ST, Not sure the gals would go for fish baked in mud. But it would be fun to tell them I intend too and see their reaction.

Tell them it's a little known "Native American" aphrodisiac.  ;) ;D ;D


I can't remember where I saw it, but some Native tribes used to grill whole NP over the campfire (coals)
by gutting and then impaling a long green stick thru the gill plates. The fish is hanging vertically over the fire.
You prop the ribs apart with a green sick and hold the grilling stick in place with some suitable weight rocks.
Fish is ready to eat when you can insert knife easily from skin side.

Never tried it but I think the next time I catch a small NP I might give it a try, especially if the fish is injured and won't survive.


A few years back my sister gave me this book for Christmas. I heartily recommend it. A wealth of info/ideas/tips/tricks for just about any outdoor/survival situation you can think of.
