Burgers, striploins, kebabs and fire roasted peppers, with the exception of Friday the weather forecast is looking good to fire up the ol’ barby. At Foragers we are continually considering what we stock in the cold cases. This spring you can expect interesting combinations of chicken, sausage, game and marinades all designed for a great experience with friends and family.
Lake Huron Fish Report
Our fish supplier Scott from Bayfield Fish & Seafood has reopened after being temporarily closed due to the Bayfield River flood. Scott says that late winter and early spring are the best seasons for whitefish and lake trout.
In about a month or so we will start seeing a little perch and pickerel. That being said, sometimes the fishing tugs do cast nets at this time of year for perch and pickerel but it is still a little out season.
At Foragers you will soon be seeing some changes in the fish counter. Our Forager Chef is currently testing some semi-prepared LakeFish entrée recipes that will be uncooked and ready for the grill, pan or oven. Also because of some good feedback from customers, we will no longer be vac-packing the fresh lake fish.
Sausage of The Week
This week our sausage making team will be stuffing a French Country Sausage. The sausages are perfect for the grill and will be delicately seasoned with fresh Herbes de Provence and local garlic from Gadshill.
Thunder Oak Gouda
Last Autumn we were hesitant about buying more Thunder Oak Gouda due to positive reviews in the Globe and Mail and some trade publications.
Simply put, the skyrocketing popularity was hindering supply. As a consequence the Thunder Bay based fromagerie increased production but they were mostly selling 3 month (mild) gouda and not the aged product, which we previously enjoyed.
The dust has now settled and Foragers is stocking the medium aged (6 mos) gouda again. In addition to the medium aged gouda we have the Smoked Thunder Oak gouda that has a mellow, soft, smokey taste and is perfectly suited for a local Bison burger, available at Foragers of course!
Butterflied Lemon Pepper Chickens
We love to test recipes and think a winner has been found! Be sure to stop in this weekend for a marinated Lemon Pepper Whole Chicken. We have butterflied the chicken for you, so cooking on the grill is just as easy as a steak. Remember, at Foragers all of our chickens are drug, hormone and steroid free but most importantly, they taste great.
Keep Foraging,
Sam, Sara, Bill & Jeremy
