Some of my favorite fish was eaten while camping at Stony Lake, MN. Several families would go up in the summers, the dads fished a lot, the moms cooked a lot and the kids ate A LOT!! Depending on who was seasoning the fish, it would always taste a bit different, but always delicious! Everyone was always too busy cooking to talk about what they put in the fish, but I loved watching and sometimes helping them make it! My husband and I have decided to incorporate more fish into our meals, which shouldn't be too hard since our 2 year old asks for it almost every day for lunch. I need variety, and without some creativity, fish can become boring! While this fish was nowhere near the same as those fried delicious pieces of blue gill, I got to thinking about those fun memories from the lake as well as all of the creative work all of the parents and came up with this recipe today! We all loved it and will be having it again soon since it was so easy and delicious!
