Pulling up big delicious crabs. We put them in the bottom of the boat and kept our feet up off the deck. I also caught halibut on a line in Cook Inlet. absolutely delicious. My favorite would be sockeye salmon, though, used to fish for them in Bristol Bay

Used to be pike in Lake Erie that were good, but they no longer exist there.

I eat salmon because of its nutritious value, but don't like the taste as well as other fish. I'd rather have tuna.

in Lake Erie. When they had a good catch, my mother would fry them for dinner. Don't know what seasonings she used besides butter and a little salt, but they were really good.

We used to have fish stores, only open late Thursday afternoon and all day Friday. They always had a tray of hot crab cakes free to munch on while waiting for them to put your fish order together. Fish and clams fresh off the boats at the harbor piers.

waters supported the the best textured clams, scallops, cod and flatfish before the global warm up.

The North End Italian festivals every weekend for a different Saint or the Virgin Mary (until mid 70's) would serve up icy cold raw bar quahogs, little neck clams and oysters. Yum.

12. Cod and tuna
Wed Mar 1, 2023, 02:43 PM
Mar 2023

I cannot choose either as the best. Cod is good no matter how you fix it, broiled, fried, grilled, it's all good. Tuna is best grilled fresh, although I do like canned tuna made into tuna salad. As for fishing, it's just not my thing. If you catch them and clean and cook them, I'll be happy to eat them.

But I know people who do. I coat it with toasted pumpkin seed oil, it works like a nutty glaze, and pepper, some lemon. That's about it. Same with the trout. When it's fresh, it doesn't need help.

1 part soy sauce
1 part maple syrup (the real thing)
Garlic to taste (in other words, lots)

Mix 'em up, marinate for a couple hours or overnite, then grill or bake.
