We went ice fishing today! It was pretty warm today so even though it was windy on the lake it was just the usual cold! :P
Here is Dave, my mountain man! :lol:

And me and Tucker - he loved it out there!

Here is the fried perch... Prepping for my pie!

I love it - when it's cooked right (courtesy of the mountain man) it peels right off the bone

I picked up some great fresh dough from my local pizza place; my sauce was onions, garlic, fresh basil, diced tomatoes, s/p, cayenne pepper and soy sauce.

Here it is, almost completely dressed... Perch(sprinkled with DP swamp venom), thin red onion, orange pepper, black olives, and jalepenos on David's side

Dressed, with mozz and Monterey jack

Cooked at about 500, and ready to eat!

Crust was great, and the flavor was AMAZING! It was definately an experiment worth repeating!

    OMG, that looks SOOOOOO good, Julia!! Never heard of a fish pizza (well, except anchovies), but as long as there are no artichoke hearts involved, I'm good with that! :laugh:

    Tucker is awesome, BTW!!

    I hate it when I go to the kitchen for food and all I find are ingredients!

    Thanks, Michael! I didn't think I could lose - pretty basic pie (except for the perch part! :silly: ) but it was better than I thought - the cayenne in the sauce and the venom on the perch gave it a perfect kick! Tucker is my boy... ;)

    Man-Oh-Man... that looks wonderful. I sure like ice fishin' and perch is one of my favorites. Problem is I could never wait long enough to get them on a pizza.

    Maybe I'll make a mental note to give that a try.

    Our daily limit is 50. Yes fifty. And get this, on several reservoirs, we can have 6 lines (a tip-up or a rod is one line) at one time. Needless to say the action gets really hot when they are hitting.

    No pics of the fish... It's kind of a regular thing for us... Had I known I was going to post perch pizza, I would have taken some! :) :laugh:

    "perch pizza" has to be the worst tag line of the year :sick:
    But damn it turned out good. And an outstanding looking Tucker!
    Never thought that had a chance.

    No limit on perch here now; used to be 50. Tip ups limited to 15 pp on the lake; 7 on ponds.

    I agree with Poolman, my first thought was that looks like a Zippy pie! Looks wonderful Julia nd I'm not a pepper person.

    Happy New Year to you and yours,

  • Aww, Dave is so cute especially with the tree coming out of his hat like that!

    Perch pizza, hmmm, I would like to try that. Can't say the same about ice fishing!

    Happy New Year to you both!

    Julia, lovely photos. Love the one of you with little Tucker! :)

    That's the first and probably the only time I'll see perch pizza. That's an original! I wouldn't mind trying one of those.
