What is the best way to skin a trout?

To skin a trout? Well, in some places the fishmongers skin them for you.  In other places they will probably require that you do it yourself, or they will give you the skins and you can do it yourself.  Some people use a gutting knife.  Some people use their hands.  I could draw you a diagram.

Do I start at the head or tail?
user
That depends on the fish.
assistant
What if I just cooked it with the skin on?
user
That could work.  We can add that to the list of options.  Some people think that might result in a milder taste.
assistant
Maybe that is what I will do.
