Thanks Four, I'll have to try that. I like it sauteed in butter and olive oil.

You’re welcome. Nothing wrong with that either. Is that an amberjack in your avatar?

Is that only good with Sheepshead

No, but the sheephead texture mimics flaked crab meat. You can do it with any firm fish filets. Taste your crab boil seasoning before poaching to make sure it’s what you like. I use Zatarans liquid crab boil and add other seasonings to taste before poaching.

Here are some pics as promised. My friend Carl caught the biggest Sheepshead that day. The toadfish was the biggest one I ever caught.

Nice sheephead TPK. If you haven’t tried it yet, in a poaching pan with some crab boil, poach the filets until flaky, then use it like crab meat. Put on some lettuce with cocktail sauce and some lemon juice, excellent imitation crab.

Okay day? That’s a great day. Beautiful fish and day on the water with your sons. Top notch in my book. 👍

That last one will allow you to fish more frequently. 👍

My brother and I used to ride in the "way back " seat in my father's '63 Catalina wagon. He would look for dips in the road, and we would fly up and hit the roof. It was a blast, even though we nearly went out the window a couple times. Still here to talk about it.

Catalina. Now there was a tank. We eventually got a station wagon. Here’s me and my brother and dad after a fishing trip in front of it. This was 67’.

I didn’t even have one of those when I was little, my mom used to throw her arm out in front of me if she had to hit the brakes hard, she used to joke about how the one in the middle was safe and the one on the passenger side got slugged in the face

Uncle T, there were six of us kids sitting in each other’s laps in the back seat or crammed between mom and dad in the front. If not there, in the back of our grandfathers pickup truck.

There you go Stephen. Take it like a (baby) man!

I remember riding in my mom’s old Rambler. Metal dashboard, no seatbelts. Yet we survived.

Learned my lesson

hope that wuznt u 4

Yes it was. Oil spot left in the driveway is how I caught it. Brought it back to them and gave them a reaming. I used to do it myself but as I got busier I started letting them do it. Gotta watch any shop including dealers closely.

That sure sounds good 👍

It is. It takes a while and is a bit labor intensive, don’t microwave your roux, make it the traditional way, and you can’t go wrong. My mother and grandmother used to make the real crawfish bisque, cleaning, stuffing and baking the head shell and the stuffing along with the roux. It was a two to three day process depending on how much was made. Unbelievably good.

Four, you got a recipe for courtbullion. I'd like to try that. Wife usually makes Smoked fish dip with the trout.

Very similar to the one I learned from my mother. It can be modified as you like especially if you favor other ingredients. It’s good even with the kitchen sink. C’est bon.
