Cooking With LSP - Striper



Yeah, 'cooking with LSP.' Some kind of joke? On the contrary, here's how it's done. Today's the Feast of St. John Chrysostom but it's also a Friday, which means you can't eat meat. Problem. Solution? Cook up some fish, obviously. Watch my tracer.


Boat

First step, catch the fish. Get in a boat and surge out into the lake, then put your rod over the side and haul in amazing Striper. Keep doing that till you've caught your limit and head back to shore, job well done. Watch in amazement as the guide cleans the fish in a fraction of the time it'd take you to do. 


News

Second step, cook the fish. How? Here's one method and it's as easy as the DNC blocking Tulsi Gabbard. Wash a monster Striper filet in the sink, pat it dry, salt the fish, and congratulate yourself on sticking to mission while you have a glass of the right stuff. 


Shoot the Fish?

Maybe that's water, maybe it's not, your call. Whatever, don't waste time, cut the filet in half with a sharp knife, sharp as a clean Brexit from the EU.


Pan Sear

Well done, you've gone far, but there's still a way to go. Put some olive oil and butter in a frying pan and heat it up, medium high. As the oil begins to smoke like an Inspector General's report ready to go critical, add the fish to the pan. Listen in wonder as it sizzles.


Not Perfect But Tasty As You Like

Fry for about four minutes a side depending on the thickness of the filet, your goal is a crispy, golden brown exterior and firm, succulent, flaky interior. That achieved or approximated to, crack some pepper over the fish and serve with lemon and some kind of vegetable. Don't say Beto.

Third step. Fall on your scoff like a warrior.

Fish on,

LSP

Delicious!

And well commented, Parson.

I hope that they had a chair for you on the stripper boat. The chair dance alone could lure the fish to jump in the boat to join the fun.

Nothing like fish. And while Glock is good, I do prefer other seasonings.

Fishing and a great meal! What's not to like?

Adrienne said...

That fish looks so good. I particularly like the part where the boat person cleans it for you (I don't clean fish.)

Nice chuck o fish! :-)

Kid said...

Sounds a very nice meal.

I will say I prefer the safety system on the Springfield-Armory. Slide on the back engaged when holding the pistol normally as well as the activator on the trigger. Holding the pistol turns off the safety. fwiw. XDM and XDS are nice models.

One must wonder how long that Maxwell female has to live, and maybe that's already been taken care of. In fact that would be my bet.

It was real tasty, drjim! I have more in the freezer too, bonus.

LSP said...

LL, hold on. It was STRIPER not STRIPPER. I know, seems similar but is, in fact, quite different.

Speaking of which, what's happened to Stormy, the Pimp, and Creepy Porn Lawyer? Stormy was a Republican, curiously.

I know, many do, Jim. I need to expand the repertoire, to be honest, and add a 1911 and some wheel gun action to the armoury (Glock, Berretta PX4, 38 special in the pistol department...).

LSP said...

I think fresh fish is great, Linda, and all the better when you've caught it yourself.

LSP said...

Adrienne, me too. I can do it but I'm not that fast, better when the boat does it!

LSP said...

So tasty, NFO. And easy too, result.

I like the XDS, Kid. Mind you, I like most firearms, so. Then there's Ghislaine. She, and everything else Eppy, seems to have gone very quiet lately. Go figure.

The fish was great, life-giving.
