Does anyone have the recipe for a Door County, Wisconsin Fishboil? As I remember it, it included potatoes, onions, corn on the cob, and fresh whitefish. Thank you. Howard David Tektronix, Inc.

Thank you. > > Howard David > Tektronix, Inc. The version I've had didn't really have a recipe. You throw whatever you have into a HUGE pot with lots of water and simmer for a LONG time (I remember 4-6 hours). The ingredients I've seen are fish (doesn't have to be whitefish; lake trout and salmon are wonderful too), onions, potatoes, and a bunch of dill (the plant itself rather than the dried version that comes in jars--my dad used to buy a lot in the summer and freeze it for future use). We always made the corn on the side: 1) take the silk out, but leave the husks on 2) soak in barrel of water all afternoon 3) roast on grill until outer husks get charred 4) pull husks back and use as handle 5) dip in butter and enjoy I can't vouch for the validity of this version--I'm from Milwaukee myself (I good couple hours drive away from Door County).

You also need a giant pot, big fire, some salt, and a lotta practice...the person mixing up the batch when I was there was called a "boilmaster"... -- --- Rob DeMillo Madison Academic Computer Center ...seismo!uwvax!uwmacc!demillo / =|-- = \ = [][][] "...I don't know what this thing does, but it's pointing in your direction."
