Brithyll a chig moch (Welsh trout & bacon)

fresh rosemary, loosely chopped
fresh thyme, loosely chopped
fresh parsley, loosely chopped
fresh sage, loosely chopped
butter to taste
1 rainbow trout per person, cleaned, head and tail left on
1 long rasher of bacon per person

Combine rosemary, thyme, parsley, and sage; blend with a little butter and stuff fish. Wrap each fish in a rasher of bacon, then in foil. Bake in a hot oven for around 25-30 minutes. Open foil and paint fish with a little butter. Serve with boiled potatoes and plain fresh vegetables.

Adapted from: Anthony Crowter, Cae Nest Hall Hotel, Llanbedr Merionnydd, N. Wales, who notes that this dish is traditionally baked in an open fire with the fish encased in mud.
