Hungry sure am going on almost 3 years now. The last 2 years haven't had "safe" ice for me and this year was looking promising until the snow started. As a walker all this snow is a PITA looking like next week is a right off also. Hoping to get out eventually on Simcoe to get a feed of perch. May have to look for a young buck (or strong doe) to haul the gear out for this old man(ok not so "old" just should be in better shape.)
It's a beer batter. We deep fry in a deep pan with vegetable oil on the stove. When done oil gets filtered through cheesecloth and then frozen - can be used multiple times this way. You need a high temp thermometer to monitor the oil temp - needs to be between 350 and 375. Recipe:Quote:

I hear you. Normally take one of my sons and/or nephew along (all late 20s early 30s) and recently my son-in-law - all i have to do is load and unload the snowmobiles from the trailer and back the trailer into wherever we need to park (well and pay for most everything). They do everything else. Pack/unpack toboggans, drill holes, setup and take down etc.. - getting pretty easy for the old man.Quote:

Looks great Joe, thanks for making me so hungry so early in the day
Looks yummy!
I always end up drinking the beer and end up using soda water.
I asked Gilroy where he wanted to go he didn't reply. I'll need at least at one perch feed this season. If conditions improve I got a spot with a relatively short walk a km if the lots clears . I was thinking about keeping some yesterday but then decided to leave the area all together as I was after the whitties and was looking for the shallow whitties under 20 fow. . An 11 inch picked up my buddies 3 inch tube and choked it down lol. Wasn't what we were looking for but I knew they would be there just the whitties weren't.Quote:

I tried out the recipe today after my ice fishing adventure in Sugarloaf marina. I caught 6 nice perch for the dinner plate. That batter was very good and i will use it in the future.
Thanks for sharing.
A+ on the recipe
Tasted great didn't find the seasoning salt so made my own with basically the same ingredients lol. Used the smoked paprika and added a it more pepper for a whitefish I took home the other day.
I'm not hungry anymore lol.
Thanks again.
