Dear Grandma, I grew up in upstate NY, and the back of the house was built out over the lake. I caught thousands of all varieties of freshwater fish. I wasn't real fond of eating fish (or much else) as a young guy, but I dutifully cleaned them and Mom cooked them for hundreds of meals. You are correct that fish are an excellent, free protein source. Hugs.
Hi how wonderful that the back of your house was built out over the lake and you could go fishing anytime for freshwater fish. Take Care❤️Grandma👩🏻
@@GrandmaFeral We were really lucky and I did appreciate that blessing.
What a nice friend you have! My husband and son like to fish for “panfish” such as perch and bluegills as well as bass, crappies and northern pikes. My husband also likes to fish for trout with a buddy of ours.
That's awesome❤️Grandma👩🏻
great video GOD BLESS YOU
Thank you! You too!❤️Grandma👩🏻
Bless you you are a precious lady
Thank you for your kind words❤️Grandma👩🏻
Oh I wish I could go fishing! Lots of fish by me but our lake is so polluted that it's not good to eat them. I'm in Lake County, CA.. My favorite fish is Chilean Sea Bass. Thank you Grandma and Grandpa! 💗
Hi Sorry to hear that the lake is polluted. The Chilean Sea Bass is so good. Take Care❤️Grandma👩🏻& Grandpa👨🍳
Nice
Thanks❤️Grandma👩🏻
Thank you Grandma for sharing the info. We used to have a boat by the Chesapeake bay. We fished for Spanish mackerel, perch, striped bass and crabs. Slim pickings and we only had enough for ourselves because we ate all we caught. We since have sold the boat since its so expensive and labor intensive but we miss the fresh fish. LOL. 😅
That is awesome! I always wanted to own a boat. I had an Uncle that owned a boat and he would take us fishing. I know the upkeep is very expensive.❤️Grandma👩🏻
Growing up in Texas, my mom cooked a lot of catfish. Many don’t like it as it’s called a bottom feeder or trash fish, but it is delicious fried. I think that it’s something you had to grow up with in order to like it. Even though my mom was from Chicago, when she and her family moved to Oklahoma, she was a young girl, so she appreciated a lot of southern food.
Hi I have to say I don’t like catfish for that reason but if I grew up eating it I probably would like it.❤️Grandma👩🏻
Wow,a fish with teeth like ours! Another great video, love you Grandma and Grandpa and the kitties 💕
Hi Diane most people are amazed when they hear the fish has human like teeth. The Sheepshead Fish is so delicious. It gets it name from its uncanny resemblance to a sheep’s mouth. Take Care ❤️Grandma👩🏻Grandpa👨🍳& the Kitty’s 🐈🐈⬛
My uncle John runs a nonprofit called keep kids fishing doing it 5 years now just taught a blind man how to fish
Kudos! That is a wonderful thing to do and hearing about it warms my heart! 💗
Thank you for sharing this heartwarming story. God Bless your Uncle John❤️Grandma👩🏻
WONDERFUL!! This is how I was raised and how I raised my 3 children. Fishing, hunting and foraging is still the best way to eat.
Thank you for sharing how you were raised and your children.❤️Grandma👩🏻
@@GrandmaFeral than you and Grandpa Feral for sharing this knowledge with so many people.❤️🤗
I used to fish a lot when I was younger. The fish in the area were Flathead and Yellowtail. I used to be able to buy little portable single use bbq/grills for $1 so would often cook the fish right next to the water. Working for the Navy I was always near water so during work I'd throw a few lines in the water and would end up with free dinner. Thanks for the video Grandma.
Hi thank you for sharing that you went fishing a lot when you were younger. We have never heard of Flathead or Yellowtail Fish. We learn something new everyday. It is wonderful when you can have a free meal. Take Care❤️Grandma👩🏻& Grandpa👨🍳
Hi grandma and grandpa , what a blessing that you get this fish not only given to you, but it’s already cleaned and filleted . And how nice of it it is for you to share with others. I love fish as you know ! We fish her in Florida often and ironically the the fish, you catch most often is grouper and sheepshead, as well as Hogfish here in Florida. Hogfish is the best tasting fish ever. To me, it sort taste like a cross between cold water lobster and crab. It’s a ferry nice white delicate meat and actually are pink with a crest on the top and sound like a pig when you take them out of the water when they snort 😅. I had no idea that species of fish were up there in the north like that.
I hope you are both well and I am so glad that you posted this video as I was wondering how you both were……stay well and God Bless you both ! ….Brian
Hi Brian Grandpa and I have been busy getting things done in the yard before the cold weather comes and winter is here. At least in Florida you have the nice weather year round. We also have to get out the winter coats and boots. We hope this winter we have no heavy snow. Yes we are blessed to get all this delicious fish. We have never had Hogfish. I don’t think we would like the taste since we are not fond of Lobster or Crab. Hope you are doing well. Take Care❤️Grandma👩🏻& Grandpa👨🍳
Growing up in my teens we use to fish for flounder. It helped supplement our diet as we were low income. We also went out on rowboats to do crabbing. The cost of renting the row boats was minimal and the amount of crabs we caught was amazing. I learned to clean large baskets of crabs we made crab spaghetti sauce. Its was yummy. Your fish looks interesting. You will have some delicious fish dinners.
That is awesome! ❤️Grandma👩🏻
I loved fishing with my parents. Daddy told me once if I wanted to fish I had to hook the worm and taught me how. I haven't been fishing in ages. My Mom and I used to go crabbing. Nice of your friend to give you his catch. Looks like you have a good amount for meals. In Va we used to catch lots of Flounder and some Trout.
That's awesome and have a good day❤️Grandma👩🏻
We like salmon, crab, and clams out here in the Pacific Northwest. As a kid I never thought about the cost saving. It was just a fun thing to do!
Hi as a child you would never think about the cost savings only about the fun. I like salmon and clams but never fond of crab.❤️Grandma👩🏻
Really loved you and Grandpas video on polish raisin bread as I lost my mother recipe years ago and now I can once again make it for the holidays.
When I go fishing these days it is for either lake bass or Fluke/Flounder or for Blue Crabs.
Hoping one day you will make a video on Beet Soup which my mother made (I am 63 and she grewup in the Great Depression) which she used pureed beet, cream and vinegar along with elbow macaroni and Muckees skinless hotdogs.
Hi glad you now have the recipe for the polish raisin bread. So delicious! Thank you for the suggestion of making a video on how to make Beet Soup.❤️Grandma👩🏻
I've never been much for fishing, being more of a plant and mushroom forager in retirement. One of my favorite fishing memories, though, is a camping trip to Salmon la Sac when I was in my teens. The river was fun to wade and fish in, and the rainbow trout, rolled in cornmeal, and fried in butter over the open fire, was heavenly. It remains one of the most delicious fish I've eaten.
Enjoy your friend's generous gifts - he's a real sweetheart. ❤🐡❤🐟❤
This reminds me that every year I start National Poetry Writing Month off with a fish poem, because the French custom on April 1st is to stick a paper fish on someone's back or play other jokes, and say 'Poisson d'Avril!' (April fish!) when discovered. Here is one from 2020, called 'Fish List', which spoofs list poems and wish lists; I hereby dedicate it to your friend. Best read aloud!

Wobbegong, fingerling, amberjack, dab.
Albacore, alevin, gillaroo, brill,

That is awesome!❤️Grandma👩🏻
Growing up in MN (over 10,000 lakes) fishing was a natural things to do. My favorite to catch are bass or northern, but perch and crappies were more likely the ones you would catch.
That is awesome!❤️Grandma👩🏻
In Michigan you "Smelt Dip" When the small fish run in the spring, you just stand in waist-deep water and scoop up hundreds with a net. There are millions. I remember being knocked over by them. Pan fried they are delicious. The trouble is, what to do with thousands you dipped at one time! Our generation "saved money: by eating everything....no picking eating.
Hi enjoyed reading your comment. I agree we saved money by eating everything. Have a nice day❤️Grandma👩🏻
How wonderful! I am going crabbing on the west coast when they are in season in November. Trying the fishing rod and snare method. Blessings to u and yours. 😊
Sounds great! Good Luck!❤️Grandma👩🏻
I love fishing and love eating fish! That’s so nice your friend shares his catch! Just found y’all’s channel, and I’m in love with it. I’m going to be trying that Wind Cake recipe! 🧡
Thanks and welcome❤️Grandma👩🏻
Thanks Grandma! Great suggestion! Get food, relaxation and entertain you kids all at once....for free!
Yes. I grew up on the Maine coast. My Dad taught me how to fish when I was little.
That fish with the human like teeth is very peculiar. New one for me.
Hope you and Grandpa are safe and not overrun with illegals. Thought about you the other day when I watched the news. ❤❤❤
Hi Marty Rose nice to hear that you grew up on the Maine coast and your Dad taught you how to fish. The sheepshead fish is so delicious. Most people are amazed that it has human like teeth. So far Long Island is not like New York City. Take Care❤️Grandma👩🏻
I taught my neighbor how to clean and fillet fish and he shares his catch with me, great guy!
That is awesome!❤️Grandma👩🏻
I'm so glad that your friend shared the fish with you. I don't like to fish but I love to eat fish especially haddock. Since we moved from NY to GA we don't get haddock.
Yes, thank you. We like haddock also.❤️Grandma👩🏻
Hey Grandma and Grandpa How are things hopefully going well. In my youth I used to go fishing in Brigintine NJ with my friends and we went for Flounder, caught some big ones too!! We enjoyed eating them, Thanks for Sharing This and have a good day 👍‼️😊😺
Hi William so far everything is going well for Grandpa and I. Thanks for sharing that you used to go fishing for flounder. Flounder is one of our favorite fish. Have a great day❤️Grandma👩🏻& Grandpa👨🍳
Thanks Grandma! I love fishing!! In the States I'd fish fresh water fish. Catfish, bass, sunfish. Caught crabs at Fishermans Wharf in San Fran with a friend. I always giggled while telling my family and snooty acquaintances that I caught crabs in San Fran! LMAO Then saltwater here in NZ...snapper mostly. Kingfish and caught a few baby sharks. I do love all kinds of seafood. A friend dives for crayfish..a relative of the yummy lobster! Lobster is my FAV! I adore catfish done southern style. I did catch a 18 pound catfish with my bare hands in a lake in the past! Wink
You catch looks yummy. Are you going to show us some recipes?
Big hugs to you both!!
Hi Interesting! Thank you for sharing all the fish you have caught especially baby sharks. We don’t eat Lobster, Catfish or Crabs. Hope you are doing well. Take Care❤️Grandma👩🏻
@@GrandmaFeral Thanks Grandma! I'm hanging in there. I do have two new rescue feline babies! Yay! First one is an Ocicat named BonBon. She will turn 1yo on Dec 30th. Then another girl from another rescue place approved me to adopt Charlotte. She is a very dainty b/w tuxedo baby! She is 1.5yo. They love being sisters! Omg they have a great time together! Charlotte had a really bad beginning to life and she has come along so well! She was dumped in the country and found her way to a farm for help. She never gave up trying to get close to the farmers. They knew she must have been someone's in the past and was dumped. So they knew there was hope. They surrendered her to a rescue place. I saw her pic on an advert and fell in love! I love both of them so much!! They make me smile again. No one will ever replace my Bella girl but these too are characters and make me happy! Just wanted to fill you in. 🥰 I keep in touch with both rescue ladies and they both say I'm an feline whisperer! BonBon's foster mom has another rescue furkid that I met when I picked up BonBon and he never opens up to anyone but he rolled over for me to tickle tummy! She wants me to have Sylvester soon. He is a tuxedo boy. I'm thinking about it. I told her after I move into my new place, I will be able to take him. BonBon knows Sylvester already. So should be fun!! 😁🥳 Big hugs!!
I go fishing with my brother on the Mississippi River. We catch crappie, blue gill, catfish, sheep head, carp, bass. We mostly only keep the crappie and catfish but I want to learn how to use the less popular ones too. Great idea! I love beer battered fish filets but baked and pan fried is good too. My mom used to grind it and mix it with bread and spices and make patties and even the family members who don’t like eating fish would eat it and enjoy it.
That is awesome! ❤️Grandma👩🏻
Love fishing. We like Red fish
Hi I have never had Red fish but I’ve had Red Snapper❤️Grandma👩🏻
just found this channel and love it. Sounds like im listening to my family speaking! i grew up in Queens and now live out on the island. Look foward to watching (and listening) to more videos
Welcome! We are glad to hear you live out on the island and you love my channel.❤️Grandma👩🏻& Grandpa👨🍳
Thank you 😢
You so welcome❤️Grandma👩🏻
Grandma could you tell people to save all their fat drippings such as bacon fat, chicken fat and different ways they used it in recipes to replace butter that was rationed. I heard that they used bacon fat in place of butter on bread or toast. I have used chicken fat in my Dumplings for years. Also it is a big ingredient in Jewish cooking. I particularly enjoy using bacon fat when making popcorn on the stove top.
I'm from the lowest corner of South Carolina. I've eaten a lot of sheephead.
I asked dad one time what it was like during the depression. He said...
we were so poor,
we didn't know there was a depression. 😂
Hi I enjoy reading your comments. I like your Dad’s answer. Growing up my Aunt always talked about the Great Depression. She told me many times how hungry she was. One day she was walking down the street and saw a slice of moldy bread she picked it up and ate it so fast. She said as long as she lived she will never forget that. I think that was one of the reason she helped many people who were in need and she was very generous all her life. Have a nice day❤️Grandma👩🏻
Oh I love sheepshead, had it first tome in Fla..Can't get it here in WV..
Hi we just had it for dinner the other day. So delicious!❤️Grandma👩🏻
My husband likes to go fishing for eel and smoke it. We love smoked eel it is a delicacy in the Netherlands and very expensive to buy.
Thanks for sharing!❤️Grandma👩🏻
When i was very young we didnt have much and i would work for an older lady and she paid me in smelt lol ... i fried them and we were very happy
Your comment reminds me of my Mom’s family and how they worked at very young ages.❤️Grandma👩🏻
Cod 🎣😻
We also like Cod❤️Grandma👩🏻
Funny, but I'm probably the only Yup'ik Eskimo (yes, Yup'ik don't mind Eskimo, we prefer it as we are NOT Inuit) that doesn't like fish or snow...lol Though I used to love Skipper's and the occasionally fish fingers. Nice and uber processed so it doesn't look or taste like fish at all....lol
Interesting! ❤️Grandma👩🏻
ever try smelt ? Grandma Feral
Hi I have never tried smelt. Thank you so much for watching❤️Grandma👩🏻
❤️sheepshead
Hi we just had some for dinner. Delicious❤️Grandma👩🏻
@@GrandmaFeral jealous;)
Thanks for this upload, many low incomers could rely on canned sardines as well.
Absolutely!❤️Grandma👩🏻
