Juan did a buddy fishing trip to get some fish to take to his family in GN...so he, Juan Carlos, Kevin and David set out on this mission even though it was somewhat cloudy. They braved the cold and squalls but brought home the booty!

They got into some nice whitefish which makes delicious fillets, lots of nice bonita, calico and yellowtail...limited out and had a great guy day to boot!
Let them eat FISH!

Hola Shari,

How do you like to prepare the Bonita?

Curt

We LOVE bonita here...makes a fabulous "tuna salad" for sandwiches or on crackers. I just boil the filets, squeeze the water out and make it with onions, celery, tomato chopped fine, pickles and mayo and rock and roll! Also is great for fish machaca type burritos...with little cubed potatoes and veggies.

Bonita makes good sushi too...

Yum. I love catching those fightin little devils.

Now I'll boil em up

Thanks


Any other recipes/preparations out there?

Brrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

smoked bonita is very tasty - use "three men fish brine" recipe on web

Wow! Does that place EVER turn off?? Nice Yellowtail for February!

Udo - 2-4-2010 at 10:22 PM

I don't think BA EVER turns off!

And during El Niņo years it gets even better. Right Shari?

shari - 2-5-2010 at 06:58 AM

seems that way Udo....we had an epic fishing season in the fall catching more species that were rare for here...wahoo, dorado and even a marlin!! The coops are worried about En Niņo conditions this year because it can wreak havoc on the abalone production in our area. So the plan is to start ab season very early this year....as soon as lobster finishes at the end of february...so Juan better hurry up and get the rock arches on the patio done...maybe I'll go wake him up right now!!! crack the whip...no more fun fishing for you my man...back to the rock pile!

shari, Thanks for the pictures and the fishing report.:bounce:

shari - 2-6-2010 at 07:20 AM

bajacat...woo hoo....that would be awesome! We can show you some killer trails to get stuck on! Most likely yellowtail will be gone but ya never know...still lots of calico etc...plus abalone season will be happening.
I took some of your advice and allowed Juan to set out this morning with su tio Javier, david and juan carlos and a cooler full of Tecate in search of some big yellowtail...sashimi for lunch anyone?

Just like the other can with the "Puss 'n Boots" label. Bonita is only fit for human consumption when smoked. :fire:

Cypress - 2-6-2010 at 10:23 AM

Place chunks of Bonita in a jar, pint or quart, put a few drops of liquid smoke seasoning, a spoon or two of brown sugar and whatever other seasoning you like in the jar. Follow the directions for canning fish. It's good.:yes:
