Wow. this guy Yani has it covered... from prized catches to bait.

This is going to be an awesome contest

Ok I put my recipe up, PB & J Whitefish.

Experimentation is the key to being a really good cook.

Sometimes we fail .....

While the Peanut Sauce is Awesome, the chocolate cranberry mole sauce was just too weird. I did eat it all tho.

Epic Fail ...... Chocolate Peanut Butter Smoked Yellowtail (fish from the summer, I was just experimenting)

IF IT MOVE IS EDIBLE? ;)

Question: for those who vote, do they have to try all the recipes for the flavor, or do they just vote for what sounds good, or do they vote for the biggest fish, the best photographs, or their favorite member? :confused:

The best would be a taste test which is unfeasible probably

Unless of course there was a Taste Off every 6 months or so. Chefs would cookup their recipes and attendees would vote for their favorites, maybe ranking their top 5 picks. Points added to deturmine winner.

yes :D

people will vote for who they want to win for different reasons, but the tastiest looking plate will very likely win.

Here is another popular chef "Sporting" :D the Bubba Blade.

:D:D:D

Its like SALMON BACON...

OK am I the only one who thinks that fish was not bled properly? I've noticed a huge difference in the quality of flesh and the amount of blood in the meat when instantly bled and iced for 24 hrs before fileting. Icing brings the remaining blood to the surface and most of it will come off with the skin after fileting. Otherwise you get oily very gamey tasting fish. I've had yellowtail that I iced for a day and it was comparable to sushi house himachi

Commercial fish aren't usually bled, just caught and tossed on ice

Right right. But he made it sound like wild caught fish are gamey. Not when handled properly though

Can we just have a Big BWE picnic/potluck at la jolla shores or some other park and have the cook off there.

Just when you thought you've tasted the best. THIS GUY SHOWS UP! MOOhahamoohahahahaaaaaaaa
