We had the fish fry yesterday. Now, my family is a bit set in their ways. They watched with rather odd expressions as I "wasted" (I know what they were thinking) the brown meat and rib bones trimmed from the filets. Many of them couldn't believe we were cooking stripes. My cousin manned the fryer as I dipped and corn-meal coated the filets. There were around 25 of us total... maybe a few more... I didn't count. Man that was some great eating. I have always thrown any species of striper back but they were delicious... not a crumb left. Awesome day... cool breeze... no skeeters or gnats... great time with family... good music, good food, great fellowship.
Out in the surf now. Fishing live eels with a circle hook. So far only 2 shorts that where around 20 inches.
