Anyone ever had fish sausage?

Post by yooper_fisher » Fri Apr 29, 2011 10:37 pm

I was just thinking, back when I was a kid in Michigan there was a commercial fishing outfit where you could get fresh/smoked fish and fish sausage. Anyone around here ever hear of such a thing as fish sausage and if so do you know where a guy could get some? It was pretty good on occassion and now that I'm thinking of it I really want some.

Fish sausage? I grew up in Michigan and the only place that I ever saw the stuff was in the UP. My parents had a cottage on Lake Gogebic in the west end and I can remember seeing signs for smoked fish (usually whitefish or chubs) all along the upper peninsula. I never really cared for the stuff. I've tried to make sausage a couple of times from salmon or cod but never really liked it.

Wolverine, I also grew up in the UP. A lot of the places that had the smoked fish also had the sausage. It was made out of whitefish if I recall, seemed like it was better than salmon as making sausage out of salmon would be a waste

I make a fish sausage using Halibut,sole,ling/true cod, black cod and a lil salmon.I grind it all fine and form balls . I put egg and a coarse bread crumb meal and eggs w/ seasoning. Boil in water with onions celery and carrots. I drain off the milky water and put into a bowl of fish stock.(easy to make ).Serve it with horseradish and your good to go.
When youre up to your rear end in alligators,its hard to remember that the initial plan was to drain the swamp.
