Fish. It's what's for dinner. Straight from Massachusetts Bay

With steamed vegetables, home grown tomatoes, corn on the cob, and a bottle of white zinfandel...

1. Striped Bass?

I've only caught them in fresh water, but I've heard that they also live in saltwater.

2. A striper. Yup.

Catching them is tricky.

There is a 15 minute window as the tide shifts, either in or out.

This was caught at the mouth of the Neponset river, out by "the gas tank".

3. For those who don't know what "the gas tank" is

10. Isn't that the famous Ho Chi Minh profile gas tank?

[Xipe Totec]

4. I caught one of them in Maine, before

It was 24" long and I had to throw it back. At the time there was a 36" limit on them. It was the biggest fish I'd ever caught at that point.

5. I think that one was over 48"

Though I really think we should the little ones, and toss the big ones back.

18. that's so cool!

15. Those are good looking fish, no question. What could be better?

Trout.
I prefer trout.
The other important factor is how the fish is cooked. We have caught the tuna in the Pacific and grilled them on the boat, and they are good.
I like them fried, also. Like H Salt Esq., most of which are closed.
You know, some people think fish are pets. I think they are food. If they are cooked properly.
