Natural Progression
You know the ol' saying, when God gives you
lemons, make Bonita Shiskabas? Last Friday was beautiful. After seeing this, I was hopeful I would be next in line for a fish. A yellowtail fish. So I loaded up on bait and off to find yellowtails. Didn't happen. But much to my surprise, this did. Here's a pic of how I fillet my bonita. The center cut, cuts out not only the dark meat, but also the small spinal bones. Also the small cut of meat on top is the where the rib bones lay. Now the fillets can be turned into anything. Anything like Shiskabas. So remember, when God gives you lemons, heat up the BBQ... |

Just ate one last week for the first time. Not bad at all. Tastes a lot like chicken. Or albacore.

Nice, never thought to put taters on the skewer are they precooked or do they cook through quick enough?
Looks TASTY!

Hey Andy,
Smart question. The taters are par-boiled first. Otherwise, as you suspect, they will not cook thru. I use waxy skinned small potatoes. Since they have less starch, they're less likely to fall apart. My testing for par-boil doneness is a paritial penatration with a fork. Also, I split the round potatoes in half to ensure a cook thru. Makes for hearty shiskabas with any kind of meats. Especially those monster halibuts you catch. |

Hope its not rude to throw out another recipe for bonito but I like to filet them exactly as you do and then marinate them in spicy mustard for a few hours or overnight then beer batter them.
I am gonna try your shishkabob idea if i can find me some bonito before they are gone |

I love Bonito. It cans very well. Great for Tuna Salad.
Just bleed them out and get them on ice or tank them. Delicious. |
