Fishing

Do any of you faggots fish? The only threads I see on this board are threads about fast food and questions about simple recipes that could easily be answered by google. Does everyone here really spend all their time jerking it to loli and ordering pizza? Dont you realize that adventure lurks nearby, wherever you may be?

I fish regularly. Strangely enough I don't particularly care for the taste of fish and throw 90% of my catches back to either feed other people or breed to make more fish. I fish for sport.

I dont have any pictures of the trout filets that I grilled and topped with a creamy sauce I flavored with mustard and dill because I voraciously devoured them while shitfaced. I did however get a shot of h roe he next day after I removed them from the membrane and cured them. pic was taken after a rather large sampling of the caviar.

[Anonymous No.4875897]

There's still fish in your rivers left to fish?
My state hardly restocks. They must think the freshwater eels are good enough.
Haven't gone fishing in a long time. Hard to find a spot where someone hasn't left their trash and fished the river empty.

[Anonymous No.4875914]

Went to the local market and picked up some ingredients to compliment the trout roe. Mixed creme fraiche with dill, brined some cucumber, and put the roe on leftover baguette slices.

Fluke from earlier in the season. The meat was so light and flaky. I usually ate it raw with a japanese, italian, or hispanic dressing.

The best is catching trout and crabs in the same sitting and serving them 4 hours later. Ok, so I purged the crabs overnight, but the fish was caught hours before.

[Anonymous No.4876568]

I suggest doing it this way though...
Buy a can of salmon or some fresh stuff. The canned stuff works best though.
Prepare that.

Get a plain pizza from a local mom & pop shop.

Put the salmon on the pizza yourself.

Enjoy in the profit of your enveavors!

It's the same for sardines. No pizza places have those, they always have salty ass anchovies.

So its not smoked, just canned salmon? That sounds better.

[Anonymous No.4876577]

I've only tried the canned one on pizza and it's good. I do weird shit, I put chili on pizza too. I like getting a plain pizza from a cool place and putting my own toppings on it. I like to experiment and have fun.

I think smoked would be better but smoked salmon is expensive and I can't get good stuff in upstate NY where I live. I think a slice of smoked salmon would be awesome on some good pizza.

Fuck paying $50 extra for that when I can do that myself for like $2.

[Anonymous No.4876578]

>>4876568
Thinly sliced smoked salmon that comes on waxed board is probably the best. We use it for appetizers all the time and it goes very well with cheese and bread/crostinis.
>>4876569
Toasted anchovies quickly taste like nuts. I'll eat sardines or eel straight from the tin, but sardines are a great pizza topping, if only when done correctly.
>>4876571
I disagree, see above. Make a pizza with very little sauce, and a thinner layer of cheese, with onion, roasted red bell pepper, and anything else you might think will not interfere with your thin strips of salty smoked salmon.

[Anonymous No.4876579]

>>4876569
Fresh sardines are glorious

[Anonymous No.4876582]

Drained. Don't put the salmon on if it's all wet right from a can.

Used to fish all the time, never kept though. All the places I've ever been too were catch & release.

Which bugs me, because everyone would always kill the fish while trying to get the hook out or it suffocated while people were waiting it in the air. They'd just throw the dead fish back in and they would float around the top.

Did a lot of fishing in BC, Canada. Had a neighbour that would take some of the catch that we had every weekend and served it at his diner as a "Catch of the day" deal.

Grew older, moved to Hong Kong, kept fishing for a good 4 years or so after settling in. Gave up after 4 years after I realized it wasn't worth the effort, out of the 30 odd so people I know who I see near the pier regularly, we can an average of one fish that's over 2.5 pounds...per year. The rest are either juveniles or trash fish.
Usually, I wouldn't mind trash fish but the pier wasn't exactly in a pristine spot, so it was better to be safe than sorry.

There's some pretty large fish out right by the docks though. It's usually nothing, nothing, nothing and more nothing for several months then one of us hits the jackpot.
