My husband went fishing 🎣 this morning. He caught some speckled trout and brown trout. I’d tasted speckled trout before. It’s very good but I liked the brown trout better. We all had some fish including the dogs and cat with no complaints.

Here they have brown, speckled, rainbow, and sea trout.

Here are the fishies! He cleaned them at the river before bringing them home. The water is very cold. Here is the difference in the colour, between them.

Do you like eating fresh fish?

I love fish!

Baked, sautéed, stuffed, however... and ALWAYS savoured with fresh squeezed lemon juice!

Sautéed in butter and garlic is my fave, and as for a side dish, beans with a salad.

How did you prepare these fish, Keesha?

I do also Marg but oddly enough don’t like shellfish or most other seafood. One thing I love is fresh salmon but I didn’t cook these. My husband did. He coated them in flour with salt & pepper and fried them in butter.

Right now I have 4 different types of lettuce so can make fresh salad as well ‘with’ homemade salad dressing. Yummmmm.

Sounds delish!

Nothing is off the table for me when it comes to seafood, though I never did warm to calamari.
 
I love fish! My favorite is cod but will eat any kind and in anyway it can be prepared.
The one fish I've steered clear of is Tilapia. I do love the flavor but I've seen photos of how they are raised in other countries and it is repulsive.
Made me think of years ago when my grandpa would go fishing and come home with trout.
He called it brook trout.
We took it for granted back then but these days it is almost a delicacy to buy trout or to find any fish that isn't farm raised.
@Keesha you are so lucky to have that wonderful fresh fish.

Cod is another type I really like.
Ive read about Tilapia also. It’s living in its own filth. It’s not something I’d be interested in eating either. Rivers and streams here are so crystal clear and cold.

My man is in heaven here. I’ve never seen him so happy before, nor have I known him to catch this many fish either. What he was happiest about was that he caught them all off one of the spinners he’d made earlier.

I agree with you. I think we took fresh for granted. Heck! We took fresh water for granted. Most fish IS farm raised these days. So true.

My Dad was an avid fisherman. He used to reel in rainbow trout quite often .. that was when we lived in Alberta. I was his fishing buddy when I was little.

Alas, I am allergic to too many types of fish. However, I enjoy the one's I'm not allergic to.

It's nice your hubby is so thrilled :)

That’s adorable. The only time I ever fished with my dad was when we were invited up to a cottage on the French River by friends of my parents. We stayed there all weekend and my dad went fishing with the man and both my brothers. I was about 6 but I wanted to go so they put a hook on a string and I caught my first fish. When they said they were going to cook it, I cried so they let it go. 😂

It was a very memorable bonding experience which has been one of my favourite childhood memories but my dad wasn’t a fisherman and had no interest.

That’s really nice that you had that type of close relationship. How lovely. It’s too bad you are allergic to many types of fish. I can relate to food allergies.

Does your husband fish at all?

While I love wild fish and game, I refuse to kill anything I eat.

I'll go for walks with hubby in the bush, but will not go on a hunt, same goes for fishing.

Noooooooooo way. My husband he probably really appreciates that you’re not going. 🤣 He’s only saying that cause he probably appreciates that I’m not going fishing either. I’d rather swim in the water than fish in it but it’s a bit nippy at the moment.

Like yourself, I can’t eat anything I kill or kill anything I eat. I prefer to be ignorant as to where my food comes from. I’d rather stay home and make biscuits or scones.

I’m such a wuss at times. 🤭

What do you stuff your fish with?

Sadly, I, too, try and forget where that package of beef, pork, or veal comes from, and shame on my for doing so, but I'm a no-kill kind of gal.

OMG, what don't I stuff fish with. Fresh garlic, herbs, finely chopped onion, parsley, finely chopped and sautéed bacon, sweet chilies, dill, a few sprigs of rosemary, anything goes really, don't be afraid to experiment.

No, my husband doesn't fish. My brother out in Vancouver does though. I remember, one time, going to where the salmon were spawning. It made me sad.

Yes, it’s shameful. If I didn’t have 2 metabolic disorders I’d be vegan. I can’t eat gluten or choline which eliminates many foods. Some foods I have a difficult time handling / cooking etc. My husband usually cooks the red meat since I don’t often eat it. Skirmish is the word I’d use. 😏

Bacon, sweet chillies, dill, rosemary .....
YES! That’s a fine idea. The stuff I normally add on the top I can put in the middle. Great idea. 👍
I will be sure to try it. I’d like to surprise him on Father’s Day. I know he’s not my father but he’s our dogs / cat’s father and we celebrate it. If he goes fishing that morning I’ll make something special for him. As long as he cleans them first. I don’t want to be cutting off fish heads or see eyes staring back at me.

Ohhhhh! It’s very sad watching fish spawning. They keep jumping up the River and bash themselves on the rocks. Some of them look horrible. Dont they do that when they are going to die too?

Don't be afraid to add rice.

I'm getting hungry already!

Are those trout wild trout or were they stocked? Most trout caught here are stocked except in a few places where they manage to reproduce. The only natives we have are brookies.
 
I just had salmon for dinner w/ a green salad with cukes, frozen peas and avocado. And a lemon/oil dressing.
The salmon was supposed to be citrus marinated, but I didn't taste it. And croutons.

I ate so healthy, I'm telling myself that It'd probably be ok to have one of those lava cakes I have in the freezer from Trader Joe's.....lol

And, btw, the trout looks delish.
