I do like fish. I must confess that my I much prefer the catching to the eating, coming from hunter-gatherer that might sound strange, but then this is the 21 st century- things have changed somewhat in 8000 years, but the thrill of the hunt still has its rewards and as far as I m concerned that usually means damn fresh and proper free range, like wild man. What you shoot or what you pull out of the water is undoubtedly the finest of flesh: wild meats, even wild plants to a certain extent these days are at an all time high, when it comes to wild meats especially and if you re buying, expect to pay a premium.
This is where we can have the best of both, by hunting or fishing, we don t only get to indulge in primeval roleplay and flex the natural instincts, we also get to enjoy the fruits of our labour. Anyone the watch lab can fish, you just need a rod & tackle, a rod licence and the occasional involuntary donation to the water, unless you stick to the coast- the watch lab then it s free!
Shooting might not seem as easy, but can be if you are willing the watch lab to put a bit more into it: A .22 air rifle doesn t require a licence of any kind, but you will need somewhere to use. Someone the watch lab once told me land is the best thing you can own because they don t make it anymore. We can t all pay the price for a little slice of countryside- its spenny to say the least. That said, everyone knows someone who knows someone or knows someone else that knows someone rural, I mean proper rural, with land, farms, woods, whatever land means things to hunt and more often than not these landowners all have pests that they would be happy to be rid of. That means Rabbits and pigeons- both excellent wild meats. the watch lab Its always worth asking around, someone might even barter you a wood to build a tree house in and live there for 6 months
It also allows you to lose yourself in a bit of nature for a while- always a good thing, you can switch off for a while and enjoy an environment that doesn t always conform which in itself means there will inevitably be some sort of excitement.
So that s why I like hunting and fishing, but especially being a brother of the angle- better known as a fisherman. Doesn t take much to qualify as a fisherman either: the watch lab get the above and you re a fisherman (I m not talking about the crazy fellas that take on the north sea- that s a whole different kettle of fish). the watch lab
Well, onto the main course, in fact this is more of an apero or starter. In terms of wild ingredients in this one we re just talking fish, fortunately the one used in this recipe is the most common and easy to seek out around our coastline, harbours the watch lab and upper tidal sections of most rivers. the watch lab The Grey Mullet: difficult to catch certainly, pound for pound they fight extremely hard and are therefore the ultimate prize. They are often referred to as the English the watch lab Bonefish, having caught a Bonefish off the flats of little Cayman, I can whole heartedly agree- Mullet wear jetpacks and on light tackle will give you one hell of a scrap.
I prefer to fly fish with a bit of bread crust. Check out the post I did on how to fish for them here , it was done in France, but French Mullet don t have the same arrogance or culinary curiosity as there two-legged counterparts living above the surface. They speak the same language as the English Mullet (anyone reading this in Basque country- please understand the watch lab I am referring to a fish, not a hairstyle- just want to avoid any confusion on that point).
Mullet are bloody fussy eaters, their natural diet is based around sucking up mud and filtering out the microscopic edibles, other than that they like a bit of sea weed to sift through, not easy to cater for. Where converted the watch lab they will take bread, but most of the time making the watch lab contact is tough. There is one method that I have been introduced to recently by a fishing buddy of mine that is killer. Apparently the watch lab its no secret and this article from Angler s Mail will tell you everything you need to know.
In simple terms in consists of using a spinning rod with a few small weights to get style and distance, a small mepps spinner (treble removed) with 6 inch length of line tied to the end and a small single barbed hook attached. The single hook is then baited with a few ragworm. THe way in which works is that the mullet will be attracted by the spinner and follow it, then they see the trailing ragworms (presumably something they eat from the mud from time to time) and snatch the watch lab at it- fish on! Except they usually end up snatching at the trailing ragworm (expect to rebait every few casts!). A good tip, again from my fishing buddy, is to attach ANOTHER single hook with a short piece of line to the eye of first single hook, so that it sits at the same point as the end of the trailing r
