went blackfishing yesterday, caught a few nice ones. it’s a raw, cold, wet day today, perfect for making crafty anglers drunken blackfish stew. someone here gave me that recipe, i am in your debt, christ it’s good on a day like today. i add a few shrimp, otherwise follow it to a “t”.

I miss crafty. He was a hoot.

Good time of year to post it once again.

I'll bring this up every year during fall blackfish season. In my house, this recipe really is a required part of what it means to be alive in the fall.
