If you are fishing alone, you are probably not. There is likely to be a loon working the dropoff beyond you, a great blue heron working the shoreline, and a bald eagle above you working both , plus your in between depth.. There was. It was beautiful.
I used a fly rod. they didn't. It was bluegills I caught. Nice ones.
From what I could see, I caught more than they did. A great day for Homo Sapiens.
They eat them raw. I don't. This time I cooked them with a cracker crumb breading in canola oil in a black cast iron pan. I seasoned the breading with black pepper, crushed red pepper, granulated garlic, parsley and dillweed.
We enjoyed them equally.
About Me
- Captain Cook
- A chef by trade, I had a restaurant and bar in the jeweled lake country of Mn for 20 years. A terrifying, yet rewarding endeavor. I remain interested and passionate about food and consider eating to be the ultimate existential experience; we must eat to live, and since we must eat, let us eat well. As the Captain, I explore the world of food at my doorstep, at your doorstep, and beyond the doorsteps of the many cafe's and restaurants of this exquisite Mn lake country. It is a picnic. I remain the Captain because I have no choice. Food has chosen me. I'll tell you about it. I also write a guest column for a local newspaper,the Mille Lacs Messenger, do a food piece for their quarterly magazine, the Compass,and write about outdoor food for Mn Outdoor News and Lake Country Journal magazine. I also teach occasional cooking classes. All food is outdoor food, or should be.
