Poor Man's Lobster (cusk)
Ingredients:

fresh cusk (burbot, ling, lawyers, eelpout etc..)
water
salt
red wine vinegar
garlic
butter

This is probably the easiest thing we've ever cooked, in fact it's so easy we feel silly even writing the recipe. But here goes, boil some water, add some salt and red wine vinegar (just a little) and let it boil for a minute. Add the cusk, it's recommended that you cut the cusk into 1inch pieces, but ours were so small that we just threw in the filets. Let that boil for two minutes.

While the cusk is boiling, in a seperate pan melt some butter and garlic.

You'll know the cusk is done when it's tender and looks terrible. But don't be deceived, this is going to be great! Serve hot, and eat it by dipping it in hot melted butter and garlic.

If you've done it right it will taste somewhat like lobster, if you've done it wrong, it will still taste somewhat like lobster. If you can boil water you can't mess this up!
Enjoy

We cooked and ate the Fallfish yesterday
We decided to make fish cakes, partly because we were afraid of the taste of this fish and partly because we had the right ingredients.... So here is the recipe you've been waiting for!

Ingredients:

Fallfish
Garlic Powder
Salt
Onion
Celery
Ritz crackers
Oil
Egg

Clean and gut the fish leaving the head and skin on.

Spray the foil with non-stick cooking spray. Add the fish and dust it with garlic powder and salt.

Roll the fish in the foil and put it in the oven at 400 degrees for about 20 minutes. (there is no need to preheat)

Unwrap the fish and let it cool, it should smell really good now but it will be a little slimy.

Saute onion and celery in hot oil and set it aside

Pull the fish meat off the bone and separate it from the skin.
Don't worry about a few bones getting mixed in

Stick the fish, a few Ritz crackers, a little bit of egg, and the onions and celery in a blender and blend until it's a pile of mush. If you are doing this correctly it should look awful!
