Malcom Douglas bush tucker style vinegar Herring
Submitted by Dasho on Mon, 2008-02-25 09:30
Watched an episode of Malcom Douglas and his dog where they were stranded on a low tide up in a bush creek.
When the tide was up he was caught some good fish, then when the tide went out and his boat was left high and dry, he showed how to prepare a feed without fire.
He simply cleaned the fish and skinned it, then marinated the fillets in white vinegar. The flesh turned white like it was cooked.
I caught some bull herring last week and thought I would give it a try.
Turned out to be a winner. The flesh was sweet and didn't stink of herring!

crays as well
Can do crays the same. Just a big jar of vinegar, a chilli or two, clove of garlic or two. Pull pots on the way out fishing, tail and shell crays. cut up into bite sized pieces and stuff em in the jar. Half hr or so and mmmmmmmm bewdiful. Serve with ice cold corona ( breakfast beer - 'cause its not quite 8am ) and crusty bread.
Enjoy
If the lord did not mean for us to eat fish and game, he wouldn't have made them outta meat
