You guys cook your fish!  What a travesty.  To spoil such a fresh, wonderful flesh by exposing to fire.  Be a real voyager - eat it raw!

Of course I'm kidding - sort of.  This year we soaked cut up laker in lime juice, then added some soy sauce and sesame oil - it was wonderful!  


 IF anyone tries pghportager's Laker recipe, be sure too add the LIME JUICE if nothing else ;)  Lemon Juice would work also. The acid in the Lime Juice cooks the fish, a technique popular down Mexico way.
 My first trip into the BW with a group, some of the guys ate some Small Mouth that they didn't cook properly. Next morning when they visited the privy, they had a wriggling surprise in their scat :'(
 I wasn't bothered, but I like my fish WELL DONE. They were so freaked out, they ate freeze dried the rest of the trip. Turned out too be relatively harmless parasites.  For the Sushi eaters out there, I saw a show where a internist(?) in CA said that he wouldn't eat Sushi because of all the patients he saw with worms from eating raw fish, from supposedly reputable restaurants. I guess you need too eat it with Wasabi too make sure any parasites are well done ;)
