Mark, thank you. Sorry to hear your fishing horror story, I feel for you, it's just part of time on the water.

Sometimes one pole works a lot better than two. That said, I do use two sometimes. Sometimes they get tangled.

You will get yours very soon, this already is an awesome year for fishing.
When you do, try this BBQ recipe, it's awesome. I really want someone to try it and report back in before the end of the month.

See you out there. I be trying again at daybreak.

ctfphoto, as always you come up with some very innovative and delicious looking dishes. I almost don't want to vote for you for fear that if you win, you might stop posting your recipes!


Nice catch and great work in the kitchen. Thanks for taking the time to share your creations.

Sweet looking gyotaku as well.

Chris,

The smoked yellowtail with jelly and berry sauce looks insane.
Especially since I know that smoked yellowtail and a sweet
glaze pair so well together.

But the BBQ yellow with onions and tomatoes??? I got to try
that one.

I had a blast running into you and Mikey on the water yesterday.
Should be a great summer. Yani

dmrides, thank you for your comments, if I ever win this thing, I promise to post more recipes as I do enjoy it.

Yani, I had a awesome time fishing with you and Mikey, both of whom have already won this awesome contest. I learned quite a bit from you and I thank you for putting me on and giving me the opportunity to farm a large Lingcod ......

I also thank you for the tip on cooking and how tasty the the Sand Dabs are.

Sand Dab dipped in salted and peppered flour and then cooked in Olive Oil, Butter, White Onions and a Tomato



Remember to flip over for more super tasty meat .... There is way more meat that I expected.

Fished on June 19th with Yani and Mickey. No YT around so we went deep .....



Fish Sandwich

Fresh Rockfish Boneless Fillet
Tomato
Lettuce
Caramelized White Onion
Tarter Sauce
Fresh Roll

Prepare Tarter Sauce first and set aside to let the flavors infuse.

Mix together:

Mayonaise
Dill
Lime Juice
Relish, (I use a homemade zucchini relish made by the lady who gave me the BBQ recipe)
Ground Pepper
Rice Vinegar
Sour Cream

Heat oil to a high temperature
Prepare Fillet

I use a beer batter recipe that I have been working on for thirty years, I think I finally got it perfect.

Mix together Flour, Salt, Pepper, a little Garlic Powder, Dried Dill, Cayenne Pepper and pinch of Baking Powder

Separate flour mixture 3/4 in one bowl and 1/4 in the other.

Add egg and ice cold beer to the 1/4 mixture and whip until foamy.

Dip and cover the fresh fillet into the dry mixture first. Then dip and cover the floured fillet into the wet flour mixture and drop carefully into the hot oil. Cook until golden and flip until the other side is golden. Take out a place on bed of pepper towels and pat the excess oil off. Build Sandwich. Eat the best tasting fish sandwich ever.



Fish On, Chris
