Lunch on the Beach

The best stuff you can buy is smoked whitefish. They are about the size of the palm of your hand and when smoked, appear gold in color. I know somewhere up there you can get it in boxes of 24 fish. I have some of my cousins looking for it.

Thanks for the story and pictures.

Smoking fish isn't hard to do or terribly time consuming either. Get a Weber Smokey Mountain Smoker (I'd avoid the Brinkman's based on experience) and surf the web for recipes. There are lot's of other great foods to smoke too - "ABT's" are a great appetizer (you can Google the abbreviation), make your own chipolte, smoked cheese (this takes some skill but it is worth developing), and just about any meat or sausage can be smoked and it is truly the only proper way to prepare ribs or barbecue.

After flying or working on building my RV-9A, cooking and fishing are two of my favorite activities and practically nothing pleases the wife more than smoked pork ribs unless it's a pulled shoulder butt - and she's from Wisconsin and knows smoked fish. When the wife is happy my whole world shines.

Thanks for the account and pictures Paul! I'm new to the site, and have been contemplating starting an -8. I've read your progress pages, and would have loved to see your plane at Anoka County.

ps. I like fish more than most, but refuse to try lutefisk no matter how far back the tradition goes!
