You might remember a few months ago when I told about my husband’s fishing trip. He caught a lot of large fish. His fishing trip was fun, restful and enabled him to put several bags of bluegill in the refrigerator. Therein lies the problem. The fish are yummy but the only way I know how to cook them is to fry them. We are trying to eat healthier and fried foods are a no no. Does anyone know how to bake or grill bluegill?

My husband knows how to grill large fish. In fact, grilled salmon is one of his best dishes and one of my favorite foods. Do you have a special recipe that you use to grill salmon? Friends love to be invited to our house when hubby fixes salmon on the grill. He uses a secret concoction of spices along with lemon and it is mouthwatering delicious. It is so good that he should really enter his recipe in the Great American Seafood cook off. He would love to get down and dirty and show his stuff! Wouldn’t that be fun! We could have t-shirts made up that say, “fishermen have skill with the grill”. Seriously, there is no better source of nutrition than seafood from here in the US. You know that it is fresh and delicious when it comes from our nation’s marine fisheries.

Don’t miss the Fifth Annual Great American Seafood Cook-Off Aug 2-3 in New Orleans! Cheer on the great chefs as they show what stuff they are made of. There will be cooking demonstrations and challenges as chefs battle in the culinary challenge of the century.
