Now that pretty much explains it!No, there's plenty of meat, it's just that in addition to the usual spine, fins, and ribs, trout have several rows of pin bones.
So while you can just glide a knife over the ribs of most fish and get a sizeable fillet, trout are notoriously hard to get a fillet off of without it being full of pin bones and thus inedible. Thus I disapprove of any recipe that relies on trout fillet instead of using other means to debone it first.
