It’s Tuna Season…Time for Poke Burgers!!!
Fall is albacore tuna time on the West Coast and that means there’s some seriously good eating coming up! While I prefer my tuna raw with some wasabi, there are a lot of other ways to prepare this amazing fish for dinner!
Like burgers, for example. Yep, you heard me…Poke Burgers are so, so good and are a great use of the scraps and trimmings!
The idea comes from my pal and uber foodie, Matt Steiger, who writes the blog The Food Lunatic. He does up his burgers with a soy-lime glaze and they are da’ bomb! Check out the Recipe here: TheFoodLunatic
Halibut & Shrimp Cakes!
Halibut & shrimp: Two great tastes that taste great together!
This one comes from our pal Scott “The Sporting Chef” Leysath, inter-galactic wild game cooking stud and co-host of the popular TV show, Hunt Fish Cook.
“This recipe works just as well with uncooked fish as it does with cooked leftovers, although the cooked fish is a bit easier to work with,” he says. “Treat the cooked, flaky halibut as you would crab meat. Make sure that it’s thoroughly dry, not soggy, before you start assembling the cakes or they will fall apart when cooked. If the fish is uncooked, finely dice with a knife or flake with the tines of a fork.”… Continue Reading

One Pan Striped Bass with Asparagus Recipe
Unless you're looking for extra fiber, it's probably best to fillet fish before cooking!
With striper season in full swing, I figured it was time to talk about one of my favorite aspects of these fish — and that’s eating ‘em! Stripers have mild, white fillets that are absolutely delicious. In fact, I have a lot of clients tell me that they like ‘em better than halibut. I’m not totally sure I’d go that far, but they’re pretty close.
To get some new ideas on how to cook ‘em up, I talked to our man, Scott “The Sporting Chef” Leysath, the world’s leading authority on cooking stuff you catch and shoot (and also co-host of the popular TV show Hunt Fish Cook and he suggested his super easy One Pan Striper with Asparagus recipe.
“This one’s quick, easy, colorful and only requires a big skillet or wok and a handful of fresh ingredients,” he says. “When asparagus isn’t in season, substitute any green vegetable like broccoli, sugar snap peas or green beans. Check out your local Asian market for the best price on fresh vegetables!”… Continue Reading
How to Cook Trout with Herb Vinaigrette
It all starts here...
I caught a mess o’ trout recently and, while I typically release most of them, I decided to keep a couple for dinner this time around. I usually just wrap the fish in foil, add some lemon, butter, pepper and garlic and throw it on the barbie…you really can’t go wrong with that method…but I was just in the mood for something different. So, I checked in with our resident master game and fish chef, Scott Leysath.
Leysath, co-host of the popular TV show,“Hunt-Fish-Cook,” suggested doing the trout with a herb vinaigrette. He said you can bake, broil or pan-fry trout this way, but his favorite method is to throw it on the grill. Anyway, here’s how to impress your family, friends and taste buds: … Continue Reading

Grilled Soy & Sesame Striper
Spring is striper time out here on the West Coast (out East too!) and, in addition to being a really sporty fish to chase around with rod and reel, they’re damn tasty.
Striper flesh is firm and white — it’s a really a user-friendly fish that takes well to many cooking styles. While rolling striper chunks into beer batter and dropping them into a boiling cauldron of cholesterol is a my favorite way to cook it up, a much more artery-friendly approach is to grill it Asian style.
Scott “The Sporting Chef” Leysath, co-host of the popular cable show HuntFishCook shows us how…
