Various Culinary Delights And Recipes
Let's start off with some simple recipes first.
This first one is one of my wife's favorites, and she does an excellent job of preparing it.


"Mrs.BigZeeBros Vienna Sausage and Crackers"

First, have your wife rummage around in the bottom of her oversized purse for some half-crushed Saltine crackers. While she's doing that, dig in the bottom of your over-stuffed, unorganized tackle box for a rusting can of Vienna sausage (called "vy-eenies" here in the South). Note that the label from the can has become permanently adhered to an interior wall of your tackle box. Carefully pull back on the ring on top of the can of vy-eennies, making sure you don't fully remove the lid. Now, carefully hang the can overboard and drain the excess liquid.
When all the liquid has been drained, fully remove the lid, being careful not to cut yourself on the sharp edges. As most of you know, blood usually draws sharks. Shake the can vigorously, making sure that you are cupping the open end with your free hand, to dislodge the succulent morsels contained within. Open the package of crackers, making sure it "explodes" as you do so, so that you can scatter as many crumbs as possible on the deck. Here's the best part: you can choose between eating a vy-eenie with a cracker, or you can alternate between eating the two. Also, you can substitute LittleZeeBros favorite, Potted Possum, for the vy-eenies. For a real treat, replace the vy-eenies with Beenie-Weenies, but skip the part about dislodging the succulent morsels, unless you're strange and like to feel beans and tomato sauce squishing between you fingers.
This culinary delight is best served with a cheap, luke-warm beer.
Bon appetit!

"Roast Beef Gulf Au Jus Sandwich"
This recipe, which was perfected by LittleZeeBro and Capt. Ballard,is a little more involved than the previous recipe. With this one, you not only need the necessary groceries, but also a 26' Glacier Bay catamaran.
While the captain is busy working on something, extract your cooler from it's hiding place below deck. Make absolutely sure that you are on the bow casting platform while constructing this meal. Remove the bread, roast beef, cheese, lettuce, tomatoes, mayonnaise, and pepper. DO NOT ADD SALT! Carefully layer the ingredients onto the bread, being sure to spread the mayonnaise thoroughly. Lay the sandwich down so that you can return the cooler to it's proper storage place. Now, pick up the sandwich, face forward, and at the appropriate moment, have the captain "gun" the boat squarely into a breaking 6' wave. The squared off bow of the catamaran is the secret ingredient here, as most of that breaking 6 footer will now thoroughly drench you and your sandwich. This is why it is so important not to add salt when building this delicacy. Carefully hang over the side and wring the excess water from your now soggy repast. Take one bite, mutter "shit!" and write it off as chum.
Best served with fish scale encrusted hands.


  West Tennessee Mosquito ( skeeter ) Soup
1/2 lb fresh skeeters ( must be fresh, caught live, not swatted )
3 qts minnow bucket water
2 med ice cubes
1/4 cup shortening
2 whole peppers
12 pack beer
2 small leeks ( not leeches-they leave sucker tracks on the pot )

Remove skeeter stingers; they don't cook well and may lodge in the teeth. Brown skeeters in butter. put on ice to chill and drink 4 cans of beer. Mix in bbq sauce and allow to marinate whilst you drink the next four cans of beer. Strain off the sauce and drink it. Combine the rest of the ingredients and two cans of beer before simmering over a charcoal fire. Drink the last two cans of beer. Soup is ready to eat when skeeter legs are tender and chewy.

The Official Favorite Grilling Sauce of The ZeeBros
John Boy and Billy's from, the Nationally Syndicated radio show, of course. We use this stuff on grilled fish and shrimp, manicotti, on pizza, sandwiches ( it's almost as good as our own Gulf AuJus ), just about everything but Cheerios. If you want the best, check it out here.

ZeeBros Squid Jerky
A sure fire treat on over night trips.
1) Lb stripped squid
Name brand worstershiresheer sauce
Minced garlic
1/2 oz Fumunda cheese
1)Bottle garlic powder
1) Smatta, finely chopped
Dried garlic
1 Tbs Tabasco
13 cloves garlic
Blend dry ingredients and add liquids to a large Ziplock bag, allow to blend. Add squid, stripped 1/2 inch wide, and allow to marinate 3 days in Kelvinator. Make up excuses when your betrothed inquires about the contents of the bag. At the end of three days, build a smokey fire with cedar containing alot of sap. Remember you want a low heat ( 160 degrees ) high smoke fire because all you want to do is dry the squid and add natural smoke flavoring. Drain squid from marinade mixture and arrange on grill. Place grill on highest rack in smoker and leave undisturbed for a minimum of 4 hours, allowing cedar smoke to permeate the squid. When squid has the correct texture ( sorry, this takes experience ), remove and let rest over night. Your squid jerky is now ready to enjoy ! May be stored in freezer up to 6 months.
Squid jerky may be enjoyed by itself, served as a side to squid tartar and used to garnish cocktails like ZeeBros favorite, Oyster Liqueur with a splash of menhaden oil. Any way you serve it, squid jerky is sure to be a crowd pleaser.
SQUID : It's not just for breakfast anymore !

This is a good reason why he's called "BigZeeBro"!


A Typical LittleZeeBro Breakfast
This is probably why he's called LittleZeeBro: he's lean and mean, and will eat anything that doesn't move too fast!
