Hungry... well, you will be.

My wife got a new camera, and she's getting better at presentations... She sees a picture in a book or on the web, she wants to make it. Then takes pictures, and of course, I have a snack to go with my afternoon beer.

Canon powershot S95, sub $300 camera. Lighting...too simple....

just a dinning room chandelier with 60 watt bulbs.

And that was squid, not octopus.

Getting back at it.

So the other day I got my first Striped bass keeper, and I really never kept them. But the wife got addicted to getting fresh fish, so I brought one home.

And after cleaning it and filleting it, I just had to do the first thing I wanted to do...

Sashimi.

Sliced up half a fillet, and I went to town. OMG...it was perfect, it was almost as good as blackfish sashimi, and 3 times better than porgy sashimi.

The next day, when I got home. The wife made up some striped bass Carpaccio... with one fillet...and after eating it, I wanted to gobble down the last part of the fish...but one fillet was actually enough...for a meal for two. A white wine from New Zealand, Oyster Bay, went with it perfectly.

The the last of the fish, the wife breaded it with some egg and flour, fried it lightly, and baked it to finish cooking it...made her own tartar sauce...and I think I will be going after stripers with the intent of having a good meal once or 3 times a week.

For Easter, she made some sushi...

This will be a new tradition in my house.

Where are you pulling the strippers out of?

 

[TurboMirage]

how much money do you think you save by catching your own fish as opposed to buying it, not so fresh, from the store?

 

[Airjockie]

Where are you pulling the strippers out of?

The Long Island Sound, the migration has came, these are the ones that are coming from NY/down south. In about a week or two...the big girls will be here.

how much money do you think you save by catching your own fish as opposed to buying it, not so fresh, from the store?

Not so fresh fish now, or prev-frozen/frozen fish...just won't cut it for me. Cost effectiveness...gas/bait, time, fun.... way cheaper and gives you a better feeling.
