    Whole Ham is Scary

    Well, not scary from a taste point of view but from a size point of view. With the belly and most of the hocks curing, the leg is looking huge!.

    Meat is in the cure, hoping for reasonable weather! Here's the plan. I took my beautiful 6lb pork belly out of the freezer, cut it into two equal portions and have started it in the Maple Bacon cure from Charcuterie. I also have started about 4 lbs of hocks curing also with the Charcuterie...

    First Bluefish of the Season

    Had a piece of good luck while fluke fishing this week. Got hit with a nice 3 lb bluefish. We promptly bleed it and got it cooled down. Fillets were left with the skin on. Final destination - the smoker! Once home no time was wasted trimming the fillets and washing off the slime. They got...
