It’s a spring day here at Lake Ketchabigwon. I saw this recipe on line. Who ever heard of FISH piccata? I never did. Chicken piccata, veal piccata. So why not fish piccata? I shopped for all the ingredients. All I need to do collect some fish, and I’d love to have you join me. See the fishing tackle used, the recipes and the music credits.
This recipe was inspired by the recipe I found here: foodnetwork.com/recipes/melissa-darabian/fish-piccata-recipe.print.html?oc=linkback
Ingredients
Enough olive oil to cover bottom of large skillet
1 to 1½ pounds mild white fish fillets
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 cup flour (I used almond flour)
½ cup white wine
2 lemons, juiced (I used 6 TBS)
2 to 3 tablespoons capers
5 tablespoons butter
2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
Directions
Heat the olive oil in a large sauté pan over medium-high heat. While the pan is heating, blot the fish dry with paper towels and season with salt and pepper. Dredge in the flour, shaking off any excess. (I used a plastic bag to apply the flour) Sauté the fish in the oil until just cooked through, about 4 minutes, flipping halfway through. Remove the fish to a platter. Deglaze the pan with the white wine, whisking for about 1 minute. Add the lemon juice and capers and stir. Add the butter and stir or whisk to incorporate to bring the sauce together. Pour onto the fish and garnish with the chopped parsley.
Fishing equipment:
The soft plastic lure is a 2 inch Zman SwimZ in Suicidal Rooster. It is on a 1/16 ounce lead jig head called a Mushroom Head from Gopher Tackle.
The spinning reel is a Pflueger Trion GX-5. This model is no longer made.
The line is SpiderWire, Ultracast, Invisi-Braid in 10 pound test, 2 pound monofilament equivalent.
The spinning rod is a tiny Daiwa SMC401ULFS Spinmatic-C SpinRod (4- Feet, Ultra Light, 1 Piece, 1-4 pound line test recommended). It can be found on Amazon, Fish USA, and other places.
The species of fish in Lake Ketchabigwon are largemouth bass, bluegill, white crappie, black crappie, yellow perch, channel catfish, and grass carp.
The boat is a Bass Hunter I ordered from Bass Pro Shops about 12 years ago. They no longer sell it. Also, this model is no longer available, but newer models like it are still sold.

The background music is “Lemonade Summer” purchased from audioblock.com.
