Dining room at the Hungry Trout.
As the name suggests, the signature items on the menu are trout-based -- the current menu lists a smoked trout appetizer with horseradish as a first course and four trout entrees:
Roasted trout with lemon-caper butter
Campfire pan-seared roasted trout
Trout Grand Marnier
Pan-fried trout
If you’re a trout fan, you’ve arrived at the doorstep of trout Nirvana. We have friends who won’t order trout anywhere but here. It’s like flying Business Class; you can't go back to Economy once you’ve flown up-front.
Making culinary magic at the Hungry Trout.
Non-trout fanciers worry not; There are delicious alternatives, including duck, free-range venison rib chops, ribeye and other steak cuts, and chicken and seafood pasta.
And if you’re seriously torn between two worlds, opt for the Adirondack Guide Platter -- half a Campfire Trout, grilled Venison Rib Chop, and Roast Duck with accompanying sauces.
