    I love that this recipe is so simple and fast to pull together. I like to use uneaten leftover rainbow trout from dinner so I get as much use out of the fish as possible. With my husband fishing more and more this summer rainbow trout seems to be on the menu a lot lately.

    I saught out dip ideas after he came to me with the initial idea but unfortunately, every trout dip or rainbow trout dip recipe we found needed the meat to be presmoked or included several hours of instructions on smoking it in a grill or smoker at home. I'm impatient and we don't own a smoker.

    Thankfully I remembered we had a bottle of liquid smoke we hardly ever touch taking up space in the spice cabinet. And from that, this recipe was formed. It took a little tweaking but it's actually pretty great. Nice and subtle with a smokey kick at the end. I think you'll love this recipe for smoked trout dip.

    🍴 Recipe Tips

    This easy rainbow trout recipe doesn't need very many tips because it's so simple to make but I will tell you that cooked trout shreds beautifully with an electric mixer. Similar to shredding cooked chicken breasts only MUCH faster and easier since it naturally flakes apart.

    💭 FAQs

    Do I use smoked trout to make smoked trout dip?

    Normally yes, smoked trout dips are made using actual smoked fish, but not in this recipe! This one lets you use the baked or pan fried trout you may have in the fridge leftover from dinner or that 1 fish you caught but can't make a full meal out of.

    How long does smoked trout dip last?

    This dip lasts about 5 days in the fridge if you keep it well covered with plastic wrap or in an airtight container.

    Can you freeze smoked trout dip?

    Yes, surprise, you can! This trout dip is freezable for up to 3 months if stored in an airtight container. Just thaw overnight in the fridge and stir well before serving and eating.
