I was looking for a subject tonight, and realized I’d never written about my dehydrators, though I’ve written many articles that included them as an important background player.

Drying Fish – Kingfish
I was given a fresh-caught a couple days ago, and promptly sliced up some steaks and fried it. Lovely! Kingfish is a mackerel, one of the larger ones. The offer a nice fight, and if properly handled and prepared, a tasty meal.
