Okay I'll get the ball rolling for June. I normally don't fish for barracuda, but for a change of pace decided to drive up north to the NCZ to fish with a few of the guys up there - Anacapa Bob, Autrout and Falcon.

Long drive and then a long paddle -- about 2 miles out to get to the fishing grounds and then trolling rapalas for hungry cuda.




8 serving size fillets per fish. Making sure all the red meat is gone and then cutting the fillets into bite size nuggets.


Breaded in cornmeal, ritz crackers and spices and then quickly fried. The end result was pretty tasty. My wife said she liked it better than halibut!
Washed down with some Ballast Point Black Marlin porter.

Nice work! That photo of the meat is exactly why I love Cuda'. If you take care of it properly, straight up awesome eats!

Working my way through the cuda in the fridge. Tonight we tried broiled barracuda on glass noodle veggie stir fry with spicy yellow pepper sauce. It was unbelievably good.







The spicy yellow pepper sauce would go great with yellowtail so I thought I'd share the recipe...

2 yellow bell peppers charred, seeded and chopped
2 yellow chili peppers charred, seeded and chopped
7 roasted garlic cloves
1 teaspoon dijon mustard
1 tablespoon honey
1 tablespoon tumeric
1/3 cup rice wine vinegar
3/4 cup olive oil
salt, freshly ground black pepper and cayenne pepper to taste
throw it in a blender and blend until smooth

Old Fashioned Lakeside BBQ Fish (Yellowtail)

Friday June 13th Full Moon. Perfect day at the Jewel. Caught my Personal Best Yellowtail at 33 pounds on a greenback at 10:30 am.





I decided to give away most of the fish to family and friends. In return, two of the recipients of my recent catch gave back recipes that I tried and will try. Here is the first of the two:

One thing I want to say about this recipe is it is for almost anyone, that is, it doesn't taste like fish. Even for fish eaters, you don't get that I'm tired of fish right now feeling even while eating an great fish recipe. The dish looks like BBQ ribs.

This recipe comes from Lakeside, ya know horses and cows. They like their Beef and BBQ and this is one awesome BBQ Fish Recipe. This very simple but super delicious recipe has been handed down through 4 generations of Laksidians.

Old Fashioned Lakeside BBQ Fish (Yellowtail)

Fresh Yellowtail fillet
Vine Ripe Tomatoes
White Onion
BBQ Sauce

I tried to addd more ingredients such as Lime and cilantro but my wife refused as it was her friend's family recipe. She finally agreed to salt and pepper, but I forgot it anyway, lol

Cut the fillet and stuff with white onions and tomatoes



Cover but don't drench the fillet
with your favorite BBQ sauce



Fire up the grill preferable with smoke chips
Cook in a foil boat, no need to flip.



Ready when flaky.

Sure this ain't no bbq ribs? ...



That's my wife's hand in the above dish. I couldn't even get a good photo of the food by itself as she nor I could stop eating this wonderfully smokey bbq flavored fish. It never made it to a plate, we just ate it all right there on the counter.

That's not a bone, it's a white onion.




Add Ice Cold Beer ....





>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>


I always cut every last scrap off the fish and smoke it. I have been experimenting with different sauces to bring variety to my cooking. Here are two new ones, both of which, taste fantastic:


Smoked Yellowtail topped with Apricot Jelly and Fresh (slightly cooked) Blueberries in Sauce

Spread Apricot Jelly on Freshly Smoked Yellowtail

Cook and mash a few Blue Berries with Lime juice and Sugar and a little corn starch. Cook in microwave and stir. And some berries and microwave longer and then stir. And more berries microwave until warm. Stir. Pour over Apricot covered Freshly Smoked Yellowtail.

………………………...

Smoked Yellowtail topped with Cilantro, Lime, Avocado Sauce

This is not guacamole as the flavor is more lime cilantroish.

Chop up a fair amount of cilantro and add to lime juice. Add a small amount of avocado and a dab of mayo and smash / mix up. Top Freshly Smoked Yellowtail. Garnish with fresh cilantro.




Tight Lines, Chris
