Wife is in the process of making some for tonight. That's some kumquat marmalade in the back ground. Made that yesterday.
Ya, change of plans. Now the great grandkids are coming here for the weekend while their mother works. She is a CNA at the VA care center here in Ogden and they have some people off with Covid quarantine so she has to fill in 12 hr shifts. She actually lives an hour away so decided its a lot easier to just bring the kids and stay here. Supposed to have rain/snow this weekend.
We are in an ‘extreme drought’ this year so not complaining.

That is how my wife is - no heat and not much else either.
That doesn't sound right

Hi everyone,
Caught a few keeper Black Drum and Sheepshead the other day. I usually saute them with a little Salt, Pepper, Onion and Garlic powder. Anyone have other suggestions?
Thanks

Try layering them on foil or cookie sheet. Slather with melted butter. Sprinkle with lemon juice. Then top with Old Bay,pineapple tidbits and diced jalapenos. Bake for 20 minutes @375 or grill until fish is white.
I have done this with pike,walleye,perch and reds. All good. The pineapple and the jalapenos are great together.

Steam the whole fish with ginger, scallions, soy sauce. Finish it with hot sesame oil. Garnish with sliced scallions, ginger, and cilantro. Serve with rice. Real yummy.

I put the fish on a platter and use a wok so the whole fish fits. Steaming should take about 15-20 minutes or so depending on the size. Don't over cook... just until done and flakey. Take the fish out, put on the garnish. Then heat the sesame oil in a separate pan until it starts smoking. SLOWLY drizzle the hot oil over the fish and garnish and watch it sizzle. You'll be a hit at your dinner party! Enjoy and let me know how it goes.

All sounds good. Watch out for bones, of course. Drum and Sheepshead (watch your size requirements) are often plentiful this time of year at POC. The larger ones are usually not as tasty, or take a little longer to bake, etc. My wife has a way of frying that makes 'em crispy and she hates to find bones. I'm like my mother, lived til '91. Never wasted everything. People often throw away part of rib with lower filet meat. I like to clean it, cook/fry it crispy (or she does), and eat it. Did you know, on Animal Planet, there's a show called "Lone Star Law"? It's about Game wardens in Texas, all over Texas. They often show game wardens on the Texas Coast, including POC. Sorry for going on like this. cgap. (Can't wait to get down there)

God bless her and medical care workers. We still don't hear enough appreciation for them. How they work tirelessly to serve people.
