Meatgistics Podcast: Talking With Brett Walton

Tex_77 Lol why wouldn’t you trust my fish?! I don’t eat them either though, just because I want to catch them again, not because the water is dirty or anything!
Jonathon When I was about 5 years old grandpa said “this is the last time I show you how to gut a fish.” I told him “it’s catch and release for me grandpa!” He then told me that he looks forward to catching “every fish twice.” I like that theory. I won’t harvest any animal unless I “need” it.

Tex_77 Accurate but I have always thought that freshwater fish is average at best. The few times I’ve gotten to go deep sea fishing I have kept what I caught but fresh just isn’t worth the hassle to me.
The one thing I am interested in is trying some carp…I know that sounds weird but follow me here. The grass carp in my pond of obscenely large, I’d estimate the largest one I have seen to be about 4 feet or so and in the 30 lb range. Seriously when I scare them away from the bank it looks like an alligator tail swimming away! Anyway, I cannot get them to bite so I am considering a bow with a reel and if I do that I obviously can’t catch and release. The only thing that has stopped me is that I don’t have a reel for a bow and the police station is right behind my house and I have asked the chief and he has told me that is a good way to visit his station! Still going to do it at some point, just want to do it when I have a lot of dry-cured sausage to try to bribe my way out of trouble!

Jonathon You use dough bait to catch carp or corn. Most people don’t eat carp, as they are considered a trash fish.

YooperDog Thanks, Podcasts are a blast! Any idea what “flavor” seasoning they are using? I’m struggling for something that actually sounds like it would be good with fish outside of Cajun or Andouille
Jonathon They are pretty tight lipped or just don’t know. What I did get was the main fish is Lake Superior whitefish with a portion of Lake Superior lake trout to help with moisture retention. Salt, pepper and some seasonings and no binder. You can taste the salt & pepper, maybe a bit of cayenne and garlic and onion. The sausage is moist, but will break apart will a little effort after slicing. It is stuffed into a 30/32 collagen casing and I am assuming hot smoked until cooked, then cooled and served chilled. It is good with crackers or just to snack on, a smoky, salty fish flavor. If you like smoked fish you would probably enjoy this, no bones to pick through. Texture is a bit coarse, but then you don’t want fish paste. I am guessing that they don’t run it through a grinder. Best as I can guess it is sort of like stuffing a fish cake into a casing. Still working on the baleron process.

Want to fish with a bow? Come to Wisconsin. My three boy’s just went with another guy and his boat night fishing on the back waters of the Mississippi just a week ago. Carp are considered rough fish here and take as many as you want. I’ll have them send me the pic from their nights work and post it here. -
