It Doesn’t Get More Local Than This…

Driving slowly in the rain along the Cape, looking for the fish guy. Details as to his wherabouts are vague

Along comes this fishing boat. Three Native guys, funny and sweet. Sell us a whole trout for five dollars.

There’s such casual pride in this gesture.

“How should I cook it?” I ask. “Stuff it,” says the guy. “With what?” “Stuffing!” he says.

The rain stops. Back at the campsite, the fish gets stuffed with lemon and lime, dill, almonds and butter, and is then wrapped in foil and placed on a grill over the campfire.

Paired with pasta coated in homemade pesto and grilled corn from the Owen Sound Farmers Market, it’s an awesome meal to have as the sun begins to set over Cape Croker.
