Yellow Tail Fish Platter

Today I felt a bit sad at the sight of this dead yellow tail when I unwrapped the package from the fish market. He was so beautiful lying there. I decided to honor him as my food source by making a fish platter. The platter is drying in the cabinet; it's about  14 x 10 inches, sgraffito and carving with multiple underglazes.





Later I cooked him on the grill with lime slices and wrapped in bacon. This post is part of Mud Colony what's happening in the studio this week. Thanks for reading and for all your comments.

    Wrapped in bacon and slices of lime ... yum! Next time you will be able to serve it on a beautiful platter. You've captured the yellow tail's delicate colouring perfectly.

    Hi Robyn, thanks, I was thinking about serving fish on the platter after I made it. I hope the colors look as nice after I put the clear glaze over the top.

    The platter is wonderful. I see even fish gets better with bacon.

    Both the fish and the platter looks so delicious! The platter reminds me of the Japanese fish stamp printing (gyotaku). I love how you textured the platter, too.

    Love fish especially salmon almost as much as the bears to.

    Someone once told me that it's not so bad to eat an animal as long as you honor that animal's sprit. I think you did that quite well in the platter and in the meal.

    Hi Barbara, thanks, I hope it dries up nice and doesn't get any cracks, I like this one.

    Hi Joanne, thanks, the bacon keeps the fish from sticking to the grill when I cook it. I get bacon that doesn't have any nitrates in it.

    Hi Helen, thanks, oh I love the salmon too, we have really taken to all the fresh fish here in Florida.

    Hi Lori, thanks, I felt better after I made the platter, the fish was so beautiful looking.

    Hi Claudia, thanks, hope the platter fires up nicely, looking forward to it. The bacon helps keep the fish together and keep it moist, great over the campfire grill too.
