Whole Fish Sous Vide Red Snapper – Super Tasty & Easy Recipe
I am from the midwest and generally the fish we get around here, we done caught'em ourselves! Large Mouth Bass, Catfish, Crappie, etc., etc. And believe me, I've got some pictures of me (and my family) with their biggest catch on my phone. Fishing is just one of those things that create some of the most vivid and fun memories of the good ole days of sunrise fishing with my family... Fishing is quite an animalistic experience of man vs. fish and it's a battle of the wits to see who survives. Ok, maybe a bit dramatic but outsmarting a big one will forever give you a bit of pride that you'll ...
