Season to taste, I prefer a little Johnny's and a little Montreal Steak and let them set in the ice box fer a bit. Now heres the portant part. Preheat the grill then turn down low and place the steaks ON THE TOP rack. Cook however well ya like em. For me it is tan on the out and warm in the middle. Or as my grandpappy use to say blow its nose and wipe its nasty (other word for) butt.

Well I hate to burst yer bubble but I really doubt that you are getting TRUE wild fish at the store. It is not legal to keep anything that is not clipped. And why not go local and catch yer own. We have a lot of very nice fish to be had. And STEELHEAD are (IMO) far better than salmon and a lot more fun to catch too.

Ethel, Wa

If you are from where I think you are I use to go through there as a boy fishing the Willipa River. I use to fish the big and Little Ox bow area.

The river thats starts up your way and ended up my way was the Chehalis River. I lived on the Scoomumchuck River In Centralia. I also fished the Toutle and the Cowlitz River for Steelhead. No better fish even better when they had sea lice on them. That ment they where fresh out of the Ocean.

I have a green egg grill to cook my steaks on. However, I think the prep and marinating is very importantant. I use to have a guy how would buy the cheapest steaks and marinate them for hours and they would be as tender as the expensive cuts. The little cuts from the Filet megnon are out of this world. I went to a Steak house and they where so cheap and the lady said they were trimings that made the Filet Mignon round. Cant remember the name of these little cuttings.

Do you guys ever smoke your fish, meat, smelt, sturegeon , Cornish game hens in a smoke house ?

I am going to build me one out of wood and start smoking fishs and chicken ect. Have not done it since I left home in the late 1960s. Smoked Steelhead was fantastic.

********************PIPS!!!***********

***************We have Blue Copper Marans (BBS) pips...so far 1 pip and 1 zipping...

always so much fun to get up to make coffee and hear the loud peeps !!!

and in December it is really fun.
Yes we will have another set start for New Years...but first 11 Marans to pip today and tomorrow, and next week we have Javas

and Cochins

if they are fertile, I have to do a second candling so hoping they are all fertile

We ought to have quite a mess of babies here soon...glad I picked up more bandettes at the show !!!
I am studying up on the GFq...Sportsman incubator...if anyone has any info as I do not see a manual with it...I remember Dad had taken out the digital parts that were blown when he got it, and he and DH repaired it with the wafer type parts, so it is not the digital model any longer...I do believe the water 'pads' that go in the top tray are missing too...anyone have a sportsman ?
As soon as I get all the parts it needs I will give it a trial run..it is BIG...holds TONS of eggs and has the hatching tray on the bottom...how cool to hatch out 200 chicks all at once !!!

And I got 2 of these incubators !!

A perfect cut of the beef is the back strap, or tenderloin that runs along the spine...where your rib steaks come from, I also love POT ROAST and they have gone up in price so much in the last few years that who can afford it ?

If on sale, horizontally slice a pot roast into 2" steaks...you should get 2 or 3 out of a normal roast, and barbeque it !!!
They are awesome barbequed...gotta go, the peeping is getting CLOSER>>>>>>>and LOUDER.......

I was planing to start up the Big Green egg this afternoon after I get back from Fishing and cook some steaks and Cornish Game hens.

I use to catch steelhead in the Willipa River Little Ox Bow region as a young boy. Thats near Ethel right?

Then latter foucused more on the North Toultle River near Toutle Lake and the the Colitiz River where the fish hatchery was and the mouth of the Toutle River.

Steelhead was my favorite fish and then cutthrout trout in the fall or in the creeks.

I lived on the Scoomuchuck River in Centralia use to catch a few of them below the old saw mill area.

Those where the good old days in the 1960s

Out here the Native Americans are allowed (in a season) to gill net and use cast nets and they do, and they can keep any fish they want, wild or hatchery raised, and they can sell it for profit, and they do that too.
We see wild salmon in stores all the time.
I recommend driving (take your ice chest) to some of the fishing docks and ask around for fish to buy...and now crab is in too at $2.97 in some places,( just in time for Chippiono) you can buy right from the indians or fisherman there.
Often in the newspaper it is advertised as to which dock to go to.
Westport has good fishing boats and a few places south of us here, like Bay Center...it is a destination, a nice adventerous drive, and do't forget your ice chest.
We also have South Bend a few miles from us here that is the oyster capital of the world, and there is also docks and fishing boats there.
We went into So Bend a few days ago and they have fresh crab signs out....and a new biz opened called the chowder shack YUMMM!!!

Chickylady,

I just got a new Sportsman 1502 so have the manual. PM me if there is something specific you want to know. The humidity pads are only for hatching. The water tray is exactly the right surface of water for 50%-55% humidity. The addition of the pad brings it up to around 65% for a hatch. It only takes one pad and it sits upright in the slots of the water tray. I received 2 with the incubator but the other is a spare. I had been dry incubating in my styrofoam bators. Hatch rates were very sporatic even with my own eggs. When I got the Sportsman I used it just like it said with the humidity at 50%. My hatch rate has been almost 100% with my own eggs, even the Marans. If you want the humidity to be lower you will have to use something with a smaller surface. Also, the tray of water will evaporate quickly and only last a few days at best so check it often and keep it full to the top.

Yay on your Marans hatch. Keep us posted and take pics!

I love all Salmon...and most salt water fish ie: Lingcod, Cabezon, black fish, rock cod, true cod, stripers, surf perch and sand dabs, flounders and tuna...of yeah !
Fresh Yellowfin on the barbeque is to die for !!!
And use a plank people:
Go to Home Depot, buy a few cedar fence boards...take them home and cut them into 12" sections, when ready to barbie fish, submerg the section of plank early in the morning in a 5 gallon bucket, hold it down with a clean rock or brick...when time to barbie, put the plank ON the grill, fish on top, smother in a fresh dill bed if you like, cover loosely with a foil tent, close the lid on the grill. and it will be ready soon, poached, and have a perfect cedar aroma to it.
Steelehead is fun to catch...Silvers and Kings are awful fun too !!!
Better than you-know-what!!!

Ugh, I really hope you mean real ones, not what the store bought ones are labelled as. . . I hate that Tyson can actually sell those and pass them off as "Cornish Game Hen" - When they're just Cornish X's. BIG difference.


Had to say it.
