Breakfast Trout With Bacon

When you're out at the lake in the summer and the men have been early morning fishing, nothing tastes better than this. Yumm!!

Fry bacon in a large heavy skillet over medium heat until crisp and golden brown , about 15 minutes.

Drain on paper towels and set aside , reserving bacon fat in pan.

Rinse fish , then dredge in cornmeal and season both sides to taste with salt and pepper.

Add vegetable oil to the bacon fat , then heat pan over medium high heat until oil is hot.

Working in batches if necessary , fry fish in combined fat and oil on one side until skin is golden and crisp , about 5 minutes.

Carefully turn fish over and cook other side for 5 minutes more.

Serve garnished with bacon.
