I really do not like the taste of fish, but if you catch it, you got to eat it... This is really good with a strong oily fish like a Macinaw. I was given this recipe from a fishing quide at Priest Lake, Idaho. This is the best way to impress your fishing buddies. You can also use almost any large fish like trout and steelhead.
