Yellowtail Pepperfin (Pepper fin)
This one’s by request from Dave Dolan, a friend from southern California who just returned from 7 days on the water with a gang of misfits fishing the Royal Polaris on a trip sponsored by Let’s Talk Hook-Up.

Fred Hall Smoked Lemon-Herb Fish Pate
For all of you Fred Hall show goers. The fish is first brined, then smoked in a Camp Chef Smoke Vault at 200 degrees for 1 – 2 hours, depending on the type and thickness of the fish. If your smoked fish is alredy on the salty side, you may not need to add additional…

Wasabi and Sesame Salmon Balls
Just enough wasabi to know it’s in there, but not so much that it overpowers the salmon. As always, any wild salmon, preferably fresh, is better than farm-raised. Our Wasabi and Sesame Salmon Balls have just enough wasabi to know it’s in there, but not so much that it overpowers the salmon.

Marinated Grilled Fish
This marinade also works well with whole body fish or large fillets. If your fish tends to stick to grill, you’re not alone.
