From pond to plate, learning to eat locally

Our neighbor and fishing enthusiast, Mike ‘Ski,’ gave us a filleting lesson, which I captured on video for future reference. Talk about fresh! Just an hour earlier, we hooked these large mouth bass in our pond. Once filleted, we dredged them in Fry Magic, popped them in the frying pan, and finished them off with a squeeze of fresh lemon. To that we added a couple of beers (“Leinies” from LaCrosse, Wisc.), asparagus right from the garden and ate like true Wisconsin local-vores!  Mmmmmm.
