Catch and Cook: Sushi and Surf and Turf

As promised, we're going to the next level of shore lunch - catch and cook: sushi and surf and turf. One of our favourite parts of a fishing trip is finding new ways to prepare yummy fresh fish.

These are a couple of our go-to meals. They're not perfect yet but definitely pretty easy and super delicious. There is something about cooking steak and fish on a stick over a campfire that makes me feel closer to reality. The sushi could look complicated if you haven't done it before but if you've practiced it at home its just as easy out at camp. Be sure to try the raw trout sashimi, its a delicacy and yet it seems that not many people are doing it.

ling cod, or burbot, are caught in sets, or set lines. This type of fishing is always exciting as your imagination is constantly hooking giant bottom dwellers at all times of day. The set lines are very simple: a big hook on a steel leader, a 1-2lb weight and a long surface line attached to a float. Anyone can do it!

A big inspiration for these videos has been Tacu of Outdoor Chef Life https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCNqpN335uVY9Sx_ZK_WuOAA, check out his channel, he seems like a terrific guy and certainly makes some fantastic beach fare.
