Steelhead & tastes like lobster

Post by Hoobilly »

My cousin took his daughter and future soninlaw up to Lake michigan on a charter. Caught 160lbs of steelhead (filets weighted 160lbs)

My dad had seen a video of a feller who said he can make steelhead taste like lobster. Man that guy wasn't kidding

guy said to take a peeled tater and chunk it up, lay the filets on top of the taters and boil on the stove till the taters are done. Dad took the skin off before boiling. Meat came out more white than the orange looking filet.

took a Texas Roadhouse type seasoning and placed all over it, and broiled in the oven for about 10 minutes.

melted some butter and laid over it..

mind blown when i took a bite couldn't believe it. I will definitely be having this agin real soon.

Steelhead (rainbow) is the best tasting fish in Lake Michigan.. ‘cepting for perch! The walleye is right up there too..

Walleye is about as good a fish to eat as any

Only thing better is bluegill through ice

When I was a kid we made poor man's lobster outta pike.
My friends that ice fish, which is all of them, except me, started going after burbot. Those fish are ugly as all get out, but claim taste and texture is identical to lobster.

When I grill it, I take a brown sugar and pour soy sauce and mix it up. Then rub it all over and apply another layer of the sauce and crank the heat up for 5 minutes after the 2nd layer.


doesn't come any better, but man the poor boy lobster is killer
