We have been doing this trip for the last 20 or so years. All the Cousins, Nephews, Uncles, and Brother-In-Laws get together for a fishing trip out of Venice, Louisiana. The menu is always wild game/fish/seafood.
We have a neat little tradition. We have what is called the 'Rusty Hook' Award. It is given out to the individual that has the most memorable moment on the fishing trip. There have been some hilarious incidents which have won over the years. We are currently on plaque #2, The first one having been filled up with names...
We have a really good time. And this year will be no different.
The menu AS of now is as follows:
I am bringing pulled pork for the picky eaters. I just pulled it from resting in the oven and have it cooling to pull...
Yep. She's tender...
I am also bringing a sample Charcuterie plate of wild hog sausage, goose pastrami, wild hog canadian bacon, wild hog smoked sugar cure ham, goose mortadella, smoked venison and pork sausage, and smoked honey glazed wild turkey....with an assortment of cheeses and crackers.
On the list this year that I know of are as follows:
grilled tuna steaks
crawfish ettouffee
grilled elk steak bites
Bacon wrapped duck poppers
fried snapper, frog legs and shrimp.
wild hog green onion sausage
wild hog fresh sausage
smoked rabbit terrine
chargrilled oysters with balsamic vinegar, basil, and sundried tomatoes covered with Parmesan cheese....
That's all I can think of right now, there is always more than I can eat......I think my cousin on the west coast is bringing fresh Dungeness crab and some salmon....not sure on that though.
