Video: Sky Full of Bacon Explores the Midwestern Land of Whitefish
We are big fans of Michael Gebert's Sky Full of Bacon video podcast series, even when they don't involve bacon. In this one, he investigates whitefish—what's usually deep-fried for fish and chips or smoked for deli bagel sandwiches. Gebert chats with 92-year-old Robert Schuffler of Robert's Fish Market in Chicago, a man who's digested his fair share of whitefish (even for breakfast) and is still going strong. Gebert then adventures out to the Lake Michigan waters with a family behind a fifth-generation Wisconsin fishery. When it's fresh, whitefish should smell like cucumber. The video, after the jump.

I've posted this recipe before, but any white fish fillet, seasoned with lemon, salt and pepper, maybe a garlic rub, wrapped in bacon or Parma ham, and tossed on a medium grill until the bacon is done. If you camp, you can achieve the same effect by tightly wrapping the whole thing up in foil and chucking it right onto the fire for about five minutes.
