The Rainbow Trout was fried, separated from the bone, and placed on a long elevated board on our table. It was a fantastic presentation! There were a lot of boneless fish segments that I absolutely LOVED. I've never had fried fish that was so well done. It wasn't too fried with any batter left on the fish at all and yet the meat inside was firm and tasty. Amazing! It also came with three types of sauces: green curry Aioli, Vietnamese nahm jim, and soy glaze. Yum!
