What to Do When the Outdoors Moves Indoors

Fisherman Brings Catch Home For Easy-to-P repare Gourmet Meals; Ruth Meyer Offers Recipes

If there’s anything more helpless than a returning fisherman with a creel full of fish — it’s probably the fisherman’s harried wife. Although she may very well be an incarnate Savarin on her own terms, the sudden invasion of her little world by a -picnic cooler full of leering gamefish might be just enough to set her to filing the barbs off her husband’s fishhooks and lures before the next angling excursion. And yet gamefish — from perch through whitefish to bass, trout and salmon — are

among the most fabled of table delicacies. And they can be much simpler in the preparation than many routine mealtime dishes. Ruth Meyer, home economics coordinator of Seven-Up Company, makes this confession: “Mother and I were ofteh the recipient of Dad’s daily catches, but we prepared them only to keep the family together,’’ she says. “Then, our company began receiving unsolicited recipes for fish and seafood dishes using our product as the liquid flavoring ingredient — many of them from fishermen. “It wasn’t long until I realized that there was another world of fishing cookery. We started to collect these gamefish recipes people had so kindly sent us and then devel<®ed more of our own. “This is the first time we’ve put these all together. “Hope these ‘get you off the hook’ the next time the great outdoors ends up in your kitchen.” Miss Meyer adds that the knowledgeable information on the gamefish are based on suggestions from Bill Cullerton, “Fishing Hall of Fame” angler “But the recipes are ours.” BARBECUED PIKE The northern pike is a prime gamefish which ranges from

the Dakotas through the upper Midwest to Pennsylvania, then north into Canada. The pike is at its slashing best as a gamefish in the late spring in our northern tier of states, but as the angler proceeds north into Canada the summer months offer an equal challenge. Its rather vicious physiognomy belies a delicate and distinct flavor which carries the memory of the strike and landing over to a more tranquil experience at the gourmet table. The pike can be split and boned, or choice fillets can be cut from the flanks. Barbecued with the sauce included in the recipe below, the pike becomes a gourmet piece de resistance. The lemon-and-lime tanginess contributes both the liquid and seasoning ingredients. 1 pike (about 3 pounds), split and boned (or filleted) 2 tablespoons chopped onion 2 tablespoons fat * 1 10- or 12-ounce bottle of 7-Up 1 cup catsup 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce 2 tablespoons brown sugar 1 tablespoon vinegar */2 teaspoon salt (4 teaspoon pepper Place fish in a shallow baking dish. Brown onion in hot fat; stir in remaining ingredients and simmer 5 minutes. Pour sauce over fish and bake in a 350° F. oven 35 to 40 minutes, or uptil fish flakes easily with a fork. Serve with sauce. (6 servings).

A springtime dinner main course that will please family or guests is this Barbecued Pike.

Ever-popular whitefish has new significance when cooked in a delectable tarragon-flavored sauce.

FOR DELICATE, SWEET-MEAT FLAVOR . . . Baked Lake Whitefish

Trout fishermen on Montana streams sometimes curse the bothersome whitefish as they seek their fairer game, but the whitefish of the northern lake country are another “kettle of fish.” Long sought after for their delicate, sweet-meated flavor, lake whitefish are now being rated as top gamefish by flyfishermen and other lighttackle enthusiasts. And — steaming hot, delectable whitefish, cooked in a savory sauce, can be served in 2D minutes after it is first placed in the oven.

Next Time Pheasant Finds Way into Your Kitchen

Most folks who say they don’t like game are surprised at, how much they do enjoy it . I. . when it’s properly prepared. Next time a pheasant finds its way into your kitchen, don’t just stuff the beast, push him ir.to the oven, turn on the gas and forget about him for three hours. Try something different. Li ke pheasant pie, for instance. Difficult? Heck no. Delicious? Hmmm ... boy. Joe Zerkowsky, the chef at Winchester-West-ern's Nilo Farms shooting preserve, recommends the following recipe for pheasant pie: 1. Boil one cock pheasant until tender with medium size onion, two leafstalks of celery, salt and pepper. When tender, remove pheasant from broth, strip meat from bones and dice in large pieces. Strain and retain three cups of broth. 2. Dice one medium size onion and some celery. Saute

Minifleet Numerous and Varied this Year

The small boat fleet for 1969 is a large one and includes craft that may be rowed, paddled, sailed, surfed and motored. The small fry steal a lot of thunder from the shiny, handsome yachts peering down on them from on high. There are hundreds of boats in the seven to fofurteen foot range. Most cost less than SSOO. One costs only SSO. Prams, dinks, canoes, inflatables, sailboards, car-toppers and even a folding boat that stores under your mattress — all are readily available on the market. A majority are fiberglass. Wood, canvas, rubberized cloth and clear plastic are also used in the lilliputian fleet. And there are miniatures made of plastic foam. Short length alone does not a mini-boat make. After all, there

2<re fourteen foot keel sailboats weights weighing a ton. To qualify as genuine small fry, the candidate must be car-toppable, pickupable and kid-usable. The new popularity of tiny boats is well recognized by big manufacturers. For example, to provide pint sized power for prams, dinks and the smallest sailboats, Evinrude and Johnson are marketing 1.5 hp outboard motors. Mercury has a 4.0 hp. Chrysler offer a 3.5 hp weighing only 29 pounds and aimed at canoes, cartoppers, and dinghies. The market for the mini boats is expanding. In addition to youngsters and their parents, there are camps and a growing ..number of small craft handling and' instruction classes, clubs, racing groups and resort hotels and motels that buy fleets of Butterfly’s, Aqua Cat’s, Doodle’s or Sunfish. The mini-boats are rented out and provide a resort attraction. Interesting side issue is that frequently a sailboard is rented to a couple who have never sailed before. They find the wonderful world of little boats, and a new sailing family is launched. And there’s the step-down market. Experienced sailors, tired of

the pressure in competitive racing, leave their big fin-keel sloops and relax with a little car-topper. Big yachts are offered with all kinds of options and accessories such as auxiliary power plants, flying bridges, extra staterooms and the like. There also are accessories for the small fry. Car-top racks, custom trailers, bailers, launching rollers, outboard motor brackets. There are even sailing jackets emblazoned with class insignia patch. Many of the small boats carry a placard giving a safe load limit and maximum allowable horsepower if an outboard motor is to be used. Flotation is provided, usually with a wide margin of extra safety. A sign hung on one of the Tom Thumb boats in the big New York show summed it up this way: “Just add water and sail.” (Held from last week) Mrs. Helen Cola and Mrs. Nora Orr of Marion called on Mr. and Mrs. Bill Decker of r 1 Milford on Thursday. Mrs. Cole and Mrs. Orr are cousins of Mr. Decker.
