Fishing for Spiny Dogfish on the Puget Sound
BY Thomas Swimme

The excitement of catching a shark is a joy that is still just as vibrant today as it was when I was a child. I can remember early morning salmon fishing trips with my uncles and cousins when I’d let my line drift a little too deep and end up hooking into a spiny dogfish. While this was not ideal on a salmon fishing trip, nor appreciated by my relatives, catching a shark was one of my greatest thrills. I’m still not sure if dogfish was my first fish but I am sure it was my most prized. The way they circle back and forth when being reeled in and the first sight of a fin or an eye has always given me the chills…..

FRIED SHARK FILLETS WITH SAUTÉED PEPPERS AND CILANTRO CHIMICHURRI

Ingredients:

• 6 ears of corn
• Olive oil
• 4 large bell peppers (red, yellow, orange), sliced
• 2 large onions, sliced
• 2/3 head of garlic, chopped
• Salt and pepper
• 1 lemon, juiced
• 1 spiny dogfish, filleted and prepared
• All-purpose flour
• 3 lemons

Cilantro Chimichurri, recipe follows

1. Boil the corn. Drain and put into ice bath. When cool, cut off kernels and reserve.
2. Put pot over medium-high heat and add olive oil. When heated, add peppers and onions, stir, reduce to medium heat and cover. We are not trying to color the vegetables so keep the heat low and stir regularly.
3. Add the chopped garlic, salt and pepper. Add corn to warm. Add juice of 1 lemon to brighten the flavor.
4. Heat a skillet with a generous amount of oil over medium-high heat. Cut the shark fillets into 4-ounce portions. Pepper and flour each portion and pat off excess (the meat is strong enough not to need salt). When oil is hot enough, fry fillets until golden and crisp on both sides.

To Serve: Place the fillets over the bell pepper medley on the plate. Squeeze lemon juice over the fillets. Spoon chimichurri sauce around. Tailor the amount of chimichurri sauce to balance the flavor of the fish. Serve with a grassy New Zealand sauvignon blanc or light Moscato to pair with the chimichurri and combat the saltiness of the shark fillets.

CILANTRO CHIMICHURRI

Ingredients:

• ¼ cup Champagne vinegar
• 1/3 head of garlic, chopped
• 2 lemons
• Honey
• 1 large bunch cilantro, minced
• 1/3 bunch parsley, minced
• 1 cup olive oil
• Salt and pepper

In a bowl combine vinegar, chopped garlic, juice of 2 lemons, honey, cilantro and parsley. Slowly whisk in olive oil. Season with salt and pepper.

CanCooker.com

Fremont, NE – -(AmmoLand.com)-The boys of the Bone Collector™ Team, Michael Waddell, Travis “T-Bone” Turner and Nick Mundt, spend much of their time on the trail of trophy game.

Their quests leave them with little time to prepare healthy food, which is important for keeping up the energy and stamina they need for success.

Now this problem is solved thanks to the revolutionary CanCooker®, which has changed the way they cook in the outdoors for the better.

CanCooker Joins the Bone Collector Team

“The CanCooker wins in so many areas,” T-Bone said. “Thanks to the CanCooker, preparing healthy, great-tasting food outdoors is now easier than ever. I don’t know how we ever survived in the wild without it!”

No more high-fat grilled food. No more messy clean up for these guys – only healthy, great-tasting food prepared in minutes. Thanks to its durable construction, the CanCooker can be used with a variety of different heat sources, such as a campfire, grill, stovetop, turkey burner, etc.

Once placed on its preferred heat source, the CanCooker will begin to generate a constant flow of steam. Within a few minutes, excess steam will visibly exit through the vent hole positioned on the lid. Once this happens, the food encased within the cooking chamber begins its actual cooking process.

The constant flow of steam within the pot deeply penetrates the food at temperatures in excess of 160-degrees Fahrenheit.

Most recipes suggest keeping the CanCooker on its heat source for an additional 35 to 40 minutes. Once this time is up, you can enjoy healthy, great-tasting food unlike anything you’ve experienced in the Great Outdoors.

Check out the Bone Collector TV show on the Outdoor Channel on Sundays at 8:30am, Mondays at 12:30pm and Tuesdays at 6 am and keep an eye out for T-Bone’s 30-second promotion of the CanCooker.

West Virginia DNR

SOUTH CHARLESTON, W.Va. --(AmmoLand.com)- West Virginia deer hunters gain more than a freezer filled with an ample amount of venison (deer meat) after each hunting season. Those concerned with healthier choices in their diet have gained a supply of low-fat meat compared to beef.

“Venison is a healthful source of protein and many West Virginia families supplement their diet with nutritious venison harvested in the Mountain State,” noted Curtis Taylor, Chief of the Wildlife Resources Section of the West Virginia Division of Natural Resources (DNR). “Venison has fewer calories and nearly five times less fat than the equivalent serving of beef.”

After the harvest, hunters can ensure their selected venison cuts will be the best quality and flavor if they take a few simple steps in caring for their game. Meat should not be exposed to excessive heat and moisture and should be cooled as quickly as possible to avoid spoilage.

Hunters are not the only West Virginians who benefit from deer harvested in the state. Over the past 17 years, the DNR has sponsored the Hunters Helping the Hungry Program (HHH). Since its inception in 1992, hunter-donated venison has provided more than 925,000 meals for needy West Virginia families.

For more information about the HHH program or West Virginia’s various deer hunting seasons and regulations, consult the 2009-2010 West Virginia Hunting and Trapping Regulations Summary available at all DNR Offices and license agents or visit the DNR Web site at www.wvdnr.gov.

Seaside, Oregon - -(AmmoLand.com)- A new culinary website, RecipesFromTheWild.com, went live this week, offering sportsmen the opportunity to expand their recipe rolodex.

Company founder, Bethel Honan, of Seaside, Oregon, is a graduate of Western Culinary Institute and says the idea developed from necessity.

“After marrying an avid hunter and angler, I searched the web for a great ground venison recipe but was uninspired by what I found,” says Honan. “I knew I had to develop something that lets people submit and share their wild game recipes and get some great options in return.”

RecipesFromTheWild.com allows users to register for free.  Then they can submit their own recipes and select recipes from other members. The site is also open to the general public for free browsing.

Honan hopes the site will not only open doors to new, creative ways to prepare dinner, but also connect people who value wild-game conservation and the health and sustainability benefits of using locally-harvested seafood, meats and other ingredients.

About:

Bradley Smokers - A Hot Idea About Cold Smoke!

Delta, British Columbia, Canada, - -(AmmoLand.com)- 2008-Bradley Smokers makes the only smoker that can do it all from hot smoking (genuine barbecue food) to cold smoking using their NEW cold smoke adapter. Cold smoked salmon and jerky are two examples of cold smoking.

“The Bradley Cold Smoke Adapter adds a whole new dimension for owners of Bradley Smokers and creates a superior method to cold smoke food at a very reasonable price.”-Wade Bradley, President

Cold smoking on warm or hot days has always been a problem due to the smoke heat and ambient day heat drying out or even cooking the food. The Bradley adaptor has also solved that problem. In fact, the Bradley when used as a cold smoker basically operates at the ambient temperature of the day. No longer is heat created by the smoker as it is with other smokers. Yet in minutes you can convert the smoker back to a smoke cooker for some great cooked barbecue chicken or ribs, etc.

Additionally, in tough economic times home food preparation and preservation may become more popular, but for now many people do it for just great tasting homemade food.

HOW IT WORKS: The Cold Smoke Adaptor attaches to the Bradley electric smoker via a 36-inch long aluminum smoke tube and adapter plate. Then the Bradley smoke generator (which came with the original smoker) is attached to the cold smoke tube via the powder coated steel adapter box. The smoke adapter and smoke generator are then positioned at a lower level so the cool smoke can rise into the main smoke compartment to do its flavor packed work without heat.

HOW FAST: The time necessary to convert the Bradley Smoker from a regular barbecue smoke cooking to a cold smoke unit is about two-minutes; same for removal and restoration back to a barbecue smoker.

Price: The entire system (adaptor box, smoker tube, adaptor plate) MSRP $99.00

Better when brined: When food is brined, marinated or cured in Bradley made brines the flavor enhancement is even greater, in fact flavors jump off the chart when food is brined or marinated and smoked. The overall benefits are greatly enhanced flavor and excellent preservation characteristics.

Availability: In grilling/BBQ specialty stores stores, sporting goods stores and specialty catalogs or direct from Bradley.

National Wild Turkey Federation

NWTF – -(AmmoLand.com)- Americans know the economy is deflated, waistlines are inflated and there aren’t enough hours in the day to spend quality time with our families. As a result, many of us are looking for ways to save money, eat better and simplify our lives.

With the holidays fast approaching and food safety scares regarding meat, spinach, tomatoes and other foods still in recent memory, now is the best time to pay close attention to where our food comes from and try eating locally harvested foods.

According to James Earl Kennamer, Ph.D., senior vice president of conservation programs for the National Wild Turkey Federation, there is no better way to support your local economy, get a jump on your New Year’s resolution to eat better and know your food is fresh than to hunt locally and eat your catch.

“Hunters have hunted local game and provided savory, fresh turkey, venison, elk and fish for their families for hundreds of years,” Kennamer said. “Wild game is healthier, and pursuing it is not only a chance to get outside and exercise, but it’s an activity that can be done with the whole family most of the time without ever leaving your home county.”

The NWTF is a national nonprofit conservation organization that was founded in 1973 and has worked with wildlife agencies to restore wild turkey populations from 1.3 million wild turkeys to nearly 7 million today. Now, NWTF’s volunteers raise funds and work daily to improve critical wildlife habitat, increase access to public hunting land and introduce new people to the outdoors and hunting.

For recipes that can be made with local meats and ingredients for Thanksgiving or any time, visit www.nwtf.org/flyinghigh/thanksgiving_recipes.html .

9 Reasons to Hunt Locally and Eat Your Catch
by James Earl Kennamer, Ph.D., senior vice president of conservation programs for the National Wild Turkey Federation

1) Wild game is all-natural. For example, wild turkeys feast on acorns, grasses, fruits and a variety of other plants instead of growth hormones or supplements, which are fed to many farm-raised turkeys.

2) Hunting and eating local food promotes regional uniqueness. You can buy frozen foods anywhere, but locally harvested wild game such as a turkey, deer, elk or fish will have a flavor all its own.

3) Heading outdoors to hunt and fish is great family time. Enjoying the outdoors as a family provides opportunities to mentor youth, carry on the outdoor tradition and create memories to last a lifetime.

4) Wild game is healthier. Because wild game scavenges in the wild for its own food, it gets more exercise than animals raised for commercial sale and is lower in fat. For example, wild turkey meat has roughly 2 percent more protein, a half percent less fat and slightly less cholesterol than farm-raised turkey meat due to its lower fat content. The quantity of fat is not only generally lower in wild game, but it is also healthier, since it contains less saturated or “bad” fat.

5) Hunting stimulates your local economy. Every dollar you spend while hunting and fishing in your area helps support not only hunt-specific jobs like meat processors and hunting guides, but also area businesses such as gas stations, restaurants and grocery stores.

6) Hunting supports wildlife conservation efforts. License fees purchased by hunters and anglers fund conservation programs that help state agencies continue improving conditions for all wildlife and access to the outdoors.

7) Hunting locally saves money. You don’t have to travel far to enjoy a day outdoors and harvest your own wild game. Times are tough, but chances are likely there is a spot nearby where you can hunt, fish or enjoy a day outdoors, saving gas money and time and decreasing pollution.

8.) Wild game is more flavorful. Eating just-caught fish or fresh venison after proper processing will let you enjoy its natural flavor at the peak of freshness – minus any artificial flavorings or preservatives.

9) Heading outdoors is good exercise. You can burn 285 calories per hour by heading afield to hunt, or 175 calories per hour by casting a line – and you can hunt or fish near home. -
- This is an estimate of the calories a person weighing 125 pounds will burn. Generally, to maintain your weight, the amount of calories you take in should equal the amount you burn. To lose one U.S. pound, you must burn 3,500 more calories than you take in as food.   www.healthstatus.com
