smoked mackerel

[Guest jay_con]

Hugh fearnley whitingstall (back to cottage garden) - has built his smoker in the chimney stack of his cottage. He simply opens a metal door and bangs the fish inside.

 

he then chucks a load of old rubber tyres on the house fire and bobs your uncle,2 hours later he has tyre smoked pike. (thats why he looks so healthy all the time.)

i just been fishin at abbotsbury with hembo, he's real, not just made of digits, we caught 20 fresh mackerel & had a good time, loads of weed & crabs about.

 

brought home the biggest catch of 5 fingered kelp as willow (daughter No. 2) loves it.

 

hugh apparently has moved house, probably run out of tyres, ee do come in my pub now and again though

[Guest jay_con]

you could ask him all about his smoker then. i guess hell have built another in his new house i guess. unless hes moved back into that stupid barge. tell him i said hello next time you see him.

 

Perhaps we could start a hugh fernley fan club?

whats the kelp taste like and how do you cook it dear ziggy?

[Zigs]

tastes like the expensive stuff you can buy un chinese supermarkets with exotic names, but its free. usually simmer for 1 hour & then put some tamari or soy on it, can be a bit chewey as the chinese weed is grown on bundles of bamboo in the sea & then put in to fresh water for some time to soften it. if you deep fry it fresh it explodes ! just like the mackrell

[jeepster]

sorry to disillusion you, but chinese 'seaweed' is actually common or garden cabbage, never been near the sea
