The Clamdigger In Me

The Clamdigger In Me

One of the fondest memories of my early years in Beach Haven, NJ...was treading for littleneck clams in and around Little Egg Harbor. Two hours before ebb tide, we’d motor out in a decrepit cedar-plank Garvey from Morrison’s Marina to our “secret” spot just north of Barrel Island.

Marley and ME in the duck blind watching for ducks

Marley and Me - A True Tale

Marley had a real good run. Even as he grew slow and had a hard time getting in and out of the truck, he still had passion and always wanted to go…I never went gunning without him. He gunned hard every day until it was his time, about two months after duck season closed. I don’t know where all the good dogs go. But I hope there is indeed a “happy hunting ground” where we all meet up again and relive these unforgettable moments.

Duck With Curry And Cherry Flambe

Duck With Curry And Cherry Flambe

Had a good hunting season? Freezer full of duck? Same here! 

Grab a big skillet. If you have a cast iron one, that’s the best pretty much always. Put the breasts skin side down and make sure they have some room in between them.

An Ode To The Bluefish

An Ode To The Bluefish

They are called Tailor in Australia. Known as Elf or Shad in South Africa. Simply, Blues along the east coast of the US. Big ones are choppers, little ones are snappers. The Bluefish is caught in subtropical temperate waters in the Atlantic and Pacific oceans as well as the Mediterranean and Black Seas with great appeal to many anglers.

How To Cook Wild Duck Breast

First things first...did you keep the skin on?  I get it, it’s easier to breast them out without the skin but you are seriously missing out on the best part.
