Fish Stock I catch a lot of freshwater fish and always keep the heads and bones from my walleye, perch, bass, bluegill, and crappie to make this simple fish stock recipe you can pull off in less than one hour. The key is to rinse the slime off the heads and bones and cut out the gills. If you keep the gills on, it will ruin it and give it a bad flavor. My wife and I absolutely LOVE to ladle this into a bowl with some pan-seared fresh fish fillets with shredded carrot, chopped green onions, and a handful…

Party Fowl Grouse Grouse thighs and legs with foraged oyster mushrooms and some lovely cipollini onions in a grainy mustard, white wine cream sauce over garlic mashed cauliflower. Uncannily delicious. I used a specialized bird seasoning developed by @huntchef. #partyfowl wild bird seasoning, and the minute I opened it I knew this was exactly what I needed.  Eat what you kill! I seasoned the thighs and legs heavily with Party Fowl, let it meld for about an hour then seared in avacado oil in a cast iron skillet. Then I seared the cipollini onions and oyster mushrooms seasoned with minced…

For this recipe we are using a few Striper filets. I really enjoy the flavor of the meat, the texture and of course the size of the filet. For serving a nice Entrée to anyone I really prefer using striper over other freshwater species in my area due to those features and it sure blackens up nicely. I usually don’t deep fry my striper. I leave that to things like catfish and white bass. I decided to do a brined and smoked fish dip to show some versatility. This can be done with something as simple as some wood chips…

Whitetail Tongue Tacos Deer tongue tacos are a favorite in our house.  Deer tongues are a lot smaller than beef tongues so you should figure 1 tongue per person.  When I don’t have enough tongues, I add in one or more shanks off of the legs.  The meat cooks well with the tongue and the bone adds a ton of flavor.  So the next time you get a deer or 2 throw the tongues and a shank in an instant pot with some HUNTCHEF TACO TAKEDOWN and be prepared to have your wild flavor tastebuds to be working overtime!!!!IngredientsInstant Pot2-4…

Place the potatoes in a pot with enough cold water to cover them with 1TBSP of salt over high heat. Set the buttermilk and butter for the potatoes on the counter to allow to come to room temperature. With the apples standing right side up on the cutting board, make 1/4” slices on all sides stopping before hitting the core. Toss the slices with just enough vegetable oil to coat and a pinch of sugar and salt. Grill lightly on both sides as you would a chicken breast. Remove the apple slices from grill and chunk them up into a…
