Never heard of him. But what do you prefer, Brookie Chaser, Mrs Paul's or Gorton's? I like that Gorton's fisherman in the yellow jacket, and their jingle is catchy, too! Some Gorton's and a can of peas. Eating like that reminds me of my poor college days.

Lets be honest we all had some money in college, we just drank it.

Sure, I had some money. I cooked in a Perkin's for years through college. This kept a flow of money that was enough to live on and buy cheap booze. It also allowed a nice flow of meeting new waitresses. College sure was something.

I prefer the Gortons. It's the jingle that gets me, I hear the song every time I pick up a box. Plus their mascot reminds me of those carved wooden ship captain statues that used to be around.

I couldn't agree more. Your reasons are valid. I "trust the Gorton's fishermen!"

I got to have the tartar sauce for dipping the fish sticks.

I've gotta say, and we are really diverging from brook trout here, but I think hitting up Sayers Reservoir and taking a mess of crappie home for a fish fry is going to be an annual event for me. I've always like a variety of freshwater fish and I've always enjoyed crappie, but those fish were just delicious. I used a few different breadings, but the pre-packaged beer batter in the yellow bag (Louisiana brand?) that I got from Wal-Mart mixed with a little Miller Lite made some amazing fish.

It truly rivaled any deep fried fish I have ever had, but yes, tartar sauce is a must.

That sounds like good eating. I've never eaten crappie.
I used to cook deep fried channel cat nuggets (removing the dark meat and lateral lines from the fillets, chunking it, and using a homemade beer batter using Yuengling lager or Shiner Bock). Then take the left over beer batter and make onion rings with it while the frying oil was still hot.

You're making me yearn for warmer temps and that spring bite!

That guy?

 

[jifigz]

That guy?

Yeah. The guy who was subliminally trying to get us to buy Gorton's or Mrs. Pauls or whatever.

I think that's what this was all about! Marketing!

Do you guys remember the movie "There's Something About Mary" when Ben Stiller's character believes that Matt Dillon's character is out in San Francisco closing a deal with the Rice-a-Roni people? I don't know why, but dang I find that humorous.

If everyone had spent that year arguing about the impact of stocking homemade tartar sauce variations on top of fish sticks, I think I would have enjoyed it immensely more.

I gotta say that this divergence is a nice change of pace from how these threads usually go.

Have you guys ever had the Tatar sauce from the Venture Inn on rt. 44 just north of Jersey Shore in Lycoming County? It’s on the right as you start to head up pine creek.

It is so good it’s outrageous. It is a really old homemade sweet zucchini Tatar sauce recipe. I highly recommend it. I usually make the trek there and get a quart to-go before any fish fry.

Now here is an invaluable piece of information!! I will make the journey to Lycoming County to fish, and I will leave with a satisfied soul and a quart of tartar sauce!

Dear hooker-of-men,

Tartar sauce is the suck compared to ****tail sauce, it's literally no contest. I can't believe you can't say male chicken on this site. What if you want to go to a male chicken-tail lounge for a drink?

A couple of lumps of Kelchner's Horseradish and a big glob of Heinz ketchup swirled around in the bowl is all you need!

Just sayin'.

Regards,

Tim Murphy 🙂
