🧑‍🍳 I have gotten a lot of great recipes on here!

A friend just dropped off a 23" black bass...that's for supper.

Now to how ...

Largemouth or sea?

 

[TerryP]

Largemouth

 

[Krimson]

Little big for the best eating imo. Maybe blackened.

Shaved, dried Puya with a clove of garlic and olive oil...butter. Fried, 4 on skin, 2 on flesh.

Dressed/topped with Dijon, Diakon radish, and carrots...julienning.

The "crunch" set it off

Sounds good. If I eat bass, which is seldom, I'll keep 12 to 14 inch fish for eating. 23" should've been been about 6 or 7 lbs.

4, maybe...give or take a bit. The bass are just "waking up" in the reservoir. A friend of mine was out off the dock this morning trying to find the beds of crappie. He's found one. We're moving the tri-toon from salt to fresh in the next few days to fish the reservoir. It's about a 10' bike ride. I'll be "out" for an hour or two every morning for a few weeks...LOVE this time of the year.

I'll put 50 or so quarts of crappie in the freezer in about a month. Just when they are getting hand size. Bass? It's sport.

EDIT: Catfish? I'll have twice that by June.

Man y'all have some skinny fish. Should be really close to spawn time, I definitely don't keep any then. I'll eat crappie my folks catch but I don't like fishing for them. Crappie and catfishing are drinking sports where bass fishing is a bit more serious for me.

Exactly. The crappie beds are 10' from here. I go there in the morning on my 'breaks from work' just to throw 'em back. It's a good sandwich in my world ... you haven't had my tartar sauce.

Skinny? Yeah, that was. She cleaned to 1/2" filets. I'm good with that.

A baked catfish filet, topped with my tartar, on a Hawaiin bun? I have a Sriracha Mayo I made as an ALT...

Wife isn't a huge fish fan but she tried parmesan/Panko encrusted tripletail and we had to go back the next day. I'm not a Panko fan but this was a very light coating, not like a tonkatsu. Something I'll have to play with to try to recreate but l bet she won't ever like it as much as she did theirs.

Been on a ceviche, poke run lately. I know I'll soon be away from really fresh seafood i guess.

My heart bleeds with you.

I have been in the food industry. This does happen.

While funny, her "mom" sounds 100% AI.

most are, now a day. Still, it's worth a laugh. We gotta take a min and remember some things aren't serious.

 

[TerryP]

This is a "oh shit. Yeah."

 

[Krimson]

This is a "oh shit. Yeah."

I'd try that

 

[TerryP]

Oh, I'm going to try this one. I'm still a little up in the air on what to pair. I haven't "Grok'd" it or looked up a recipe...the thing that throws me a bit is that looks like molasses. I'm not adverse to that: all the time.

I'm processing.

IF it's molasses, that would lead me to a spicy sausage as the meat filler. I can't pull the name off the top of my head (being it feels like a cartoon anvil today.) I want to say it's a Polish sausage that I'm "tasting" in my 'mouth's eye.'

Maybe a Chaurice on the spicy side?

Heres where I'm at, right now. (I'm doing a Chicken Fajita pizza in a bit so this is a tomorrow, or weekend thing...yeah, homemade, dough arisin'!)

A steak filling with Jasmine ... spice to taste.
Lobster Mac and Cheese?

That'll look like shit on a plate...but if I use bowls and chopsticks?

My stomach/imagination says "greens." But again, it's not a plate dish...

The presentation would SUCK on a plate...but.

Processing ...

This is a "oh shit. Yeah."

Yes! I would try it.

I made a meat loaf the other day. It was very good to. Sorry I forgot to take a photo of it. With home made mash potatoes too, and biscuits.

Every once in awhile I get in the mood. But, it's not traditional.

I LOVE a meatloaf sandwich with a thick slice of a red onion and mayo. If tomatoes are in season? I'll add them.

It's an "over the sink" sandwich I came across reading the Alex Delaware series written by ... shit, Kellerman. Common first name...that I'm forgetting.
