Thanks dood! In the camp downtime and in between building new cabins, I've been luckily to hop in the kitchen with 2 red seal chefs(they any allowed me in because our talks about food lol)

 

It's crazy here, everything from scratch and fresh food brought in for the ladies to work with daily.

 

My cooking skills are 10 fold in a month or so lol

The lodge itself is very NW ontario, so not high end. 

 

But the cooking is super high end. 3 of the young ladies are red seal chefs and when I'm not doing maintenance or guiding, I hop in the kitchen  and cook with them.

 

The food is UNREAL DOUG

[manitoubazz]

That last pic is just some leftovers I smashed together for lunch today lol and it's still amazing

This is the food we eat, lol, it's even better for the guests.

Sometimes it works that we eat the same menu as the guests however.

And me and Doug have had breakfast together at the emo Inn. Where breakfast is served with a side of hair! Lol

First ski of the year landed by my fishing buddy Derrick. 46" and boy did we have a hard time landing it. 

 

We were not prepared for musky. We were just jigging walleye on a ledge (23fow -40fow)

 

Great fish!

 

At some point I bashed my shin off a seat or the edge of the tinny lol

[akaShag]

Hey Rick!  This is a cooking thread, I was looking forward to your muskie recipe!  😲

Dessert from last night

[Spiel]

First time buying Prawns, a quick marinade in lime juice, a dash of chili flakes and onto the grill next to the Asparagus.
Served over some  fried Basmati Rice with veggies. I'll do it again. 😉

A couple of days ago I took my 5 wt and my Vizsla up to a favourite creek in North Frontenac. The Mayfly hatch was in full swing, and I was fortunate enough to have a few Brookies sip on my Adams.

Usually, I'll pan fry, grill or hot smoke Brook Trout...but since I was having a couple of buddies over to watch the game tonight, I decided to make Gravlax as a snack, which I haven't made in awhile. Gravlax is Scandinavian cured fish, typically made with Salmon, but Trout works perfectly well too. It's like a cross between cold smoked fish and sashimi...there's no cooking, just the cure. The fillets are heavily coated in salt, sugar, dill and Aquavit (a spicy gin/vodka from Norway). The process takes place in the fridge, under the weight of a brick to squeeze out the moisture. It typically takes 24 to 48 hours depending on the thickness of the fillets. Once cured, it's easy to cut the fillets into very thin slices with a sharp knife.

I'm serving it with some baby greens from my garden, lemon, Vidalia onion, capers, toasted rye bread, and a dressing of sour cream, dill and Dijon mustard.

I'm not an Oiler fan, but it would be nice to see the Cup finally return to Canada...hopefully the tornadoes don't interfere with my reception up here..

[akaShag]

Looks awesome!

I used to make gravlox (I spell it with an o, like lox) with brown trout fillets, but it has been a very long time since I caught a brown.  Or a brookie, for that matter...

Headed to Loughborough today for a week, yeehaw!  When we are not bass fishing or playing cards, the 4 amigos eat like kings.  I am introducing them to smoked sprats, thanks to you!
