish basket which allows the fish to be turned easily without it sticking to the bars.
