Huaco Kid Posted February 3, 2023 Share Posted February 3, 2023 How come japanese restaurants never have Trout Sushi? (or Bass?) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Huaco Kid Posted February 3, 2023 Share Posted February 3, 2023 (they probably do. I've read that 95% of the sushi you get at the restaurants is not the fish they sell it as.) codfish. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Borg warner Posted February 3, 2023 Share Posted February 3, 2023 28 minutes ago, Huaco Kid said: How come japanese restaurants never have Trout Sushi? (or Bass?) Because Japanese restaurants never serve any freshwater fish. Sushi (or Sashimi) is only Ocean fish. My favorite is Yellowtail which is sometimes referred to as Yellowtail tuna but is not a type of Tuna but is a fish called Japanese Amberjack which is caught off the shores of Japan, Australia, California and Hawaii. It has a high fat content which gives it it's distinctive flavor. Traditionally in Japan, it was only eaten in the winter when the fish had the highest fat content. A particular delicacy is Yellowtail Collar which is just the meat around the gills. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've fished for Pike, Pickerel. Perch, some bass, catfish, Pacific barracuda, Alaskan Rockfish, but mostly Rainbow and Brown trout in California, Colorado and Washington State, but I've never done any fly fishing. And none of the fish I ever caught were record-size fish., just good eating size or else I'd throw them back. Sometimes when lake fishing with my brother, we would talk about catching "Old Moe" the biggest most legendary fish in the history of the lake. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Huaco Kid Posted February 3, 2023 Share Posted February 3, 2023 Dad was a (only) trout fisherman. Cricks only. Never lakes. All our friends, when I was a kid, went to skiing in Colorado, and France, and scuba in Bermuda. We got camping in a ****-mud Pennsylvania. Because Dad loved trout. And knew where they were. Cold spring-fed, 4' wide. With the little-waterfall bubbles coming off. 1' deep. Welcome to my life. We had trout for breakfast. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Huaco Kid Posted February 3, 2023 Share Posted February 3, 2023 Once, I am too old to remember (I was very little,, but this part, I remember, Dad was fishing... We camped in all the west and upper mid-west. Everywhere. Probably f'n trout. And Dad fished this crystal-clear hole, and a honkin' fish was there, and Dad was Dad. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Huaco Kid Posted February 3, 2023 Share Posted February 3, 2023 Then Dad said, "If I was a bear, I WOULD DO THIS!!!" And he jumped into the crystal-clear water, full deep, and came up with a huge honkin' trout in his arms. I didn't know what Rangers were. Or why they were there. Or their deal. I was, like, six. But, for some reason, they were right there. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Huaco Kid Posted February 3, 2023 Share Posted February 3, 2023 They gave us candy. Dad didn't fish any more, for the rest of this camping trip. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Huaco Kid Posted February 4, 2023 Share Posted February 4, 2023 He never did 'Fly". Even though we bought him all the ****, forever, for birthdays and Christmas. He just wanted Zebco, 50 miles from nowhere, in ButtMudd Pa, in some crick, at 2am, , 4' wide, 2' deep. Where the brownies are. For breakfast. He had gin on him. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Huaco Kid Posted February 4, 2023 Share Posted February 4, 2023 One story was, that Mom and Dad, waaaaaay before we were invented, were on a date... In a rowboat, in Lake Erie.... And Dad caught a 4' Musky. They fight. Even when they're in the boat. Mom was a tough girl. She did that all our life. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Huaco Kid Posted February 4, 2023 Share Posted February 4, 2023 So Mom had to sit on it, it the bottom of the rowboat,, for an hour, on Erie, while Dad rowed back. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mrs.Cicero Posted February 6, 2023 Share Posted February 6, 2023 The husband has taken up making fly rods for his latest hobby/stress relief, when he can't actually go fishing. I caught an itty bitty trout with the one he made me earlier this year. That was the third fish I've ever caught in my life. This might be because when the fish steal my flies, I pretend I don't notice, and I keep standing in the stream casting for fun, because I like standing in the cold water when it's 90F in the shade, and it's too hot for my brain to remember how to put a new fly on the line. I'm taking a flytying class ever Wednesday for the next 4 weeks. Because I like feathers, and beads. And macrame. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
railfancwb Posted February 6, 2023 Share Posted February 6, 2023 If you don’t put hooks or bait or lures on the end of the line, but do put a good sinker, you can stand/sit there all day fishing and never have one to throw back or clean. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sounds like today. 6 hours in the shanty and no bites. The place I fish doesn't have many Rainbows, but the ones that are there get large due to the bazillions of Stickleback Minnows.
