Hard for me to decide between these three;
Smoked Salmon @ Salty Von's (Lincoln City)
Deep dish blackberry pie by Betty Taunton (Spouting Horn, Depoe Bay)
Blackened Calamari steak at some fancy golf course country club in Reno, NV (wish I could remember the name)
As far as wild game is concerned there is no question...Dall sheep!
Javalina and Axis deer would probably tie for second.

King Crab.......I can eat it until I puke.
More than Dungeness? I love all but soft shell crab. But I don't think King is even in my top three. I do like that I can eat it faster and with less mess though! I once thought I would see if I could get sick of eating crab meat ;) Ate it every day for most of the summer when I lived on the Siletz Bay. I don't think I liked it even 1% less on the last day as I did the first! Not many foods I can say that about. Man, do I miss living on the Bay!!!

As for real food, the redder the better, Ahi anywhere, and I had a ribeye at the Northern Rim of the Grandcanyon that was rediculous. Also the ribeye at Boddy Flays Mesa resturant in Vegas is pretty dang good.

I lived on the hoodcanal for a few years. Best eating I ever did. Crab, King Salmon, Fresh Steamer Clams and Oysters all in one day of fishing. The Dungeness have a better taste in my opinion. Sweeter and of course, fresher than any king crab I've had. I miss the bay.

One time our whole tow was nothing but scallops and rather than let us have down time, we had to shuck scallops for nearly a whole 16 hour shift.

I don't recommend trying raw King crab rinsed in salt water.

Here's another vote. I just don't get enough of those little buggers, but absolutely love them when I do. Other things I love at the top of the local list are dungies and spot prawns.
Probably my most memorable, one time, dish was in northern Italy. A dark chocolate shell pasta (think tortellini) filled with cheese. Not sure exactly what it was called or what kind of cheese. Just know that I took the first bite and looked down in panic to see that I only had six of them left!

1 large 8-10" pancake covered in butter, peanut butter, 2 eggs on top of that (any style but I like over medium, sausage and or bacon on top of that, then topped with copious amounts of syrup. :drool: :drool: Immediately after eating prepare yourself for a FOOD COMA. :chuckle:

That reminds me of the best breakfast ever. When I was very young there was a restaurant in Steilacoom called Waverly By The Sea We would go there as a family once a month for a Sunday brunch after church. I remember the Dutch Babies being beyond sensational! Lemon, butter and powder sugar was all that was needed. That was a looong time ago and I can still taste those wonderful babies. Can hardly find a Dutch pancake anywhere these days. Wonder why?

Yeah it is weird. I remember growing up in Roy and they used to serve them at the "McKenna Y" but I'll be darned if I can't find them anywhere else.

They have German Pancakes at Elmer's, but it is not even close the what we used to get. There is also a restaurant in Covington that I can not remember the name of that still offers them. I'll have to get in touch with my brother and ask where it was he took us. They weren't too bad there, but still a far cry from those at Waverly.

Years ago during deer season... I bagged four big Roughed Grouse hens. I cut the breasts into 1/2"/smaller cubes. Slow saute'd them in butter/red wine not a half hour after the kill. Almost undercooked. (there's often a bottle of Pinot Noir or a Cabernet in the camp trailer) I made a boxed fettuccini mix. Drained the wine off and served the bird atop the noodles. A little pepper. A little garlic. Garlic toast on the side. Just one of the best dinners my huntin buddies remember the most over the last 20+ years. Grouse is by far my favorite bird to eat.
I'll take Red Rock crab claws over Dungeness. But Dungeness over King or Snow crab any day. I can't stand Blue shell crab back east. Love me some Butter clams or Calamari!
FRESH Lobster and FRESH Prawns. In my youth my folks had property on Hood Canal. We crabbed/shrimped/fished there for several years I love fresh-boiled-chilled prawns in the shell.
A fresh butchered grass and grain fed Angus or Scottish Highlander calf backstrap hung in the smoker with alder and apple chips and plenty of water or beer in the pan... Slice it up steak-thick once there's a good dried exterior and rare inside. (some people wrap it in bacon) Served with corn on the cob and a little jelly on the steaks... To die for.
Antelope hamburgers!
Elk cube steaks beaten to almost hamburger soaked in beer (and some other options), skewered over a wood fired BBQ until they're just rare, range high on my list.
Someone mentioned high mountain Blackberries.. I'll have to counter with south facing Salmonberries in their prime.
I got off the lawn mower last evening... Walked over to my Rainier Cherry tree... At the moment, that was one of the tastiest foods on earth.
As you can see, it is very difficult to pick just one food source as a favorite or best tasting. Mother Earth provides a bounty.

On tenderloins, El Gaucho serves (or served) a baseball cut tenderloin that was pretty good. I cannot decide whether that or the one I had in some restaurant in Monterey was better. I bought a Costco tenderloin and made sure that I cut a baseball out for a future dinner.

JB, do tell. We have some hard and fast rules in camp, only the liver (maybe the heart) gets eaten there, everything else goes home. I know a lot of guys eat the tenderloins at camp, but that would result in your ex-communication with my family (tenderloins belong on the Ribeye, never to be cut off). But Tri-Tip, now that might work. How do you do it? Please explain.

I just scramble them in a ceramic coffee mug or anything that is microwave safe. I put them on high for 1:25 (at this point they should be about 2/3 cooked), stir them a little and in for another 0:30. Put them on a plate and separate with a fork. I'll never dirty another pan with scrambled eggs unless I don't have a microwave available.

I just scramble them in a ceramic coffee mug or anything that is microwave safe. I put them on high for 1:25 (at this point they should be about 2/3 cooked), stir them a little and in for another 0:30. Put them on a plate and separate with a fork. I'll never dirty another pan with scrambled eggs unless I don't have a microwave available.
By the way, it was my mother's uncle who invented the magnetron to use microwaves for cooking - Percy Spencer. He was the guy who had the chocolate bar in his pocket while they were doing radio work with microwaves. Can you imagine what that stuff did to their insides? He lived to his late 80s I think, though.
I've seen commercials about your uncle then. They come on AFN (Armed Forces Network) all the time about the benefits of military research. Pretty cool.
It is cool. His parents died when he was very young and he was brought up by an aunt or something. I believe he dropped out of high school and when a local plant started using electricity, he applied for and got a job there. He joined the navy several years later and when he got out, Raytheon hired him. There's a lab in Woburn, MA named for him. Interesting for a guy with no diplomas of any kind. The Navy certainly taught him a lot.

Years ago I killed a deer wayyyyy back in the Alpine Lakes. Spent 8 hours packing the deer and my camp out. Drove straight into Cle Elum and bought a lime slushy and a cheeseburger at Dairy Queen. Thats was pretty dang good... :chuckle:This reminded me of getting back to the truck and sitting next to the river in below freezing temps after about 7 hours of hunting in the ne during the late whitetail hunt and having some hot Campbell's cream of mushroom soup out of the thermos and a nice hard roll.It was some of the best soup i have ever had :tup:
As for real food, the redder the better, Ahi anywhere, and I had a ribeye at the Northern Rim of the Grandcanyon that was rediculous. Also the ribeye at Boddy Flays Mesa resturant in Vegas is pretty dang good.

Crab cakes for dinner and Crème brûlée for dessert.

We had some fresh elk steaks at elk camp that were pretty awesome. Butchered up the yearling elk that morning and ate the seasoned steaks that were slow cooked over an open flame. Dang tasty
Those were in my top three of things I've had since moving out west. Were tasty for sure!

What makes food taste the best is a good appetite.
Very true!
After almost a month in the bush eating Mountain House and drinking instant coffee there is one thing that always makes me beyond satisfied when I get home...An ice cold glass of milk from the local dairy! For some odd reason that is when I know I'm really home. At that moment, I can't imagine anything could possibly be better!
