mmm... wild dishes... arglarglargl...

so I tasted Goose strips this year... so good ... they were made by marinade in the bottled teryaki sauce overnight, then a cup of soya, a cup of oil, and I think honey garlic sauce on it ... then fried.. so good

I like my 2-3 moose steaks with some pepper and on the barB ..

Venison - I like to roast with red wine, rosemary, onion, mushrooms, and garlic ... to make the stew version just add potatoes, carrots, basil(or italian seasoning) and some rutabaga or turnip and water....

I had smokies made at Gourmart in Calgary last year, and they were great.. they also make a great addition to spaghetti sauce.

fish is made depending on the fish... trout is yummy with butter, garlic and dill, ....pickeral or bass usually egg'd, flour batter with spices, and fried - on occasion where flour was forgotten, we have used crushed chips... Pike is usually thrown back, but if necessary, soaked in milk overnight to kill fish taste, and fried like pickeral ... smelts are great smoked or fried when caught fresh.

[Davey Crocket]

Honestly folks, this is one of the yummiest threads, I've seen in awhile, I just finished eating, and am extremley HUNGRY AGAIN!!! :lol Seriously, I think we can ALL agree... finally ....on one thing..... If its wild... eat it. Eat all of it. Unbutton the jeans, and eat some more, its our Heritage... and damnit.... it tastes grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrreat!!!!!!!!!!!!!;)

[Duffy4]

You are right, there should not be any arguments on this thread.

Some years back I had a wild dish that I am not likely to have again. Grouse breast and "pickerel" cheeks, sauted' with onions in a cheese sause.

The last moose I shot, I cut the steaks extra thick. It was a young bull (well a boy moose). I'd walk right past ALBERTA BEEF to get to a med-rare BBQ moose steak like those were.

We tried BigBullAventures bulgogi recipe this evening, it is a keeper! Everyone had seconds, it's a good thing I cut up that extra pack of moose steaks. A little rice...a little veggie stir fry.... it was awesome :D

[varmitr]

add package to oil, vingar and water. soak moose portion overnite with glop in plastic bag in fridge or next to ol' lady to keep it cool..
pan fry to sear exterior of roast, put in roaster at 325 for 1 hour, them lower to 275-300F for a few more hours..1 hour per pound or so, longer.. if the skin and hair is still attached.
real good. remove pines cones, metal fragments and all guard hairs before making gravy from crud on the bottom.

[jrs]

So many ways to cook game. I make tons of soup (like Peters recipe there). Boiled 5 deer worth of bones this season. I like to add some stirfry meat as well (after browning it). Other favorites of mine include deer snitzel, deer stroganof, ginger bear (just like the chinese food dish), almond crusted pheasant (or whitefish). mmmmmmmmmm. Sounds good.

[klond16]

Dry meat brother or jerky if you will
