Saltwater Fishing Along With The Results

January 22nd, 2012 Posted in Outdoor

I don’t get pleasure from saltwater fishing nonetheless I do appreciate the results. Do you understand what I mean? The celebration that comes after… I don’t mind that I have to cook the food afterward providing it’s my hubby and my son who do the dirty work of retrieving those fish out of the big ocean.

Obviously, buying fish from the grocery store is easier than catching them in the ocean, but if I did, my men wouldn’t be able to bond with each other all day. Hopefully they’ll continue this tradition for as long as they live. I have this anxiety that after my son turns into a man, they will both be spending the evening in bars, ingesting and checking out women; get home at daybreak and snooze the whole morning. Goodness!

If this happens, at least, I have the saltwater day fishing and cooking memories.

When they go out for ocean day fishing, I get out of bed at 4 a.m., brew them coffee, prepare their equipment, clean and cut up their baits, and place them on their fishing boxes. I place the java in their thermoses and prepare a sandwich they can take on the water with them. I don’t mind getting out of bed early for my boys. It’s the best part of my day, basically, realizing that I am taking care of them. Occasionally, they forget to thank me, and that’s okay.

Then it’s time for their ocean fishing and I’m left at home for housekeeping. Later on, I get lunch ready and then, I rummage through my refrigerator, picturing what I could do with their freshly caught fish. Oh, the thrill of ocean fishing for them and for me.

Say, they got me an American Shad. Oh, stew! I remove the intestines, which may be used for something else. Brush off the scales, cut it up, put the pieces in a pot with water, onions, garlic, tomatoes, green peppers and spices. Complement it with mashed potatoes and viola! Excellence.

What if they hooked a sea trout from saltwater fishing? Because it appears to be wonderful exactly the way it is, steamed fish! I clean the fish up, rub the body with spices, cut the stomach and place in the seasonings. Once its cooked, I pour on the marinade made from butter, cream, lime zest and some chili.

A snapper is great for fillet. Cut it in fillet cuts, dip the pieces in egg with pepper and salt, cover with flour and deep fry in a pan. For the most perfect marinade, mix white vinegar, sugar and ketchup and let it boil.
