Coleslaw & Hushpuppies

This post is more than just a delicious recipe to share, it is also a little life lesson, one I’ve learned as I have watched my husband over the past 30 years continue and cultivate his passion for fishing. Creating memories and teaching so much to our kids about life, while enjoying himself, and staying connected to nature and his past. I now understand why he loves it so much, it’s not just for the fish fry at the end; although that is always a great bonus!

If you’re gonna have a fish fry, then you gotta have sides, and two of my favorites are Coleslaw and Hushpuppies. Here are my recipes, hope you enjoy! and hope you catch a big one!

Take 'em fishing

Give a man a fish…..blah, blah, blah… You know you’ve heard it, but have you every really thought about it? When someone takes the time to share the art of fishing with you, they are teaching you lessons that truly will stay with you a lifetime, the lessons of patience, self-sufficiency, tradition, camaraderie, hope, love & more, that really do make an impact for life. This is why it was important for my husband to share his love & talent of fishing with our children. It is what he holds most dear from the teachings of his Grandfather (Silas) and his Father. It’s much more than just feeding yourself fish, it is a gift, past down from generation to generation. My husband and his brother still love to get together and go fishing whenever they can, it is a wonderful time to remember the love they were shown as children, and the passion it has created for them. Also to reminisce on the fishing trips with their kids, their parents, grandparents & friends. So if you get the chance; Take ‘Em Fishing!
