A grilling I will go...

[Popeye]

My wife went to the Cirque du Soleil with one of her friends, so I figured I would grill some Steelhead Trout for dinner.

Here’s a “Before” shot. Actually taken a minute after it was put on the grill because I forgot to take a picture before.

Here is the “After” shot. The ketchup is from the baked French fries I had for a side dish. I only ate half of the fillet, but may have the other half here in a bit.

1 steelhead fillet
Tsp kosher salt
½ tsp Fortner’s Seasoning blend #89
¼ tsp granulated garlic
¼ tsp lemon pepper

Coat both sides of fillet w/olive oil
Season flesh side of fillet
Grill over high heat flesh side first 7 minutes
Grill skin side 3 minutes

If you don’t know what Fortner’s is, it is a small company in Lake Mills, Wisconsin that makes all kinds of all natural, salt free, seasoning blends. We bought some at the Wiscoland State Fair. Blend 89 is a blend of quite a few herbs and spices. According to the label it contains Dill, Lemon, Paprika, Rosemary, Allspice, Basil, Fennel, Bayleaf, Garlic and Pepper. The amount I used was just a tad over powering, I’ll cut it back a bit next time. I used some tartar sauce (not much) to mellow the seasoning out a bit.

Now Flounder, I really can't believe that you wouldn't have loved to try that 4lb largemouth you let go (claimed I cut your line) with all that special sauce and recipe your posting here - I know you don't have any need for Lg Mouths, but I can't help thinking it would have tasted pretty good......

Exactly what I was thinking....that was wrong. :LOL2:

Hey, after it was cooked, I wasn't waiting around to take a picture. It was smelling good and boy did it taste good too.

You said you picked up the Fortner's Seasoning at the Wisconsin State Fair, is it available in any of the stores? I have relatives that live in different parts of WI, I was going to ask them to pick some up for me, but figured I should find out if it is available first.

Sorry, for the long delay. I had a run in with a nasty computer virus. FYI, don't click on anything that says Anti Virus XP 2008. It is a anti virus company that wrote a virus to infect peoples computers to sell their anti virus program... :evil: :evil: :evil:

Any how,

This is the stuff I used.

I know they make a bunch of other ones but don't have a list of them.

Here is a phone number for them I found on the internet, 1-800-753-0310. I’ll look on the jar when I get home to see if they have a web site or mailing address.

 

[Popeye]

I checked the jar of seasoning and there was no web site listed. The only thing there was a mailing address.

Here it is:

Fortner’s Products

Perfect! Thank you.

Sorry for the late post, but I was wondering if you did the same with Salmon or Walleye?

By the way.....I am drinking a Coors Light right now :lol: :beer:

Walleye gets pan fried with a seasoned corn meal coating. Salmon, several different ways... I marinade it with soy sauce/brown sugar and grill it. Comes out sort of teryaki flavored. Coated with same walleye coating and panfried. When I get home (werking until 6 am) I'll compile the various Salmon recipes I have and either post them or put them on a word doc and can email it to people.

Hmmm... sounds good!
