directions

  • Clean fish thoroughly.
  • Smear entire fish with Miracle Whip and season with salt, pepper, and dill weed. (Season to taste, it is not necessary to use all of the measurement listed, but I had to satisfy the system.).
  • Lay each fish on a seperate aluminum foil wrap, and place a couple of lemon slices on top.
  • Wrap and seal the edges to keep the juices inside.
  • Place directly on hot coals. You can place the packages on a barbeque grill as well. Just be sure to close the lid while cooking.
  • Cook unattended until done, about 6 to 8 minutes for trout and grayling. Cook salmon, or larger fish a little longer.
  • Remove from the coals, brush off the ashes and serve.

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY

I live in Fairbanks, Alaska at the present, but will soon be traveling over the next year. I'm off to California first, then to the Dakotas, Arizona, Texas and finally back to California to settle down again. I'm a fifth generation Californian and sixteen generations West of the Mississippi. Some of my forefathers settled New Mexico under a commission from the King of Spain. Ranching and Rancho Cooking is a family heritage. I'm recently retired from the Operating Engineers and plan to spend my retirement catering for ranch events and branding calves. My trip to the Dakotas is to obtain a chuck wagon. Along the line I'll pick up a nice matched pair of work mules. It will be from this portable kitchen that I'll prepare and present the finest cowboy cooking anyone ever eats.
