rps Posted June 5, 2017 Posted June 5, 2017 My invited dinner guest for tonight: He will become fish burgers that I will serve with a spicy strawberry salsa and a side of pan roasted baby carrots. If i invite you for dinner, ask what I plan for the menu before you show up. ness, BilletHead and Johnsfolly 3
MOPanfisher Posted June 5, 2017 Posted June 5, 2017 Lol, I wouldnt be skeered, you would need a BIG skillet. Very nice of your to invite that wally feller to supper though. Maybe I should do more inviting instead of trying to force them.

MOPanfisher Posted June 6, 2017 Posted June 6, 2017 My blackberries I planted last year have a few on them, but are still fairly small and green. Seems like I remember blackberries always ripening when it was miserable hot and there were lots of chiggers and skeeters. Always had to carry a big knife to cut my way out of the patch, and smoking a big nasty cigar later helped with the skeeters. Looking forward to picking thornless ones, if I am able. Terrierman 1

They're in a fence row. I mow right up to them. Stickers are enough, no need to add chiggers and ticks. grizwilson 1

I love the fruit salsas. Used to make a mango salsa for fish, but haven't in a while and have forgotten what all was in it. Probably just like above. John
BilletHead Posted June 6, 2017 Posted June 6, 2017 Just like RPS did a few days back Mrs. BilletHead and I went fishing and decided to invite fish home for a meal. Haters get ready we will be grilling black Bass ! Trucked over to our favorite irrigation lake and launched the kayaks into the pretty stiff breeze fly rods in hand. We fished the same section of shore line Curtisce and I did yesterday but with more wind today. We even had white caps forming before we quit and took a few splashes over the side of the yaks. We caught a bunch and I strung up the first four I landed. Weighed the stringer and the four totaled fourteen pounds. I assure you we even threw bigger fish back during our outing. The owner keeps fish they catch and encourages us to do the same. We will keep fish maybe twice a fishing season. Filleted the four of them two will be todays meal and two with be vacuum sealed for another time. This will be cooked over charcoal and wood in a basket. A touch of S&P olive oil and rosemary. Throw the basket on the grill, When the dripping oil flares up put on the lid and let it smoke. As the translucent meat begins to turn opaque flip the meat and repeat, Does not take long. Side of fingerling boiled potatoes with a dab of butter on them, a small side salad and some toasted bread. Wanted it simple as the star is the grilled fish. . The thicker the fish fillet is the better it is. For those of you that claim bass does not taste good you just do not know how to cook fish. I will stand by this. Some bread and fry thin crappie to where you are eating and tasting nothing but the fried batter. You eat fish to taste fish not breading. I have also done this with hybrids and walleye. We cooked some braised squirrel aurora for a couple evening meals when the Mrs. gets home late, BilletHead ness, Johnsfolly, Walleyedmike and 4 others 7 "We have met the enemy and it is us", Pogo If you compete with your fellow anglers, you become their competitor, If you help them you become their friend" Lefty Kreh " Never display your knowledge, you only share it" Lefty Kreh "Eat more bass and there will be more room for walleye to grow!"
