    I don't like fish
    1. cookingasshole
      what? Fish is the bomb!
    2. Deray28
      I can eat breaded fish, if I'm up to it. In ceviche I can eat it no problem. In general, cooked fish is not something appetizing for me. Yes, I'm crazy.
    3. cookingasshole
      oh I love ceviche!
    4. Deray28
      I remember another fish I do like, smoked tuna, only in one way though, a family recipe.
    5. cookingasshole
      I have never had smoked tuna...sounds awesome though

    Ahhhh, this is a fave of Cathy's! Very nice, very nice.
    1. cookingasshole
      thank you very much. I felt I nailed this on the "steelhead"...zing!
    2. cathy13
      Sorry honey, you were close but it is cedar planked salmon that I love!
  3. LolitaV
    this is something i am gonna eat. i love fish, specially fish with the head still on. I make marionettes out of the heads and put on food theater at the table for the children. 2 days ago we had bush and obama
    1. cookingasshole
      that is not crazy at all...
    2. LolitaV
      lolz!!! I know, i know but my kids r jerks i gotta work hard to entertain them, lol
  4. harveyavatar
    That does look delicious.
    1. cookingasshole
      thank you! I thought I did a pretty bang up job on it.
  5. SoftwareGal
    After the cooking, you taste and feel the fish like fish right? or else?
  6. LolitaV
    oh mg lolzzzzz!!!!
    if i keep this laughing, my rectal muscles might give way. you guys r the bizzzzzzzzzzzzzznoob
    1. cookingasshole
      that paints an interesting picture...
  7. TJlubrano
    Yeah the recipe looks soo tasty! Thumbs up!! Oh and thanks for the reply on your blog! Asparagus and brown rice sounds very tasty as well! No sauce? I need to get a wooden board, just so I can make this recipe! *goes out shopping*
    1. cookingasshole
      be sure to get a specialty plank and soak it heavily!
    2. TJlubrano
      Aye Aye sir! Will do! *puts back the chainsaw and goes shopping in a cuisine supply store*
    3. cookingasshole
      they can be pricey which is funny because it is a plank of wood...but it is worth it.
  8. amybyrd21
    you can buy them at a home supply store as long as it is not treated with anything pressure treated or any other funky chemicals. Buy cabinet grade and you get alot more wood for the price. I have done it in the past. Someone told me and I am now passing it on.
    1. cookingasshole
      good idea!
    2. TJlubrano
      Oh cool! Thanks for sharing that!! If I'm not mistaken the fish also gets a distinguished flavor right? A bit smokey? Or is this another cooking technique?
    3. cookingasshole
      exactly...the cedar imparts a nice smokey flavor
  9. amybyrd21
    if you know a person that makes cabinets grabe up the saw dust too it is great for smoking things (my cardboard smoker) and they alwasy have scrap wood laying around
    1. cookingasshole
      another great idea!
    2. FreakSmack
      furniture makers too - make sure it's not coming from treated wood though you don't want to smoke chemicals in your food - well maybe you do, I'm not judging
    3. cookingasshole
      that might be fun...
  10. exit2013
    It looks tasty, I wish I could smell it through the computer!
  11. Shiley
    Allergic to fish. But, I agree with the whole crazy bit.
  12. Rainhat
    Oh, man that looks good... I love fish, and it looks like you got your hands on *the* perfect piece of it as well. I have to try cooking this.
  13. yourfindit
    E-mail me a piece
    1. cookingasshole
      too bad...I ate it all

      but as we speak I am throwing a pork roast on the grill and slow cooking the sh*t out of it.
    2. yourfindit
      I know how that goes...Slow grilled till its fall off the bone soft. Oh boy!
    3. cookingasshole
      The first time I did it years ago I was like "Holy Mother of Jesus!" It is so freaking good that way, and so juicy.
  14. tcinvestor
    Hump Day Wednesday Barbeque party at CA's place 7pm sharp. ;-) and you better have a few cold ones on ice to wash down that tasty grub.
    1. cookingasshole
      you better believe it!
  15. Sam1982
    That looks awesome - interesting way of cooking it, I've never seen it done like that.
    1. cookingasshole
      it is a common practice in the Pacific Northwest...typically reserved for Salmon.
  16. Sam1982
    I normally sit mine on a cooling rack in an oven tray and sprinkle the bottom of the tray with woodchips, wrap the whole lot in foil and cook it on a low heat on the BBQ - pays to get the woodchips smoking first though.
    1. cookingasshole
      that's a good idea!
    2. yourfindit
      CA have you ever heard about this Indian pepper called Bhut Jolokia? Its supposed to be the hottest pepper in the world. Those things set any meal on fire...I sprinkled a lil bit in some meatball sauce and nobody could finish it.
    3. cookingasshole
      aka the ghost pepper? I have never seen one in person
    4. yourfindit
      Yes sir! The legendary ghost pepper. I won't advice you to try cooking with them unless you really like spicy food.
    5. Sam1982
      Im thinking of making a cold smoker using a similar technique, out of two (new) rubbish tins and some plastic drain pipe. One tin would serve as a chamber for the woodchips/heat and smoke, the other would be for the meat to be smoked. The pipe would obviously the way in which the smoke travels from one tin to the other.

    I have to figure out a way to build a makeshift grill in the middle of a New York City apartment so I can whip-up Cooking Asshole's delicious recipes.

    Any ideas?
    1. amybyrd21
      i can tell you how to make a smoker out of a cardboard box, a small cast iron skillet, wood shavings and a rack from your grill and a small fan. That is as close as I can get
    2. cookingasshole
      hibachi on your stoop?
  18. JamCan
    I have a question about your blogpost.

    "it is a rainbow trout that spends a large portion of its life in the Pacific Ocean."

    Where does it spend the other small portion of its life??? Are they born outside the water or something???
    1. cookingasshole
      uh...freshwater?
    2. FreakSmack
      that tiny portion is spent on vacation in the bahamas.... duh
    3. JamCan
      LOL don't hate!! Some of us don't study spawning.
  19. LisaNYC
    I'm on the top floor and there's no stoop outside! I'm thinking of just buying a grill and firing it up in my living room. It'll be worth it to have that grilled cedar plank steelhead! I can rip up one of the floorboards for the plank.
    1. FreakSmack
      this can be done in the oven

      no chance of putting a grill on the roof?
    2. cookingasshole
      yeah what about roof access?
  20. LisaNYC
    The door to the roof is wired with an alarm, and the roof also has video security. Security doesn't even allow us up there on July 4th anymore to watch the Macy's fireworks on the East River. I think it's all that post-9/11 paranoia.
    1. cookingasshole
      what about a friend's place or courtyard or public park?
  21. LisaNYC
    It would have to be a friend way out of town, since nobody is allowed grills in their apartment. NYC smaller parks don't allow grilling either - but maybe there are some areas of Central Park that do. I'll check.

    Have you ever used one of those Mike Tyson crappola grills?
    1. cookingasshole
      LOL!! George Forman? Those suck but cuisinart makes some good ones. That is what I have.
  22. FreakSmack
    What you need is a grill tray
    something that hooks on a window with a platform and a safety rail so the grill doesn't fall
    then you just do your grilling inside through an open window
    i'm sure dangling hot coals above a street is some kind of safety hazzard though
    1. cookingasshole
      that sounds like a fire marshal bill skit
  23. FreakSmack
    Let me show you something
  24. LisaNYC
    FreakSmack......LOL the FDNY would be here in a NY minute if I did that!
    1. FreakSmack
      perhaps you should be the face for grillers rights - fight the system
  25. LisaNYC
    Yeah, I think some people have tried that! But there are so many strict fire codes here that are impossible to find loopholes in.
    1. cookingasshole
      maybe I should start doing "oven substitute recipes" for my grilling stuff
  26. Jeunelle
    Wow I love wild salmon, wild fish in general.
    This looks delicious, dude you are a genius.
    1. cookingasshole
      Thank you!
    2. Jeunelle
      I hope to see you have your own cooking show one day.
      If I were you I would buy cookingasshole.tv immediately.
      You never know when that domain would come in handy.
    3. Jeunelle
      Ah yes but TV is for a Tv channel
      I did a search yesterday to find out that Jeunelle.com is a nude site for girls. The artwork is good quality nudes so I don't mind but I usually go by JeunelleFoster.com and not Jeunelle anyways. If I was smart and quick, years ago I would of bought Jeunelle.com just to keep it virginal.
    4. cookingasshole
      I really want an HBO late night show...that would be sweet
    5. Jeunelle
      Yes that would be Awesome
      You should log into Current.com and see if they have a spot for you.
    6. cookingasshole
      what is the basic gist of that place?
  27. Jeunelle
    They have the show on Cable Tv.
    It's usually a comedy type current news show
    1. cookingasshole
      hrmmm...interesting!
    2. amybyrd21
      They will pay for what they use I just checked it out looks intresting for any one that has a video camera
    3. Jeunelle
      Yup or check out Mydamnchannel.com
      If you can do your own show and you got some good views you can get paid for all the shows you produce and own the rights to it too.
  28. LisaNYC
    I tried to get Cooking Asshole to audition for the next season of The Next Food Network Star because I think he'd be awesome.
    1. cookingasshole
      I am too freak show to be a legitimate contestant...I couldn't keep my mouth under control
    2. JamCan
      That's what ***beeeep*** is for.
  29. LisaNYC
    For one million a year I bet you could! Besides, it's cable - you wouldn't really have to.
  30. AchEmpire
    People are only seen as you portray them, not how you should know them. No one is crazy, & I like frying catfish
    1. cookingasshole
      I LOVE blackened catfish
