Trout with morels is a classic springtime combo; you can often find the two in the same trip! Simple, pan-fried trout with bacon, morels and onions.
Fish
Barbecued Fish
Most people don’t think you can make barbecued fish. You can. Slow and low over smoky heat is actually an ideal way to cook any fish.
East African Fish Stew
A recipe for fish stew inspired by the flavors of East Africa: fish, shrimp, vegetables, coconut milk and a touch of curry.
Crab Curry
A zippy, easy-to-make curry that works with any sort of crab.
Chasing Lightning
Chasing steelhead is about much more than fillets on the grill. It is about taming lightning. It is about the pursuit of wildness within us.
Pike Soup
Northern pike make an excellent soup fish, as they are lean, white and firm — and, when you fillet them, you often get odd-shaped pieces that work well cut into soup bits. This is my take on Northern pike soup, done Manitoba style.
Icelandic Salmon Soup
A Nordic take on salmon soup. Chunks of salmon or trout, served with potatoes, cream, dill and, if you have it, whey.
