Is always better than iced, frozen, canned, etc. After a trek up the mountain, Grayling out of an ice-water creek and into the pan is hard to beat. Your Walleye and Perch are not indigenous to my local sport fishing areas so I have no experience.

I have this funny scenario of butters.
butters finishes making chicken enchiladas and opens the window. One of the chickens is acting up and she screams, "If you don't stop it, you're next!!!"

so, live and learn.... two evenings running now I've seen what I first thought was a chunky, fluffy grey cat helping itself to the cat dishes. Both times it took off quickly as I came out the door, ran as far as one of the flower beds and seemed to disappear. But this second time I was pretty sure that was no cat, and it was pretty chunky and I didn't see a tail and it wasn't moving like a raccoon. Looking it up, it was a groundhog and despite my poking around in the shrubs with a stick, no hole could be seen. Seems they're great at climbing trees and swimming, too! SO I'm thinking that while I was searching all around both nights for it, it was busy up one of the big trees we have growing in those beds... looking down and laughing at me 
H had no idea they climbed trees, either, and has seen quite a few in his years here.

We’ve caught plenty of fish. Snapper, Kahawai, Trevally, Gurnard, Whiting, Bream, Flatties, Flounder, Sole, Kingfish, tuna, John Dory (my fave), Mullet, White bait, eel and Hapuka. A mix between fresh water, sea and estuary, but we always get something. Moonless nights often yield great harvests.

We have a farm in a very small town in New Zealand. It’s perfect. I go there for a break from time to time. Visit my sister who passed away a few years ago.
My aunty would cook a full spread for breakfast. Mostly for the men who work the farm. Porridge and toast. Deep fried battered fish, mussels, and fried eggs etc etc.
We always eat well in New Zealand. You have to, though, because it’s always a massive day over there.
Anyway, it’s great fishing. Massive fish. Plentiful. Untouched mostly, because most people couldn’t be fucked going up that far. That, and the oceans can be treacherous as hell. The Pacific meets the Tasman. It’s quite magical.

I thought about the cod comment after i posted it... I love cod. I felt bad for pairing it in the same list as tilapia. And, in iowa, its either poopy farm pond fish or farm raised, if you want it some what fresh. I guess flash frozen is an option, but its more expensive than prime beef here.

I just had some snapper a couple nights ago.. Of course, it was frozen and probably farmed raised, but it was good.
I guess if i were to go to one of the dams up the Missouri, i could catch some decent crappie or walleye..
Im more of a fisher of men than a fishermen. Whatever that means... I dont know.

Don’t be too hard on yourself. I suspect “Can Groundhogs climb trees???” would stump a lot of people.
(I wouldn’t have guessed it.)
I’ve enjoyed those ^ pairings.
The thing about fresh caught (Ice fishing) Walleye or Lake Perch, is that no tarter sauce is required. In fact, tartar sauce would actually spoil the culinary experience.
They are truly delicacies unto themselves when pan fried with a simple breading & basic seasoning.

Make sure to hang the hide out for all the others to see what you'll do to them if the mess with your vegetables.

My family came to Alaska over 100 years ago to fish Pacific Gray Cod. Not only was it good eating, it was a good livelihood.

There is cod, but not with the guys fishing out of dories with handlines, and then, splitting, salting, and drying the cod. It was never overfished to the extent that it was on the Grand Banks. It's usually not sport caught, but I usually pick up fresh at the Saturday Market.
