Lol thanks. But whatever he is eating that makes him THAT happy, I want to try.

It’s a broth made with bonito flakes(dried fish flakes)and kombu(dried seaweed) then you add miso(fermented soy bean paste) and tofu, along with mushrooms, and wakame(more seaweed) then garnish with green onions.

I love it, but no one else in my family does. So I only get the eat it every once in a while. I’m trying to get it down to a single serving. Or else I end up eating it all day.
We catch a lot of Bonita in the gulf of Mexico, they make really good cut bait or used whole for shark bait. I've never eaten it, but I barely can tell the difference between Bonita's and black fin tunas, black fin taste ohh so good. The Bonita's we can catch in site of the beach, the black fin, about 30 miles offshore.

You are almost correct on all counts! But it is actually Star Anise. Not to be confused with regular Anise. Both giving a licorice taste but both 2 completely different plants. My wife uses it all the time. Super awesome when paired with sezechuan peppercorns and chicken. My favorite. Unless of course you knew that and just forgot the star part and I'm a dick.

Bleed them - you will find the meat a bit less fishy & strong.

Every time Gary post Miso or Pho I get insatiable cravings for soup I know cant get without making a 4hr round trip. Even if I want to make it myself, I'd have to drive to find a decent market for ingredients and it still wouldn't come out right.

@curious2garden, is your doggy OK or at least recovering? :sad: That's a long drive and sounds like an even longer night.

Mine scared the hell out of me yesterday at the lake.:cuss: I threw his tennis ball a little farther out than usual and when he went to grab it he disappeared.:shock:
He came up and went back under again. I was ready to dive in (believing he'd aspirated) but he paddled his way to shore with that proud look on his face.
To my surprise, he had his tennis ball AND a golf ball. That little shit intentionally went under to retrieve that second ball o_O

Off to sear some salmon for din :lol:
Thank you, she's ok, she likes to scare the hell out of me too! Mine like to keep falling in my pool! I'm starting to think the yorkie likes to 'swim'. Hope your salmon was good. I'm still eating left over brisket LOL.

That brisket looked damn good. I've got one I'm going to throw on the smoker soon.

Salmon was great but I regret sharing it with the pup.
He's scaring himself awake and my eyes are watering.

Fires are still burning and air quality is worse than ever.
Even healthy people should stay indoors today with the windows closed.
On the bright side, our improvised air scrubber is kicking some serious butt.
It's only been running 4 days and the filter is noticeably darker. :shock:

Highly recommended.
That reminds me, I need to change my filter when I get home. Thanks Chunky..

LOL mine are so small and have such sensitive stomachs I have to be careful what nibbles I give them.
My pups too. o_O
Table scraps are no-no here too but I assumed a little bit of Salmon would be OK.
It was definitely too rich for his tummy. Wont be doing that again, lol.

He does really well with raw veggies though. I give him carrots instead of Milk Bones. He loves em.
