Wild Caught food
on 2/1/16 1:23 pm
So my grandpa who is an avid fisher/hunter (we live in Idaho and it's a huge passion for most here) caught a ton of Kokanee also known as Sockeye salmon this fall with one of his fishing buddies. He gave me several pounds individually filleted and wrapped in that press and seal wrap. I know what I'll be eating a ton of for the next few weeks. So good. If you live in an area where fishing or hunting is a huge pass time (even if you don't enjoy it) befriend a fisherman/hunter. They will give you the most wonderful natural fresh foods even. Shame I don't like venison (it's too gamey tasting for me) because he was ready to give me some venison steaks too. What is your guys and gals favorite wild caught food? Do you hunt/fish?
I do not hunt or fish but I have to say that elk is my favorite meat ever! I've also heard good things about reindeer but haven't had the opportunity to try it.
As for fish, fresh wild trout cannot be beat IMO.

I've never had elk! It's kinda hard to get an elk tag (from what I understand it' a drawing type scenario) and while my dad and my grandpa have both had elk tags before they have never gotten one. But I agree wild trout is delicious! Also bass (which I've only personally caught once myself) is amazing too!

Totally random perhaps, but there's a Cabela's in Post Falls with a restaurant inside. They have elk burgers, which are awesome. They also have buffalo, which is really good and doesn't taste gamey at all!

White Dove you're a lady after my own heart if it swims/lives in a body of water I love eating it. I did grow up eating venison, but I was always made to eat it and when I got old enough to make my own food choices I would always choose against it. If I could afford to exist solely on seafood/fish I would.

Being turned into a sausage makes almost everything better!

I have sad sausage in the past that was 50% venison 50% pork that wasn't too bad but it just isn't my taste overall. But glad you like it!
I've only had venison once, many, many years ago, so don't even remember if I liked it or not. My favorite wild caught foods are abalone, salmon and dungeness crab. My summers in Oregon as a kid made me appreciate all of those wonderful ocean foods.
