Grilled Rattlesnake?

[Jim Lampe]

naw, just some fresh farm raised tilapia seasoned up with EVOO & more Cali pepper from Penzey's sorry to disappoint you Bob....
yep, i've been mentioning this pepper blend alot lately cuz i wanna get a taste of it on everything...
and you know what??
It's GOOD! On everything! so pick up some next time you shop on-line or in-store at Penzeys.
OK, commercial over, let's look at pictures now.

on the grill with just a little pecan wood for smoke

the fish was done quickly, 'bout 4 minutes one side & another 3 the other, over a medium to high heat
Romaine was next, again, about 4 minutes total, i just kept turning it (fell asleep for a minute or two)

chopped up the lettuce and serve that with some sweet peppers Liz sautéed on the stovetop...
then drizzled drops of red balsamic over it all...
the flipper was served on some Italian slipper bread (ciabatta rolls) with Real Wisconsin Cheese...

...then sliced to eet!

Sam's Alpine Spring washed it all down very nicely.

That's all i got folks, Thank you once again for visiting!

OhYeah, forgot this LAST photo...
lookin' at the fresh cut red meats yesterday, i came across two packages of the largest chuck eyes i've ever seen...
...so i bought'um!

Geez, how will I cook THESE??!!

[Bob Correll]

Hiss! Boo! Foul ball!

I came to see rattlesnake!
But I'll settle for a plate of your Cali peppered tilapia, if I have to.
All looks tasty Jim!

(how could I have forgotten fish for a possible next cook?)

edit to add:
nice find on the eyes!

Jim the fish looks awesome! We have been using Northwoods Fire on the tilapia and it has worked out well. i'll have to try the Cali. Thanks!

Delicious looking meal Jim...But again those chuck eyes, I want to try them so bad.

OT: I was hoping for rattlesnake - we campfire grilled one ~12+ years ago. My young (then) dog sniffed it out, my friend found a Y shaped stick & trapped it, tried to get me to cut its head off. I wound up holding the stick & he used my pocket knife. Tasted like.....Tilapia! I kept the head - hung it by it's fangs from my whiteboard (in my office) & he made a hat band from its skin on a straw hat.
