Keep the recipes page?

[sand flea]

Last year I added the recipes page at the suggestion of several readers but it doesn't get much traffic and the submissions dropped off a long time ago.

Should I go ahead and drop it? Or should I create a recipes forum?

[Topsailbum]

might as well drop it if the activity has died off.

[Anthony]

I may be just me but I liked the recipes but since there were only a few recipes added, I never really visited the page. I would like a recipe forum but if there is no demand for it, you might as get rid of the recipe page. I really enjoy cooking and wanted to get some of the other member's recipes and could probably keep a recipe forum alive for a while, but again it's your choice.

[Cdog]

Never been there myself.

[cocoflea]

I though it was a good Idea, but it seem like it not catching on so if it helps the site drop it

[Kozlow]

Me either Cdog .

[can't fish today]

Not long ago there was a discussion about eating skates. If the recipes stay in some form, I'd like to see some skate recipes.

Most of the fresh fish I eat are while camping, so a little jiffy cornbread mix, salt, and pepper are about the limit of my skills.

But I do love fresh fish!

If it doesn't cost anything and does't negitively impact the site..keep it. I might just sit down one night and post links to some good recipes. I mean. they don't have to be your own do they? A general call to folks for ideas might be good. And how about some how to tips? I know how to cook salmon, but I might be a bit off on catfish frys or hushpuppies. People should just let us know their favorite way to cook fish. It doesn't have to be fancy, just what they like. ANd no-one had to reveal any secret ingredients!

[skunked]

Matter of fact it doesn't even have to be fish!

[catman]

Flea, can you let it run through the Spring and if no interest is generated dump it then? I've got a couple of good ones to add.

Catman.

grease on the grill or the broiler or on the steamer the secrets all in the recipe :) It's all good ! I have checkd it out but havnt tried any as of yet :cool:

[Fatback]

I like the page.........but if we can't get some more additions......Guess it should go.....If we can build it up to around 20 or more...keep it...if not dump it.:)

[murphman]

I have tried a few of the recipes, IMHO I think we should try and add some more to it for the upcoming year. Fresh fish need fresh recipes....:D

[the rhondel]

I really like the concept ,but I just wish there were more posts on it. Ive seen a ton of great receipes offered up in threads but for some reason they don't make it to that page. Almost nuthin better than headin to the kitchen with a new receipe and your favorite beverage. YUM!!.....the R

[wizardude]

A recipe forum ...:cool:

[hic-lock]

Ditto, I like the page and vote for keeping it up for a bit longer. Maybe there isn’t much action there because there aint any fish being caught and cooked up now.

COME ON SPRING!
:D

[Thrifty Angler]

Seems not a lot of good fishing took place last year. Perhaps that played some role in lack of recipe additions. Me myself, I want to add some crab recipes to it. Unfortunately I need to catch some fresh crabs for that to happen. Need to work out the exact measurements of ingredients, etc.....

Possibly appointing someone as Recipe Board moderator/sort of. Having someone to keep a check on all posts and post recipes direct from regular posts to the recipe board might help fill her up. It would definitely help folks who haven't submitted recipes due to the time involved in typing them up in format, etc.... And it would also free up some of Sandflea's time. We all know how busy he is these days.

Just a suggestion!

And "no", I don't want the job. :rolleyes: This calls for a true culinary expert. Now who likes to cook on P&S. Seems like I recall a certain member. Now what was his name:rolleyes:. Oh..I remember. It's Triggerfish.:jawdrop: :D

[bull city]

Keep it.
I've tried the fish n chips deal. Dern if it won't sumpin gooood !

Finally In Saltwater Heaven

[Jimmy]

I like the page. I was going to submit a recipe just now to give it a jump start but I did not see a link to submit one- How is this done- do I email it to sand flea?

[Anthony]

Yeah, that's how I did it. Seems like there are a lot of good responses. Maybe one day we'll have a P&S cook-off. I've tried SF's salt crusted rockfish, man that was some good stuff. I planned on trying the other recipes as soon as I can get some fresh fish.

[OldBay]

I love the idea of a food related forum. Issues like the following are not addressed in a recipe page, as we currently have.

How long do I smoke a bluefish?

Which brand of malted vinegar is best on my fish and chips?

What is the best temperature to bake catfish filets?

I vote for making a seperate food forum, where members can freely post recipes, and ask questions.

Just my thoughts.

[JettyPaul]

i copied and pasted it to my mail long ago i usually either grill or fry daddy the fish so no recipes sry

[Kajun]

recipe page is great!we just need some more contributions... i have a few i need to write up and submit.

[inawe]

I usually use about a half can of beer n old bay , but sumptn bout that other half a beer , I dont know what I ever did with it :D , n if you go buy crabs tell them you want some of that spice they throw on them n your hooked up:cool:

[Thrifty Angler]

Me submit a basic recipe for steamed crabs:jawdrop: . No way. I mastered the steam method years ago. What I have in mind is crab salad, crab tarts, crab burgers, crabmeat casserole, etc.... Something that goes far beyond cook, crack, peel, drip the juices, etc......

Last year was a bust as far as crabbing went. Seems that oxygen depletion episode or red tide, something like that, dropped the accessible population down a bit. I plan to get an early start this year. And will give the Crabhawk a try. Key is to get em before they become blackened Mama Spongbobs.

Oh, BTW.....I leave out the beer. No vinegar either. That stuff stinks up the house something aweful. Heavy all the way on the seasoning is the way I go.

Thanks for the tips.

[inawe]

chesapeak was more polluted last year hope it clears up [ info outta the news paper just in case inquiry minds wanna know :mad: :mad:

[sand flea]
