do you mind if I ask what your recipe is?

Sure..here you go: Bon Apetite!!!!

Ingredients
4 ounces bacon, diced
1 large onion, finely chopped
1 leek, white and light green parts only, minced
2 teaspoons minced garlic
4 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1 1/2 teaspoons fresh thyme leaves
1 cup dry white wine
6 cups fish broth or bottled clam juice
1 bay leaf
1 1/2 pounds baking potatoes, peeled and cut into 1/2-inch cubes (about 4 cups or 2 large potatoes)
2 cups milk
1 cup heavy cream
Salt and freshly ground white pepper
1 1/2 pounds cod fillets, skinless and boneless, cut into 1-inch cubes
1 tablespoon finely chopped parsley leaves, for garnish
Butter, for garnishing bowls
Directions
In a large saucepan over high heat, cook the bacon until the fat has rendered and the bacon is beginning to caramelize around the edges, 3 to 4 minutes. Add the onion and leek and cook, stirring frequently, until the vegetables are tender, 4 to 6 minutes. Add the garlic and cook for 1minute, stirring. Add the flour and thyme and cook, stirring, until the flour is very light golden, about 2 minutes. Add the white wine and whisk to combine. Add the fish broth, bay leaf and potatoes and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to a simmer and cook, stirring occasionally, until the potatoes are very tender, 20 to 30 minutes. Add the milk and cream and cook for 10 minutes. Season, to taste, with salt and pepper. Add the cod, return the soup to a simmer, and cook until the fish is just cooked through, 1 to 2 minutes. Serve immediately in shallow bowls, each garnished with a pinch of parsley and a pat of butter

Cusk Fish Cakes: Recipe to follow pic

[img]http://i621.photobucket.com/albums/tt294/monstermash_01/SDC10894.jpg[/img

-          Use Cusk or Cod-16 ounces of fillets.

-          Pour fish in a big pot, add water and refrigerate for 2 hours at least (to get rid of the salt if using Cod)

-          Cut up small onion (like the size pieces you use for subs.)

-          5-6 medium potatoes, peeled and cut in half

-          Drain water from cod and put more water in the pot.  Add the potatoes and boil together until potatoes are soft (but no too soft)

-          Mash potatoes and fish together

-          Add onions and 1 Tbs of milk and 2 Tbs of margarine

-          Let cool and add one egg

 

Make three bowls:

2 eggs whisked with milk
Flour or cornmeal mix
Breadcrumbs
 

Note on the bowls listed above:  you can use cornmeal or breadcrumbs but you don’t need both.

 

Make a patty, dip into the egg/milk, then flour and then egg again and into the breadcrumbs.

Fill frying pan with oil to cover the bottom of the pan

When oil is hot, put Patty’s in the oil and cook until browned on both sides.

When done, put on paper towels and drain oil a little.


Cheers & Tight Lines!!!

Do you think that the Baked Lake Trout recipe would work with haddock or cod as well? I am asking because I am positively salivating and seriously considering just running to the store for some fish :)

GraniteBass, I would hold off on buying any fish as I have a nice Laker for your plate........a nice fresh Laker ;) All ready for your oven...And no, haddock will not go well this one....well maybe, but I would tend to use a different recipe..dill is a bit too much overpowering for haddock. Maybe omit the stuffing and use a shrimp stuffing.....oh... that goes well in Lakers too...

Since I have lived in all but one state in the USA, I have a rather large collection of about 1000 F&G recipes. I am compiling them into a recipe book as we speak. Hopefully after my Colorado hunt next year, I will publish it.......

Next weeks recipe will be "Charcoal Cooked Pickerel" atop a brown rice bed and vegetable medley........

If you don't have a publisher and want to self publish, I would recommend checking lulu.com (http://lulu.com) out.

The moment your cookbook has an "Add to cart" button, I am pressing it :)

As for lakers, thanks a lot! I hope this weekend we will land some really really fresh ones in addition to the normally scheduled 500 pickerels  ;D

Skewered Cusk Kabobs:

Ingredients:
 
12 fresh or frozen Brussels sprouts
 
4 medium carrots, cut into 1 1/2-inch pieces
 
1 pound cusk or swordfish steaks
 
16- 1 1/2" French bread cubes
 
1/2 cup butter melted
 
1 tablespoon snipped parsley
 
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder

Dash ground red pepper.

How to make Cusk And Garlic Bread Kabobs:

Cut Brussels sprouts in half.

In a covered saucepan cook carrots in a small amount of boiling water for 3 minutes.
Add Brussels sprouts.

Return to boiling; reduce heat.

Cook, covered, about 7 minutes more or till nearly tender.
Drain.

Cut fish into 1-inch pieces.

For fish kabobs, use 2 long skewers or 4 short skewers and alternately thread Brussels sprouts, carrots, and fish, leaving about 1/4 inch of space between pieces.

For bread kabobs, use 2 long or 4 short skewers and thread bread cubes, leaving about 1/2 inch of space between pieces.
Combine butter or margarine, parsley, garlic, and pepper.

Place fish and bread kabobs on an non-greased rack of an unheated broiler pan.

Brush with half of the butter mixture.

Broil 4 inches from the heat till fish is done and bread is toasted, turning kabobs over once during broiling.
Brush kabobs with the remaining butter mixture before serving.

I use a tablespoon and hook the fish scales then turn upwards, works pretty slick. I found that removing the skin, detracts from the flavor. :)

The Serving:
(http://i621.photobucket.com/albums/tt294/monstermash_01/SDC11046.jpg)

Soak the Pickerel in whole milk for 24 hours, it dissolves the small bones.
Pre-heat oven 400*
Rub the inside of the fish with Too Tall Tom's Angler Camp Mix.
Melt 1/4 stick of butter and "drip" drawn butter the inside the fish.
Wrap in aluminum foil and bake for 15 minutes.
When cooked, flake the fish from the backbone, one side only.
Remove remaining fish by picking the backbone up and give it a quick snap. All the meat will fall right off.
Use remaining butter to "dip into."

Man of many talents.

He has. And it is free!  ;)

You go fishing with Dispy, next thing you know the propane stove is going and you are getting served a great meal. And we are not talking about warmed up hotdogs either, it is dishes you read about in this thread.

This past weekend my 4 year old told me that he was really tired and we should go home. As we were saying goodbye to the BIP gang, Dispy asked my son if he wanted some chili (elk chili that is). Naturally he said yes and we hung around a little more on the ice until Jr could stuff face. :)

And this was because at the previous trip Dispy fed him venison chili that he liked a lot as well.

Needless to say, I was a very self-sacrificing father and had to eat the leftovers  ;D

_Secret ingredient_
-(1) 11oz jar of Howard's Hot Pepper Relish- note to New Frontier-thanks ;)

Rinse beans. In a large Dutch oven combine beans and 7 cups of water. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer for 2-3 minutes. Remove from heat. Cover and let stand for 1 hour.

Drain and rinse beans. Return beans to Dutch oven. Stir in 7 cups of new water. Bring to a boil, reduce heat and simmer for 1 -1 /2 hours or until beans are tender. Stir occasionally. Drain beans and save the liquid!!!

In a 2 1/2 quart crock or casserole dish, combine beans, bacon and onion. Stir in 1 cup of the saved liquid and add Maple syrup, brown sugar, dry mustard, salt and pepper.

Bake, covering the crock in oven for 2 1/2 hours at 300*F. Stir occasionally, add more saved liquid if necessary.

***Dispy's Long Walk Granola Bars***

7 cups of oats (not instant) eg: Quaker regular oats
1 cup toasted wheat germ
3 cups of nuts (peanuts, sunflower seeds, almonds, pecans, etc.)
1 1/2 cup of Honey
1/2 cup of Canola Oil

Note: decrease to 1/2 cup of honey for looser consistency, as shown in the picture below. This is also an excellent substitute for gimmy's on a nice bowl of French Vanilla Ice Cream, of which I am about to eat now ;D

Melt honey and oil together in a roasting pan until bubbling.
Pour over dry mixture.
Mix thoroughly.
Place mix on two oiled cookie sheets.
Bake at 250*F for 1 hour.
Cool and slice into bar servings.

Oven baked Pickerel:
(http://i621.photobucket.com/albums/tt294/monstermash_01/SDC11045.jpg)

The Serving:
(http://i621.photobucket.com/albums/tt294/monstermash_01/SDC11046.jpg)

Soak the Pickerel in whole milk for 24 hours, it dissolves the small bones.
Pre-heat oven 400*
Rub the inside of the fish with Too Tall Tom's Angler Camp Mix.
Melt 1/4 stick of butter and "drip" drawn butter the inside the fish.
Wrap in aluminum foil and bake for 15 minutes.
When cooked, flake the fish from the backbone, one side only.
Remove remaining fish by picking the backbone up and give it a quick snap. All the meat will fall right off.
Use remaining butter to "dip into."
is this chain pickerel??

Indeed it is a chain pickerel, caught during the ice fishing season. A savory fish that rates up there with the elusive whitefish. Personally, I'd rather eat a slime dart over a trout any day, when prepared properly.  ;) Thanks for viewing.

I added some left over Swordfish from a previously posted recipe and substituted Hot Shot in place of Cayenne Pepper. Gives it a better zing if not using lobster. The trick here is to allow the mix to cool, then stuff your fish for baking or grilling. A good tip is to "pin back" the opening of the fish cavity to allow for a crusty stuffing, much like a turkey or game bird. Although it looks rough, it will brown nicely when baked and retain a nice and moist texture. This recipe can also be used in Christmas time Clams Casino and has been modified from my mother in-law's family recipe. Your feedback is welcomed and appreciated. The complete dinner will be served at 7:30 p.m. sharp. Bring your forks, a couch and pillow because you will not walk far after eating this one :o Pardon the poor quality of these picture as my good camera went for a swim yesterday.

Here is one we just made from a pickerel that we caught while fishing with Dispy:

Baked pickerel/pike with sourcream

Ingredients:

1 medium/large size pickerel or equivalent pike
1/2 gallon whole milk
smoked bacon according to the size of the fish
4-6 bigger potatoes, enough the cover the bottom of the baking dish
1/4 cup of sourcream
olive oil
salt, pepper, garlic powder

Preparation:

Clean the fish, remove the scales.
Put the fish in a container, cover with the whole milk and let it soak overnight.
The next day take it out, discard the milk.
Lightly cover the fish with some olive oil.
Salt, pepper and garlic powder the fish according to taste.
Cut slits into the fish (approximately every inch) and inserts the bacon into the slits.
Spread some sourcream over the fish
Slice the potatoes into circles, salt and pepper them and cover the bottom of the pan.
Pour some olive oil over the potatoes.
If it is a special day, put some sourcream over the potatoes as well  ;)
Put the fish on the potato bed.
Cover with an aluminum foil and bake in a 350 oven for half an hour.
Take the foil off and bake until the fish and bacon looks nice and crispy - around 20-30 more mins.

Fresh Poached Rainbows on English Muffins with Eggs:

    * 1 small yellow onion, halved
    * 8 teaspoons finely chopped onion
    * 1 bay leaf
    * 8 ounces skinless rainbow fillets, pin bones removed
    * 2 tablespoons low-fat mayonnaise
    * 2 teaspoons chopped fresh dill
    * 1 teaspoon dijon mustard
    * 1/2 teaspoon grated lemon peel
    * 4 slices French bread/ English muffins
    * 32 watercress leaves
    * 4 cherry tomatoes, cut into 4 slices each

In a medium skillet, combine the onion halves, bay leaf, and 3 cups of water over medium-high heat. Bring to a slow boil; add the fillets, reduce the heat to medium, and gently simmer for 12 to 14 minutes, or until the fish is opaque. Remove the fillet from the liquid and let it cool for 10 minutes. Discard the cooking liquid and remaining contents. Carefully flake or cut the fish into 16 pieces.

In a small bowl, combine the mayonnaise, dill, mustard, and lemon peel. Toast the bread slices and cut each slice twice on a diagonal into 4 triangles.

To assemble, place the bread triangles on a work surface. Top each with 2 watercress leaves, 1 tomato slice, 1 piece of the fillet, 1/2 teaspoon of the mayonnaise mixture, and 1/2 teaspoon of the chopped onion.

It's funny, because of ice fishing, I start working out again this time of year, do to all the food and beer/soda I eat and drink on the ice. Love meeting people on the ice and they are willing to share something they have made (ex. Tom's venison chili). I do the same when we have it. Love ice fishing, but hate listening to my doctor. So to keep him off my case, I try to work out a couple of times a week. Doesn't always work out that way though.

(http://i621.photobucket.com/albums/tt294/monstermash_01/venisonbackstraps_zps3d69a752.jpg)

2  lbs  venison tenderloins (a single deer loin or Moose or Elk or Pork or Beef)   
1/2 lb bacon (Plain, thin-sliced Bacon is best)   
3  cups dark brown sugar   
2  cups soy sauce (Regular NOT low-sodium. You'll want the saltiness)   
1/4 cup white sugar (Optional for added Sweetness)   


Directions:

1.  Mix brown Sugar and Soy sauce together in a bowl. They should combine nicely into a soupy soy liquid.

2.  Put Deer Loin in a cooking tray and pour Brown Sugar/Soy Sauce mixture over loin. Roll tenderloin over in mixture, completely covering it.

3.  Let meat marinate in mixture at least 3 hours or overnight in fridge. It's best to marinate for 8 hours if you have the time. Also GREAT to use a Food Saver or other Vacuum device to Vacuum pack/seal the meat with Marinade. With this method, you can achieve Overnight-level marinade in just a couple hours!

4. Remove loin from tray, and place on a slotted bake sheet with a drip pan or aluminum foil below to catch dripping. Don't throw away marinade.

5.  Wrap a piece of bacon around the very end of the tenderloin, securing the bacon strip with a toothpick.

6.  Repeat this process until the entire loin is wrapped in ten or so bacon "loops." The tenderloin should look like an arm with a bunch of wrist watches on it, the watches being the bacon strips.

7.  Drizzle remaining marinade over deer loin. You can continue to baste the loin with the marinade throughout the cooking process with either a brush or a turkey baster.

8.  Place on center rack in oven and bake at 350°F for 30-40* minutes. *This should cook the meat to about Medium. For those of you who prefer rare meat (like me), cut the time to 25-30 minutes and then follow with the "OPTION 2" step below regarding searing.

9.  OPTION 1 - with about 10 minutes of cooking time left, you can lightly dust the top of the loin with white sugar. This creates a sweet crust on top of the bacon. Might be too sweet for some. Try doing it on just HALF of the loin to see if you like it!

10.  OPTION 2 - For a crispier crust and crispier bacon, remove Loin from oven and place the Loin(s) directly on a Grill over medium-high heat to sear the bacon and outer loin. (Thanks to all of you reviewers who taught me this. It's a great step for those of us who like a cooked crust and a pink center).

11. Remove from oven and place on cutting board. Using a knife, cut the loin between each strip of bacon so that you have many pieces of meat, each with their own toothpick.

12.  You can eat these pieces directly from the toothpick or remove the toothpick and eat like steak. You can thank me later.

13. The next day, try the leftovers on a wheat bun with spicy BBQ Saucefor an awesome leftover sandwich.

Pulled BBQ Bear

Throw a couple of packages of bear steaks ( any meat will work ) in a crock pot on low for 8 hrs. Simmering in French Onion soup.

Drain and shred with a fork and put the BBQ sauce of your choice to it slap it on a bulky roll with cheese and pickles and call it good!

Awesome meal!

deer burger with a solid dose of lawrys, cut onions and peppers all cooked in the same pan as the scrambled burger and eaten in a sub roll.

I still eat those off the ice to this day and cant wait to do it again.

Those breakfast subs we made were awesome too.

This might be my favorite thread....here's a quick one you can try for an appetizer. None of my friends or family, other than my pops, really like seafood. They all like fried haddock at the local legion lol...yet none of them have had fresh fish and said they wouldnt try it. so I tricked them and hid the fish in bacon. Brush these with bbq sauce or garlic butter your choice. Can be made with any fish, I used walleye so that they could see the light  ;D they all tell me to go fishing more often now.  ::)

11. Remove from oven and place on cutting board. Using a knife, cut the loin between each strip of bacon so that you have many pieces of meat, each with their own toothpick.

12.  You can eat these pieces directly from the toothpick or remove the toothpick and eat like steak. You can thank me later.

13. The next day, try the leftovers on a wheat bun with spicy BBQ Saucefor an awesome leftover sandwich.
