Looking a Little Fishy
This last week I finally did my part to clean out the freezer. I cooked some fish. My coworker Mr. Fudd, who is anticipating getting his limit in the Spicer Lake deer control hunt, has promised me a deer should he get more than one. Of course he says that every year and so far I've gotten zilch. However this year I'm feeling lucky. I found not one but two pennies in the parking lot and I did win that gift card. The fish in this story were all caught at different times. With a family of 5, bringing a single fish home meant having at least 4 unhappy people thus he gifted them to me. So I had 3 blocks of ice in my freezer taking up space. They were field dressed (gutted but not filleted or skinned) so they might be a little off putting to some. There were 2 rainbow trout and a brown trout. They were so pretty before cooking and afterwards they were very tasty!
Next to be eliminated from the freezer are some packages of soup bones - both beef and turkey. This week will be soup week!

I can almost taste the yumminess!
They were so good! It was worth the trouble of picking through the bones!!
They are nicely colored.
Trout are pretty fish and tasty too!
I can't have trout now, but they used to be a favorite. I had a friend who had a trout pond that he used for his restaurant -- every once in a while he'd bring me a fish -- those were special days!
The gift of a trout is a true sign of friendship! I'm lucky to have a coworker that likes to fish and is kind enough to share on occasion!
Sorry I wasn't around but would HAVE to put a napkin over the head with those eyes looking at me while eating....had to do that when expecting you and we went out to dinner with your grandparents in Muncie....could never eat anything looking back up at me!!!
I guess I'm too much a carnivore - I haven't met a fish I didn't like and so far there isn't any meat I won't eat. Although bear was a little too greasy and stringy for my tastes. I still remember the horse meat we had in Detroit. I liked it...
