Wild Game and Fish

Throwback Saturday to my bachelor party in Ensenada. 2005 and a four day weekend at a vacation rental on the beach. Went fishing and for the most part only ran into monster Humboldt squid. We soaked them in milk, but they were still tough as leather. The fish we did catch made killer ceviche.

Deer steaks for the holiday meal. These were cut off the back hams instead of the usual backstrap. Little tougher than the backstrap but still a great dinner. Kicking myself for grinding these into ground the last couple of years.

When we butcher deer, I cut as much as possible into steaks. My family cannot get enough of it so usually I break down both hind quarters and make some nice steak cuts and leave the small pieces and trimmings aside to grind up with the shoulders.

I cant believe I have not poked my head in this thread since the pandemic started. I suppose its because we have cleaned out our supply of wild game and are anxiously awaiting this weekends archery opener. :)

Also, our new home build has been completely consuming me. I have an extra garage bay in the new house dedicated to processing game with a sink, fridge, freezer and work bench with extra outlets for all my future game processing toys.

Im not there yet but looking forward to trying my hand at making sausages and other assorted tubular meats.
