DNR casts around for favorite fish recipes

The Minnesota Department of Natural Resources is inviting anglers to share their favorite Minnesota fish recipes through the Wild Minnesota Recipe Exchange at www.dnr.state.mn.us/fishwildlife/wild-minnesota.html.

People can submit recipes through June 30 for the chance to be featured on the DNR website and social media platforms.

“The recipe exchange is a fun way to inspire and be inspired when it comes to delicious recipes for fish caught in Minnesota,” said Cara Hanson of the DNR. “It’s easy to share recipes online, and we’ll be posting some of these for everyone to see later this summer.”

Recipes carry special meaning. Whether passed down generations, emblematic of culture or newly created, wild game recipes give anglers a chance to fully appreciate their harvest, share with friends and family and connect with the outdoors on a deeper level.

The recipe exchanges allow for sharing the recipe in an online form where people can submit the recipe, a photo of the meal and even a background story.

The DNR also reminds anglers that they can find fish consumption guidance on the Minnesota Department of Health website at www.health.state.mn.us/communities/environment/fish/index.html.

Anglers should check for site-specific consumption guidance that pertains to the water they’re fishing, when that is available. If it is not, anglers should follow the statewide guidelines.
