All my life, I have enjoyed hunting and
fishing. I have especially enjoyed preparing my bounty (and also the
fish and game given to me by friends) into favorite recipes I developed
over the years, and sharing them with friends and relatives.
On numerous occasions, individuals would
ask for recipes of certain dishes. With this cookbook, I attempted to
gather my efforts all together in one place. Since I am not a professional
chef, this is by no means intended to be a gourmet cookbook, but rather
an easy and sometimes unique way of preparing wild game and fish into
tasty dishes. For those who do not hunt and/or fish, these recipes
can easily be adapted to any meat, fowl, fish or seafood purchased at
the supermarket.
I would like to express a word of advice.
Always be extremely careful when handling food. Wash hands thoroughly
after handling meat, fish, or fowl, as well as any knives, utensils,
cutting boards or counters. Always keep foods well refrigerated, and
if in doubt - "Throw it out!" I never keep my perishable
dips for more than one week, even though they are refrigerated, because
my recipes do not contain preservatives.
Keeping fish fresh when you are fishing
should pose no problem if you always remember to have ice packs or ice
handy in a nearby cooler to collect your catch of the day. After cleaning
your catch and preparing for freezing, it would be my advice to wrap
it tightly in clear plastic wrap, then waxed freezer paper, and don't
forget to add the date. Fish can also be frozen by placing in water
(submerged completely) in a plastic bag, plastic container, or by using
a vacuum sealer. This prevents freezer burn and allows the fish to be
kept frozen for a longer time.
Happy Hunting and Fishing!
