Meatgistics Podcast: Talking With Brett Walton

[Austin]

PapaSop Yep, that is the new mixer in the back!!!

[YooperDog]

Good podcast!!! Enjoyed the banter along with learning about Walton’s history. Congratulations on your company’s longevity.

Local fish shop here makes a smoked fish sausage about brat diameter, probably could go a little larger for a slicing size, actually pretty good.

[Jonathon]

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

[YooperDog]

Jonathon it is a pretty mild sausage with a nice smoke. I think it is made with Lake Superior whitefish and I have hade some good salmon sausage up in AK and tasty jerky from a fresh fish shop in Wisconsin on Lake Michigan, I think it was call Salmon Candy. I am going to head up to that way today and see what I can find out, maybe grab a section along with something fresh to grill up tonight. I will let you know what I can find out.

[JLeinard]

I think fish/seafood cold-cuts would be awesome !!!

[YooperDog]

Maybe some folks that live on the coasts that have access to fresh seafood my have some fish houses that might produce some type of local specialty sausage. Bueller,. Bueller…

[Tex_77]

Jonathon you need to source your fish fresh, don’t be buying it from a store. Maybe a Meatgistics fishing trip is in order?

[YooperDog]

I have to go with Austin on biscuits. I make a sandwich with English muffins but only make it with Canadian bacon. Biscuits work great with sausage and bacon. I never even thought about putting cheese in my breakfast sausage🤯. How did that not even occur to me. Twenty pounds of butts in fridge some of it is going to get cheesed.

[JLeinard]

YooperDog Absolutly…biscuits!!

[Tex_77]

Biscuits are the best!

[Jonathon]

Biscuits ARE NOT best, English muffins are better for breakfast sandwiches, I’ll never change my mind on this! Meatgistics fishing trip sounds good to me, we are going to do that meet up sometime this year (hopefully) and we could do a cookout/fishing thing at my house. I have a decent fishing pond in my backyard. It’s not gonna yield a fish every 10 casts but what you do catch is usually of good size. Record so far is 6 or 7 lb large mouth (can’t remember) and there are big catfish and ridiculous sized grass carp!

[Tex_77]

Jonathon I’m not sure I would trust the fish coming out of your pond as safe to eat. Does Austin have a pond on his estate?

[JPAP]

Doing some kind of Meat Up would be an awesome event. I would definitively be interested in attending that.
Good people, Good food, Good times!

[Austin]

Tex_77 I do not have a pond on my “estate”… If I had a full “estate”, I’m sure I would have a fishing pond though!

[Jonathon]

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!

[Tex_77]

Jonathon because your pond is filled with run off water, and who knows what that may have in it. I prefer spring feed ponds, with grain feed fish.

[PapaSop]

Tex_77
Don’t come up north to fish then. Run off water goes into every lake, stream and river. Hasn’t killed anybody here. It’s a pretty natural process. Most every source has springs and feeds into or off every type of fishing environment.

[Jonathon]

Tex_77 Have you been spying on me again?! We talked about this!

[Tex_77]

I know nothing!

[Joe Hell]

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.
