My Fresh Caught Fish Recipe

**Usmorlans.com** · 05-21-2006, 09:11 AM

Here is my favorite way to eat the fish we catch in and around Trinidad. This was taken from my boy scout adventures in the 60's in Trinidad and I am not sure but think it is attributed to Florie Massarotti but I may be wrong. It was the 60's and it was a long time ago but I have always remembered this.
Take your cleaned fish...head on or off...depends on if there are girls there or not (teehee) [}:)] Anyway...On a large enough sheet of oil sprayed aluminum foil to completely double wrap the fish in; put the fish on the foil and open it up and insert one green onion white side toward the tail and tucked in, one slice of THICK bacon, one piece of asparagus...head faces the tail like the onion, A tablespoon or so of olive oil drizzled over all or butter if you desire and a little sprinkle of garlic salt and pepper. Wrap it all up in the foil by making a pouch that folds shut by little 1/2 inch folds on all 4 sides. When you have finished it will be a rectangle with 4 folded in sides. You want the fish to not be pressed in but to have room to steam inside the envelope you made. Now if camping toss it in to the hot coals for about 6-8 minutes on a side. Watch out it may leak when you flip it...open and enjoy! On the grill it takes a little longer. In the oven at 475.
Going to Monument to do just this this week!
Ciao,
Pete

Hope you catch alot of fish Pete. My daughter and I wish that we were going with you. We were just taking about going fishing yesterday. She graduated in Littleton yesterday from Branson online and it was beautiful. Nice lake there and we thought how nice it would be to fish. We are planning on renting a motorhome this summer and coming up here to fish. I hope that we have good luck. threelazyl

I am jealous. I want to go to Monument this weekend. We will be there next month though. Can't wait. It is so beautiful. I enjoyed the post card of the hatchery.

Glad you are feeling better USMORLANS. You always provide so much information on this site, everyone misses you when you are gone.

I will also try the fish recipe.

I will have to try this recipe. It sounds delicious. I am always looking for new recipes.

I like to fish as well. AFrush and I try to go fishing when we visit my family in Trinidad. I prefer streams but we usually end up at Trinidad Lake. Fine by me - fresh air and scenery!

We are going fishing this weekend with some old pals. We were going to camp but the weather has become a little rough for that. That storm we had last night was really hard on the town. There are broken windows and trees all over town. The wind blew like a tornado while it was hailing. Tore up all the trees. The fish recipe came from by boy scout days...Florie Massarotti our leader in the 60s's and beyond is where I believe this recipe came from.

Actually that was Cardos recipe, I just helped him eat it. ?THe cat fish were from central Park. And you missed a step or two. Dig a hole in your front yard. Start a fire with some pine cones, sticks, and dead grass, stick that sucker on a stick, eat whether it is done or not.
