Guest TheRealSaltwaterFisherman Report post Posted March 31, 2015 You should have seen the steelhead I reeled in 3 fortnights ago. I was fishin out near Japan and I heard this rattle under my dinghy and is red laser flashing around. Next thing I see is a Japanese robot shark experiment created with an actually steel head with a laser attached to it. I dive in to grab this thing and pull it onto my dinghy and that thing would not quit. After about 32 hours of underwater tussling the managed to drag it back to land. Long story short, the Japanese secret service is after me.Woah! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

arvey 154 Report post Posted March 31, 2015 not sure if you'll like this . I debone mine then I stuff it with shrimp , maybe a little crushed cracker , some chopped up green onion , garlic butter or garlic salt or you could try some lemon pepper what ever spices you like. wrap in foil and bake or bb. when I debone the fish opens up and I fill the belly .

Foozer 194 Report post Posted March 31, 2015 I like to bbq some bacon wrapped strips of rainbows for appetizers. Or, beer battered pieces. I usually make the pieces a little smaller to help eliminate some of the fishy flavor. Or, fry in oil on a cast iron skillet, skin side down, with fresh ground pepper and lemon slices. Or, a nice 3 - 4 lb fish in the smoker. Nothing fancy for this guy, just delicious fresh fish. Quote Since we can not call female anglers "fisherman" We should just call 'em hookers.....

Mikeman 0 Report post Posted March 31, 2015 Filet fish, remove rib bones and the side bones. Remove skin and then cut out the lateral line and any belly fat. Cut fish into 4" pieces and cover with original Shake and Bake. Place in Oven at 325 for 15-20 minutes, no more. Serve with seafood sauce and lemon. Works great on any large fish.

Guest 2112 Report post Posted April 1, 2015 walmart is selling Steelhead in bags of 9 fillets for 25 bucks. they are pretty decent. as for recipe, garlic, salt, pepper. fry in butter do most of the cooking skin side down so you can eat those tasty scales too! Does anyone else like to save the crispy skin until the end and then roll it up and eat it? i friggen love it! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
arvey 154 Report post Posted April 1, 2015 it also makes great salt fish. lay 1 fillet skin down sprinkle with coarse salt and then brown sugar do the same with your next fillet laying it on top of the other skin side down. cover your cake dish with saran wrap refrigerate for 48 hrs. you may have to drain off some juice. when ready slice real thin on rye bread with some green onion. this is great with fresh caught trout or salmon.

fishman1 164 Report post Posted April 1, 2015 The only problem with shake and bake is you can't taste anything but the coating. Far too overpowering and salty. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

unbedable 16 Report post Posted April 2, 2015 The mouth of Ishkabibble just opened last week and was able to cast some spoons. Tricked this fella! As for recipes, I enjoy the smoker. But only for store-bought. I've kept wild in the past and won't ever again; the consistency wasn't the same, taste was off. I used to be greedy and keep them as I thought I needed the roe, and wouldn't enjoy the meal. That has changed - a picture and release is for me. Not on a high horse at all, it is within regulations, but take note of the great fishery within the Thunder Bay area we have, and use a mindful conservation/ethical approach please After seeing the imploding/ social explosion of the rivers in BC, I miss the seclusion and beauty of our rural AND urban fishery.
