smoked trout
#7
[cool]Thanks, if that was meant as a compliment. I probably resemble Hemingway more in girth than in prose. As I become more passionate about the food part of writing, Im liable to work my way up to Pavarotti...in size.

Actually, I have been playing with seafood recipes since my early days as a deckhand on sportsfishers and partner on commercial boats in my younger years. I learned the subtle differences in fish flesh and how to get the most out of it without overcooking or owerpowering it. I ended up being the single dad of three fish-loving kids, so I also had to be good at the fillet board as well as at the stove. My kids still brag that they never got a bone in any fish that dad filleted.

Once upon a time, long long ago, in the years before I became "TubeDude", I actually penned a book about Utah fishies..."Fetchin' and Fixin' The Fishes of Utah". It was a response to a lot of Utah troutaholics just discovering the warm water species in the state and wanting help on how to harvest and prepare them. I had been putting on some freebie seminars, for one of the local tackletoriums, and began by printing photocopies of some of the recipes I served, and it got out of hand.

I'd like to say that the book was an overwhelming success. I'd like to. But, it was hardly even a whelming success. Fishermen don't buy what they can get for free...or what they think they already know. The book did sell out of a small printing and then the publisher went into politics and sold off the presses. I have about three copies left, and I suppose the rest have long since been burned after failing to sell at garage sales.
