Recipe of the Week |
Crab-Stuffed Flounder
Ingredients:
2 lbs. fresh flounder fillets
1/4 cup chopped onion
1/4 cup butter, melted
7-oz. can crabmeat, drained
1/2 cup saltine crackers, crushed
2 tbsp. dried parsley
1 tsp. salt
½ tsp. pepper
Cheddar Cheese Topping (recipe follows)
Directions:
Butter either 6 individual casserole dishes or one
large 2 quart dish. Combine the onions, butter,
seasonings, crabmeat and crackers. Roll the crabmeat
mixture up in the flounder fillets. Bake uncovered
25 minutes at 400 degrees F.
In a saucepan, while the flounder is cooking, melt 3
tbsp. butter. Stir in 3 tbsp. flour and 1/4 tsp.
salt. Simmer until bubbly and smooth, just a brief
time. Add 1-1/2 cup milk, stirring constantly until
it thickens. Stir in 1 cup grated Cheddar Cheese and
stir until cheese is all melted. Remove casserole
dish from oven after 25 min., pour cheese sauce over
flounder and return to oven. Cook about 5 minutes
longer. Remove and serve. |

Choosing
and Using Your Flares
While flares are standard equipment on most boats, most
of us have not ever had to use them and in many cases do not know
how to use them. Boat U.S. Foundation recently placed some videos
online showing how to select and use flares properly. We hope you
find this information helpful.

Dolphin Research Program
Update
My search leads me to the National Marine
Fisheries Web site commercial fisheries landings, both domestic and
foreign import. Because the domestic commercial landings data
maintained by NMFS is only current through 2007 even though the
import data is current through January 2009, I had to use the 2007
data as the most recent year so as to include domestic landings.
This data showed that more than 99% of the dolphinfish sold in the
U.S. during 2007 was imported. A total of 23 foreign countries
exported 36.1 million pounds of dolphinfish fillets to the U.S. in
2007. (Note, fillets from dolphin usually represent 30% of the
actual body weight. Therefore it took roughly 120.3 million pounds
of whole fish to generate this amount of fillets.) While this may
sound like a large amount, understand that we imported 450.7 million
pounds of Atlantic salmon the same year. If there is a positive
side, it is that the vast majority of dolphinfish is coming out of
the Pacific Ocean.
On the bright side, the dolphin season is about here
and I am excited to see what type of fishing and dolphin abundance
that this year will bring.
Good fishing,

The Final Word |
The
weather finally decided to cooperate and several boats made
it offshore this week. There were some really good catches
of blackfin tuna, some dolphin, wahoo, and even a couple of
blue marlin. Georgetown Hole and the 226 hole seemed to
benefit from some warmer water. Inshore the trout have
turned back on and the redfish are in full force as well.
Live shrimp are working really well and artificial shrimp
are lures are working well also. Sheepshead fishing out over
the reefs is really good right now. Looks like we may get a
window between the fronts this weekend, but it is still too
early to tell.
Tight
lines…
