Different classes of fish, almost incomparable to each other.

For smoking it’s tough to beat a trout or salmon. I’ve not tried sturgeon but heard it’s great. Smoked tuna good too.

Grilled: steelhead followed by coho salmon and lake trout.

Fish fry: walleye, perch, cold water northern

Poaching: cod, eel pout, trout

Pickled pike kicks the hell out of pickled herring

Then you’ve got ocean fish. Mahi, snapper, grouper, halibut and so on. Some folks swear triggerfish is the best.

Catfish with cornmeal breading is real good too.

Pan fried brook trout or rainbow hits the spot

Tuna in sushi or grilled rare.
 
I need to make some time to start fishing again. Probably most of my tackle and rods n reels would be considered antique by you young guys. :laugh: Did mostly trout fishing but when I lived along the Susquehanna river it was smallies and channel cats. Stihl have the motor I used on my jon boat. 1955 Johnson. 1614683534869.png For now I'll just have to settle for this from Arby's. :omg: 1614683630652.png
 
Seems to be warming up here to, or at least the constant rain and grey has gone and we've had some good dry and sunny weather, yay!! My swamp of a rear garden has even dried enough that I can walk on it a little without totally wrecking it. So I spent some time Saturday stacking the oak I've split, probably stacked 2/3rds which was about 1/3 of a cord. The better weather and lighter evenings have really improved my mood, this winter had been a mental **** turd, covid bites in many ways. I'm so glad spring is clearly coming.
What's up Neil.
Nice to leave the grey :rare2: behind :clap:, Nice sunny day with blue skies here today. I managed to split almost a face cord myself yesterday. The right side of my chest has been real sore, couldn't figure out why, then today I was thinking about it and remembered pulling the starter on the splitter 50 or so times :oops:. It was nice out yesterday, but the wind was kicking and the temps were just below freezing so it was a bit chilly, but the sun was shinning:havingarest:. I do much better with the sunshine myself, SAD is a struggle for me here, we have a good number of overcast and cloudy days here, probably just as bad there. Tomorrow they are calling for 48f, hope to get more done outside.
Here's the first bucket of the yr.
