Great Game, Fish, and Other Recipes

I recently found this delightful book in a used book store. The author is a retired Alaska State Trooper, and a lifelong fisherman, hunter, and cook. This cookcook contains many wonderful recipes including Nelson Clam Chowder, Deep-Fried King Crab Legs, Grouse and Noodles, Moose Sauerbraten, Corned Bear, Fancy Pickled Eggs (made with beets), Charlie's Apple Pie, and the Alaska State Fair award-winning Mug-Up Cake. Most of the game recipes can be made with beef or other more common meats instead. I can't wait to try these, although I must admit bear is unlikely to turn up on my menu soon. In addition his many mouth-watering recipes, Mr. Nelson shares wonderful stories about growing up in Alaska and later working as a state trooper. And in case you're wondering, a "low bush moose" is an artic hare, in contrast to a "high bush moose", which is the big brown deer with the scoop-shaped horns :-)

Lowbush Moose is a Great read, with Good recipes; lotta fun!
