I brought back some Blackfin Tuna from my recent trip to Venice Louisiana. My good friend Ken caught them while fishing offshore and was nice enough to share some with me. The steaks were frozen in vacuum sealed bags, but when I thawed them out I was surprised to see that instead of bright red meat, it had turned more of a brownish color. I researched this and found out that this is typical for frozen tuna unless you add CO2 or something to the bag…anyway I was confounded

It comes around once a year, and it is a mixture of fishing, food and friendships that all collide in Venice Louisiana for one of the greatest fishing trips ever. It's called Marsh Madness. Eric and Artie Cosby of Top Brass Tackle started this event 20 years ago as a way to get fishing product manufacturers and outdoor writers together to test out new product in one of the best fishing places on earth…Venice Louisiana. It has tuned into the best of the best of these type of

I decided to poach mu portion on the BBQ and it turned out great!

Great way to cook Halibut

BMO Staff Member Michael Matthews submitted our latest recipe for outdoor cooking. Michael is the lead duck hunter on the BMO staff. On a recent trip to to Oregon Coast, Michael got a mixed bag of Mallards, Pintail and Teal and decided to make duck fajitas for some friends this past weekend. Here is the recipe Ingredients: 1 clove garlic - minced 2 limes - juiced 3 tbsp olive oil 3 tbsp red onion - chopped 1/2 sliced apple 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce 1 1/2 shots tequila Sea

Here is a simple recipe that I love for salmon or steelhead. The first and most important part of this recipe is to start with a quality piece of fish. You will never get a farm raised fish to taste as good as a wild caught one, and it is even better if you can catch and prepare your own - always better than store bought. The fish we used on this recipie was caught earlier on the same day! Ingredients: 1. Truffle Salt 2. Lime flavored olive oil 3. 1 Lime 4. Cracked Pepper Fi

The BMO staff hit the lake this past Sunday to catch some Crappie and Perch for a fish fry. We were able to land 13 crappie and 19 nice perch, more than enough for a small fish fry. The purpose of this fish fry was to compare which batter mix we prefer: Cornmeal or “Pride of the West all purpose batter” I have always been partial to cornmeal, but the rest of the crew swears by “Pride of the West” We filleted the fish, rinsed them clean and I prepared the batter. For th

Teal are a fairly small duck, so there is not a lot of meat on the breast, but what is there is very tasty if cooked correctly, and can be sliced off the breast and served as a delicious appetizer over the Holiday season! Here is how a prepared mine this year. First, I take the whole breast out of the Teal.  Some like to cut the breast meat from the bone, but I feel as though you waste some of the meat that way, and with a teal, there is not much extra.  Plus I think they ar

My wife and I decided to take a vacation to the Baja California Peninsula of Mexico. We have good friends that have a beautiful property in Cabo San Lucas, and that is where we called home for the week. Cabo is known for its great fishing, but not all times of the year are great. After talking with a few reputable fishermen ( if there is such a thing ), I figured my best bet for this time of year was to target inshore fish including Wahoo, Dorado and Rooster Fish. I have
