Key Largo Hog Fish! WHAT?

What a view! This was from my new friends Mark and Barbs place on the channel in Key Largo. Mark took me on a quick boat ride to the mangrove swamp where “African Queen” was filmed. I highly recommend this film with Bogart and Hepburn.

Locals told me about Hog Fish — Hog Fish? Bad name –great fish! I had told Mark and Barb about my Grill N Pal and my plans to do grilled fish for dinner. On the menu was Grouper, Ahi Tuna, Hog Fish and Key Largo Shrimp. Just melted some butter, salt & pepper, Lawrys’ seasoning salt, brushed the fish and grilled — so easy ! Barb did rice, mixed veggies, and a salad. This is living large! Did I mention a nice glass of wine to drink?

If you ever get a chance to try Hog Fish — go for it !  This is a delicate fish and flakes easily and is perfect to grill on the Grill N PAL!

Life is short –be open to trying new things – it makes life what it should be! Don’t pet the sweaty stuff ! ( bad joke)

Later! Tom
