It’s exactly what it is chicky Off the Hook on the Plate 😉 Both my passions in one!
Isn’t it so fun catching your own fish?! It’s now salmon season here where I live so we’ve been down at the American River a lot. Have caught a 24 and a 28 pounder…smoked them both! Thanks for sharing your fishin’ finds!
Ummmmmmm Salmon something we do not have down here on the west coast of Florida but we have pretty much everything else! I have a great fish brine recipe just look up Smoked King fish I use the same prime for all fish 😉 it’s mild and just perfect! 😉 I love that you all enjoy the fish in your area it doesn’t get more fun and better tasting when you catch ;! tight lines!
