striped bass

[narlus]

this fish tastes so good i'm tempted to fish for it myself...finally got my first wild bass of the season from a fish market tonight....wow! they only had 0.5 lb so i got some patagonian toothfish to go w/ it. made a 'salsa' of chopped tomatoes, arugula, basil, a bit of thyme, and the juice of one lemon and EVOO. S&P too. topped the fish, after my typical cooking method (pan-sear in a skillet for ~6 min, then transfer to 350F for another ~6 min).

steamed broccoli and sliced tomato w/ some tuscan wheat bread on the side. frog's leap chardonnay completed the picture.

I've only seen it on the dock once this season so far, tasty. Been catching loads lately but all just below the minimum 28" length. September's cooler temps bring the big ones into shore so you should see more in stores soon, especially once the commercial season opens up. If I get a monster haul I'll save one for you, cheeks and all.

and i'd love a filet o' bass... damn is that stuff tremendous.

I miss good stripers from the East Coast...yum.

But uh, you've heard about the scarcity of the toothfish right?

i have...as my friend said 'it's not my fault that it's a tasty beast'.

We pack 'em in Old Bay & rock salt and cook 'em on the grill with lemon and butter all rolled up in tinfoil. I have always caught a limit near the Calvert Cliffs Nuclear Station flats while trolling and my record to date is a 38"er. Charter boats based off Solomons Island have always done the trick well enough for me.

Every time narlus eats a toothfish, Baby Jesus rubs one out.
