Yesterday I went to exchange my clay a shorter drive over the mountain. Luckily it was frosty in the valleys but not on the mountain top.
When ever we drive over the mountain on
Richard Russel Parkway we always remember the
river otters we saw and now call the curve in the road where we saw them, Otter Curve. Gary was wondering what otter eat and I said I am sure it's fish, probably trout in the streams. I also remember the
baby bear cub I saw which was hopefully rescued from starvation by my calling Fish and Game about him.
When I got home I was thinking about what the river otters eat and I made three trout platters, a brook trout, a brown trout, and a rainbow trout. Thanks for reading and for all your comments.
Hello Linda,
ReplyDeleteYour fishy platters are such fun!
Yesterday evening we dined wonderfully well on trout......if only they had been served in such style!
Hi Jane and Lance, thanks, oh fresh trout is so good.
DeleteI would like to have some baked trout on those trout platters :)
ReplyDeleteHi Keith, thanks, I think the best trout I ever had was when I caught it in the mountains fresh from the lake and I stuffed it with lemon and wrapped it with bacon and cooked it over the campfire. oh so good.
DeleteThese are beautiful!
ReplyDeleteHi Barbara, thanks, it's fun blending all the colors for the trout colors which are quite colorful.
DeleteYummy, I am now "hankering after" some fresh trout. And if it weren't so far to get to the Pisgah Inn Restaurant up on the Parkway I'd probably have it soon. Lovely trout platters!
ReplyDeleteHi Barb, thanks, sounds like a good recommendation for a restaurant. The best restaurant trout I ever had was in Bishop California, can't remember the restaurant but it was local caught and it had a margarita sauce with it, boy was it good. Years ago when I fished a lot I used to have a smoker, called a Little Chief and I would smoke trout, that was good too. now I'm hungry for trout too. ha
ReplyDeleteYour platters are looking very nice indeed. Which Mason Stains did you use?
ReplyDeleteSnow is on its way!
Hi Suzi, thanks, we may get a light dusting o snow too but will also have lots of black ice. I used lobster, chartreuse, chestnut, oh and some yellow underglaze and a small amount of black slip. We shall see how these turn out since I overlapped some of the colors.

ReplyDeleteGood looking fish!
ReplyDeleteHi Joanne, thanks, things from the sea are often so much more colorful when viewed on land.
DeleteI love the rainbow trout.
ReplyDeleteHi Lori, thanks, I think that's my favorite one too, I made him last
ReplyDeleteLove the irridescence you have captured. As a child we followed my father along the river banks (with a frypan) in his search for brown and rainbow trout...
ReplyDeleteHi Sue, thanks, oh to see the trout in the stream is a real treat for sure, happy memories
ReplyDeleteVery nice fish platters! Glad you got your clay exchanged.
ReplyDeleteHi Michele, thanks, hope they turn out in the firing., and so glad I got my clay been using it ever since.
