Georgian pecan-crusted trout

Georgian pecan-crusted trout

Most restaurants here in Georgia that profess to have a “Southern” flair will have some variation of Georgian trout on the menu. First of all, it’s local. Secondly, there’s something uber-Georgian about the combination of sweet pecans grown here in the state and trout...
