I think you have all bases well covered!

Since it's an election year I'm voting for trying that salmon/dill method as soon as I return from POW! Can I bring alder home on the plane?

There is no magic in alder, damn good smoke, but mild and easy to match with maples, a little apple, or beech.

All three is even better, BTW.

I've got plenty of apple and pecan wood.

The only beech is my air rifle stock.

Yeah, we love tacos too !

With coleslaw & a spicy/tangy mayo dressing. Fresh limes on the side.

No fresh salmon available here, but I bet that compound butter would be the bomb in our foil parcels !

I've used the compound butter with halibut, it was excellent. The thing with good fresh fish is you really don't need to add much seasoning to it: salt, pepper, bit of lemon or lime and you're gtg. Also try adding some sesame oil, love that stuff but don't get carried away.

Shouldn't be a problem bringing alder on the plane. For me it's just as much the smell of alder as the taste, and to me it's one of the best smelling woods to burn.

I'm kinda partial to these guys in the summer.

When fresh off the boat isn't fresh enough

Spots do not suck!!!!!!!!!!!!

Any fresh ocean/estuary prawns do not suck.

Grew up eating fresh ocean king & tiger prawns & the smaller, but sweeter, banana prawns from the estuaries on the east coast of Queensland.

Cracked black pepper, squeeze of fresh lemon & buttered white bread ='s treasured childhood memories.

Same treatment for the succulently sweet blue swimmer crab sammiches !!

This is definitely inspiring me to grill more fish this season.

Thought of another way we do it too !

Last night;

Thai yellow curry, with walleye & shrimp!

Oh gawd, not curry...!

This curried shrimp recipe is a good one, made some last week:

I make a few tweaks, fresh ginger, bump the coriander to 1/2T and add 1/2T cumin.

Now, I wish I'd taken pictures of my buddy deep frying some pickerel on his deck last week.
Some Newfoundland batter and just awesome puffy.

Wrapped and cooked over charcoal or in the oven til bacon is crisp? Can be done either way. Those were in the oven, under the broiler. These were from the thick shoulder section of some larger Walleye fillets. Cut into "roughly" round, bacon width pieces.

The bowl of fish pieces with minced garlic . .
Combined and then simply cooked in a pan/skillet til done?Fish & shrimp par cooked in skillet with butter, then sauce (President's Choice Thai Yellow Curry) added & finished in same skillet.
