While passing through DC recently for business, I get a phone call from an old Army buddy who wanted to know if I was interested in going angling in the Chesapeake for striped bass or rockfish.\u00a0 It was the kind of phone call you always want to get, but let\u2019s face it, how often does that really happen?\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Early on a Saturday with the last few of those precious sunny, clear, t-shirt days left in the fall we set out on a charter fishing trip for stripped bass or rockfish.\u00a0 Not being from the Chesapeake area, I have to say that I never ate this fish before\u2014but you know what they say about the worst day fishing . . .<\/span><\/p>\n \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n As it turns out the fish is a firm white meat that cooks up tender and delicious\u2014definitely worth the early wake up and Dramamine\u00ae.\u00a0 Now down to the serious business of eating the catch.\u00a0 First is the Filleting process which is deftly handled here in this video by first mate Steve (who shockingly only works for tips).<\/span><\/p>\n \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n
