It's a little hard for me to type this right now, with all the tears rolling down my face, but that right there is a thing of beauty and words just can't describe that picture. Two of my favorite things in the whole world...... Sorry, I'm a little verklempt right now. If someone told me to describe or explain what life was like, living in the U.P. , I guess the ol saying ....a picture is worth a thousand words !!!! Well, need I say more. That's what I call beer batter at it's finest.
Kevin, might I suggest a nice light rye bread, buttered , with a nice tangy apple cider creamy coleslaw and German potatoe salad to go with a lightly dusted and seasoned fried burot, followed by a dozen 12 ounce brown betty's from the cooler. A guy can dream, can't he ??? Enjoy!!! Slammer!!!
just throwing this out there for the foodie/burbot fans... the biggest hit of our fish fry during our trip up there every year are burbot loins chuncks wrapped/tootpicked with capicola (or bacon if you can not get the fancy itallion stuff), then dipped in wet drakes (or similar wet batter) then panko crusted and fried...
dip em' in infused oils or just crunch'em plain... those golden nuggets are some of the finest edibles on earth...
At this very moment, my wife should be dropping off 4 backstraps for you. If you are not home, I told her to leave them on your porch. I only had about 35 minutes to clean the things before she left, so I didn't even have time to rinse them. Anyway, enjoy... And Benzie Rover, your recipe sounds awesome!!! Thank you...
Holy Crap,
Mrs Claus was just at my door step, and caught me in my lounge pants hobbling outside to catch her. Now I'm really a little Verklempt.
That was unbelivable and I can't thank you and your wife enough. The chicken is going back in the freezer and the dinner menu has changed for tonight.
I'm assuming these are one in the same that came from Mr. Tomjohn.
Big thanks going out to you too!!!
Thanks again so very much Kevin and Theresa. Slammer!!!
Kev...tch tch tch Someday I'm going to show you how to fillet a burbot. You are leaving wayyyyyy to much meat on those burbots.
Not to worry Tom. I only had about 35 minutes to clean them before Theresa left so I quickly stripped out the loins for now. As it is, I still ended up getting bait for someone with Burbot slime all over hand! Anyway, I plan on finishing up the tails when the help gets here at 5:00. Oh, by the way, I tried skinning the first one like in that video I posted and it works great. It might take a little bit longer, but it's much easier to hold the with fish once the skin is off and it's not not so slippery. Definately how I will be cleaning them in the future...
