I have decided to write about one of my favorite things to prep before a day on the water, barbeque. Being of Asian decent and able to make even the toughest cuts of meat tender and tasty, I have to add this section.

Not many boats out there have a BBQ to cook on. We have had Gas and Charcoal and have settled on Charcoal do to the ease and low maintenance of the entire process. Having your BBQ grill mounted on the side works great and is mighty convenient at times. We just slip the grill into its slide and we are ready.

There are many choices out there to choose from like hotdogs, hamburgers ,chicken or steak. We normally go with Short ribs, my specialty.

A easy recipe is fill a large gallon zip lock bag one quarter of the way with soy sauce then add a half cup of brown sugar and three tablespoons of chopped garlic, chop up 5 green onions and add to bag as well, add a table spoon of sesame oil and a half cup to a whole cup of honey depending on how sweet you want it. Close bag and shake well. Add your short ribs (short ribs or Korean ribs are slice thin about a centimeter or two in thickness.) Hard to find a butcher that will do that for you these days though. Let ribs marinade over night.

After fishing for a while the next day crank up the coals and wait till they are ideal. Then put ribs on the grill, be care not watch them so they do not burn on the grill. They are awesome! We bring corn on the cob as well keep the husks on and soak in water for an hour before you grill them. The corn will take a long time to cook so when you are waiting for the grill to get just right, go ahead and cook them first.

An ice cold beer and some ribs on the Barbie with corn on the cob will make all the other Anglers jealous, because they will be eating their ham sandwiches and watching you eat your Asian barbequed short ribs with corn on the cob.
