I am 100% sure it is the same board - just the light is different.
As dbrock says the cut marks are identical.
As well note the top right corner, a little triangular section of the board is lifting up - it is identical on the other picture of the board.

pee-taking aside, I'll just mention that mods are happy enough with the size of the fish in the photo, hence pic hasn't been removed from SAI.

OK, resume pee-taking.

Same boards, different lighting. The cut marks match up perfectly.

Nice recipe. Have ya ever cut down the back bone and made a Bass pouch? Fill it with fennel, onion, little sambuka and cream. Wrap in parchment paper and cook in oven for 15-20 minutes. Tasty!

I hope you got double satisfaction now in this thread.
And i thought its a thread for receipts ... but looks like you are more interested about my cookware, i really hope theres not even a piece of crap in your life ... well you produced some of it already in this thread :D

You can all drive on Ferraris to go fishing, wear Armani suits while fishing and cut the fish fillets on a crystal boards if you want, and im not jealous at all ! :)

Say now whatever you want, i know i did nothing wrong !

You guys are just too quick in labeling .... pity ...

Thanks for that picture of the knife, but at 12 inches i still think it's just a little too long for me, if it had been 10 inches long i would have ordered one from T.W.Murray&co in patrick st i know he does them :wink:
Thanks for going to the trouble all the same :mrgreen: :wink:

Again, ur chip on your shoulder is just not big enough to understand, how simple things do work :mrgreen:

Coal is used only to heat the oven, in the barrel i use alder to get flavor and smoke !

Fair play taking the time to remove doubt on the bass.

honest in say I have never ate a bass, but the thing is that at one of my previos sessions I was attaked by doggies and couple of them were so badly hooked that they would barely survive. I never would realy keep any dogs, but for this time I kept couple of them in order to try them for eating, as I never did.
I just skined them, actually it was worst thing I ever did. I brought them home and just browse internet for recips and stuff like that.
I found plenty from USA, UK, France ect., so one fish I cooked by France as baked with onions and fresh tomatos and another one with one from US as (dogfish nuggets) :D
So, I can tell you that I wasn't dusappointed as I thought, expecialy with baked one, but anyway decent pollack or large flounder is the best for me.
Also I'v tried a wing of ray couple of years ago and I personally think that they only good for the pictures not for table, unless I cooked in wrong way.
as much I can browse from internet that people in UK, US love rays, skates, dogs, even selling in chippers, but here in Ireland I don't think that someone does eat dogs atall
Spesies 2012/ flounder, turbot, colie, whiting,thornback ray, dogfish, pollack, ballan wrasse, corcwing wrasse, dab, cod, sea trout, mackerel, smooth hound
