Rainbows

So I caught a couple of rainbows today, but just released them cause I don't know how to make them into something tasty with no bones... is there a way?  Or am I just gonna be giving them stories to tell the other fish?

Depends on how big they are as to what I do with them.  If they're small, say under 12" or so, I usually just gut and decapitate them and then grill them wrapped in aluminum foil with a little oil, herbs/spices as I feel like, and maybe a slice of lemon.  Once cooked the skin peels right off, and the bones come out super easy.

Larger than 12" or so and they can be filleted just like a salmon. 

The backbone, and nearly all of the ribs, can easily be lifted out once cooked.  I like the skin, and often coat the fish in whole wheat flour prior to pan frying in light olive oil.  I rub the inside (after the aforementioned gut and decapitate method) with Murray River pink salt, white pepper, and a squirt of lime.  When the bones exit the cooked body, all asthetics disappear.  I deal with this by shredding it ala pork with two forks.  Shred - with skin - onto cooked red quinoa garnished with green onions. 

It seems pretentious, but the pink salt is worth the efoort.  It kind of melts and dissolves a bit into the flesh.

You can also make a faux miso butterfish and shred over white rice garnished with nori or furikake.

You need the Wunder Boner!



           ok, maybe not

 

 

I think I'll get my wife a Wunder Boner. Oh, Sweetie!

True

That is one of the funniest things I have seen in awhile.  My wife is in the background right now just shaking her head.  I believe she said, this is proof that boys never grow up.

3 guys sitting in front of a tent around a campfire raving about the Wonder Boner.

I thought that infomercial was going to go "BrokeBack" on us.
