Spring is the time to go fishing before the heat descends.
Leave your fishing pole and bait at home and bring your net.
One native fish here are called suckers and can't be caught with a pole.
They are bottom feeders with many bones and swim right into a net or cage.

is to can them with a pressure cooker, which
dissolves their many bones, and then fry 'em up
like a salmon patty.
 |
| Canned fish The flavor was very mild, fresh and all bones were dissolved. I added fennel seed & cayenne pepper for flavor. |
Locally caught fish then freshly canned
and ready to eat as a snack with crackers
or formed into a patty and fried
with the fresh taste and satisfaction of
providing great food and compliments
to the fisherman, Donald.
When we lived in Northern Wisconsin, near Lake Superior, spring was a great time to snag Suckers and Carp. The locals said when the water is cold the fish aint bad. They would smoke the suckers. We tried em and they were pretty good. Carp, are a different 'kettle of fish' for me. Not my style, but the smaller suckers were palatable.
