Can someone tell me how to blacken redfish. I tried a recipe that called for searing it for 2 minutes on each side. I got my skillet white hot and seared them for 2 minutes on each side. They were a bit undercooked on inside and overcooked on outside. Can I cook the fillets in the oven a few minutes and then maybe finish them off in the black skillet. Thanks

This looks like a heart attack waiting to happen-got to try it. May be camp food or pre hunt meal.

Handmade ground beef patties, topped with sharp cheddar cheese, wrapped in a bacon weave, then the next step, add hotdogs as the heads, legs with slits for toes and tail.

Next step. Place on an oven rack, covered loosely with foil and baked for 20-30 minutes at 400 degrees. A little.... Read More

Well I was out for a hike the other day with my dog and was walking along when I spotted a Golden Chantrell mushroom. Chantrelles are some of the most highly prized of all wild mushrooms for their flavor. CAUTION: Before harvesting ANY mushroom to eat extreme caution must be used in the identification, I suggest getting a good mushroom ID book like the one put out by the Audubon Society and.... Read More

just curious, what other additions (proteins) do you add to crawfish,shrimp and crab boils. I know everyone adds sausage to the boils but anything else? I have added a pork loin to the water and it came out great. Anyone tried catfish filets?

Well the smokehouse is really coming together. My dad and I have been working on it in the afternoons after work for the last few days. All we got left is to build a door and put some more wood strips here and there to seal it up. Then we gotta install a firebox on the side and put some vents and dampers. hopefully by this time next weekend it will be complete.

I remember a few years ago in the LA Sportsman mag there was an article about a guy from La that moved to Maine. No crawfish there, so he boiled, not steamed, lobsters like we boil crawfish. Well, I lost the recipe. I had tried it once and it was awesome. Anyone that remembers that recipe or has one like it, please share. Thanks.
