Quick Trip Thursday Night

[OVERKILL]

Phu brought his mini me with him and we did a quick trip. The Famous Choppedliver gigs have a lot of holding power as evidenced by gigging the huge Drum.

Water was very muddy and wind was whipping.

Fine looking son Phu. I did the same thing he did on the way home most of the day yesterday. Hitting Perdido tonight. If that isn't a testament to Choppedlivers giggs nothing is. 30 0r 40 lbs. on the end of a pole and it held. WOW

Phu is a very picky eater.

He WILL eat Ling, Flounder, Scamp, Snapper, Grouper, Triggerfish and Mahi Mahi.


I have Thai friends that eat everything that swims. They pretty much get everything else (Drum, Mullet, etc.). Wanted to clear that up as I've had requests for various methods of Drum preparation and recipes that Phu or myself use.

This is one recipe that comes to mind....
Spicy Black Drum Nuggets
28 lbs black drum fillets, cut into bite-sized chunks
13 eggs, slightly beaten
8 cups milk
5 cans beer
30 tablespoons prepared mustard
15 teaspoons Tabasco sauce
28 teaspoons salt, divided
25 teaspoons black pepper, divided
15 teaspoons cayenne pepper, divided
32 cups fine yellow corn flour
5 gallons of vegetable oil
In a mixing bowl (bath tub works best) whisk together eggs, milk, beer, mustard, Tabasco, and half of the salt and pepper. Place black drum in egg mixture, coating well; cover, refrigerate, and let soak for about 1 hour. Mix corn flour with the remaining salt and peppers in a shallow, wide bowl. Preheat oil in deep fryer to about 370 degrees. Remove black drum from mixture and dredge with corn flour mixture. Fry black drum until the fish nuggets float to the surface and turn golden brown, taking care not to overcook. Place black drum nuggets on paper towels to drain. Serves 40-60.
