Catching your own food, what do you eat and how?

Fellow Blades, my inner urge to catch my own meal has forced me to start this thread. For years now I have wanted to catch a fish and cook it. Im now seeing threads were people are morel mushroom hunting, or even eating bugs (bahookajoe ) If I can catch a fish Il wrap it in aluminum foil with butter, lemon, seasonings, ... and let it cook over a fire. As far as morels go, after cleaning id drop them on the cast iron skillet over the mini propane stove with some butter and what not. Cant wait to camp and prepare a delicious, free, outdoor meal. What do you all like to eat outdoors and how do you go about preparing it?

Sounds good! .. what kind of fish? Ive eaten largemouth bass, catfish, never trout kinda weird, perch, salmon, yellow tail tuna,thresher shark, leopard shark, thats about it .. caught them all myself except the yellow and the thresher.. the thresher sticks out the most but all really good...

^Sounds like you have ate some tasty fish! Il eat whatever I can catch, most likely a bass or catfish.

During the proper months, I enjoy Littleneck clams and mussels.

Nothing better than a fresh-cooked fish straight from the water and still flipping when tossed on the grill!

A couple of my favorite edible wild plants are Purslane and Sow Thistle. Both are delicious. Purslane has an interesting habit of tasting tart and tangy in the early morning, and then the flavor changes to a more spinach-y flavor. Sow thistle is great fresh in a salad! Just catch yourself a fish, gather some of these plants, and you've got a great REALLY healthy meal.

Since I do most of my fishing around the beach, there are usually BBQ pits for me to cook my fish on. usually there is a group of people nice enough to allow you to cook your fish.

Miss living up in santa cruz... so many hippies, outdoor type of people! Know all this shit .. to many liberals though!

Just dug out my fishing pole and equipment, gathering some buddies to hit up a late in the next few days! Isnt there a rule that you should only eat fish and animals atleast 30min outside a city or do you just have to know what to look for?

The Mt Goats in the High highlands make scrumptious vittles, very good eating/
I have even eaten wolf as they are the natural preditors of the flock.
Must say it was very Gamey and tough, but kazooks I was starving and the ale is to die for My grandma still brews and it is fine.

Wow, I could never eat a wolf. They eat some disgusting things, like their own poop.

They also have a highly advanced digestive system which neutralizes almost all germs and microbial life forms

One time i shot a squirrell skinned it and cooked it then ate it. I let it soak in teriyaki sauce and then bbq'd it. Didnt taste bad, kind of like pork.

My great grandparents use to eat squirrel, possums, raccoon, fox, pretty much anything... I'd like me some bbq squirrel on a stick anyday!

I just moved to Savannah GA and live less than a mile from a fishing pier. I got myt fishing license a month ago and since then almost everyday I have gone fishing or crabbing with great success and the meals are to die for. So far we've(me and my gf) caught Whiting, Trout, Croakers, Spots and Bluefish. There are many other fish out there as well these are just the ones we've caught so far. She bakes them in foil with salt pepper and lemon(sometimes with a little soy sauce). The other day we made fish tacos and with tsmall pieces left over I made ceviche which is a Peruvian dish that is basically raw but marinated in lime juice and hot peppers which cures the meat(very tasty). Blue crab are also very easy to catch here we buy ring baskets from walmart for $2 and tie chicken necks on them and catch 2-4 everytime we go out. They are savory and sweet at the same time we boil them in old bay onions pepper garlic and salt. The other day we went out after tropical storm bethel and caught 14 crabs in 2 hours. We both love catching our own food. We also will collect periwinkles(small snails) which are very tasty and healthy. I like to cook mine in white wine with spicy Italian sausage and she likes them boiled and dips them in butter. All of this is readily available. We moved down from Raleigh NC for work and we are definitely sold on the salt life. If there are any hunters in my area I would love to meet up. I know wild boar are very prevalent here as well as deer and I will definitely be trying my hand in some hunting this coming season. Also if you are a fisherman or a local in Savannah hit me up we are new to the area and are looking for friends and contacts.

crawfish!! set a trap in the swamp with some stinky bait:smoke:

yeah i think im going out this weekend to get some crayfish and maybe some other shit to eat.
