Finally got the brother in law his first legal ling. We have been catching a ton of big rockfish, all released of course. However, the legal lings have evaded us. Not this one. It was just barely legal but a perfect little eater. We fried up a bit with a thin batter and panko and it was great. I love the blue ones...makes for some funky colored filets.

Looks tasty!

Best eating fish in the local waters IMO.

I like cooking those green ones with just a little bit of mint. Really messes with peoples head!

He looks like he is holding up something bad like a dead skunk!
Tell him to smile next time. The cooked fish looks yummy, I'll have to try that dipping in bread crumbs after dipping in batter.

The panko gives a nice crunch. I like beer batter but it can be a little messy. Thinning it just a touch and then using the panko gives a lighter crunch to it. Also, I think it makes the fry process a little less messy.

You coasties have all the good fishing.

It is nice being close to Everett. I can be on the water pretty darn quick. Now...we don't have all the good fishing....you got walleye and some nice cats in your back yard!

Woodchuck · « **Reply #14 on:** May 26, 2015, 08:51:26 AM »

Oh yes. Your thread was just too peaceful so I wanted to stir some coastie/dryside drama in there is all.

Nice lookin meal.

Yum, Yum!

Nice! I think I posted a panko oven fried recipe that is also fabulous.

I caught a 23" 8 pound copper RF and a 2" 4 pound quillback on Saturday, there are some big ones out there. Got a 28 1/2" ling yesterday.
