Cave Men Ate Fish

In fact, it was easier for the Cave Dude to catch a fish than it was to trap a baby Bronto. Brontos were a lot smarter than anyone thought they were, and Cave Men found that out early when they tried to corral a couple of them in an attempt to have a steady supply of meat. But the Brontos kept breaking down the fences (they had fences then, Cave Babes made their Cave Dudes put them up to keep the animals away from the caves), and it took a long time to chase them down (no GPS back then), so they had to look elsewhere for their dinner.

They Knew Where The Fish Were

In the water, of course. And they could see the big Salmon breezing by all day long, so they just stood out in the river and started swinging their clubs. The batting average wasn’t high (no steroids yet), but they always managed to hit one or two and grab them before they could float away. Of course, the Cave Dudes told their Babes that it took a little more skill than that, and the Cave Babes didn’t believe them, but they didn’t really care, because the Cave Dudes were always clean when they came back with the fish (this was way before washing machines, so Cave Babes started asking for fish whenever they wanted to avoid doing laundry).

Omega 3 Fats

Cave Men knew nothing about nutrition, they had other things to worry about, like a nasty T-Rex sniffing around, or wondering how they would start their next fire (matches hadn’t been invented yet, and flint was in pretty short supply then, too), so just staying alive took precedence over their food being good for them. But we know about nutrition now, and we have advertising, so it’s kind of hard to ignore.

It Tastes So Good

That we don’t care if it’s good for us or not. And we don’t have to stand in a river with a club to get it, either (unless we want to). Just go down to your local market, or your local fish store, and pick out a couple salmon filets or steaks.

Roscoe’s Trinity

Rub your salmon with olive oil, Worcestershire and Cholula, maybe a little salt and pepper and some smoked paprika or Old Bay, and slap it on the grill.

It Doesn’t Take Long

About four minutes a side, for a one inch thick piece of fish. Get some good grill marks and don’t be afraid to pull it off, you don’t want to overcook it and lose some of that great flavor.

It Goes With Anything

Serve your Salmon with slaw or other grilled veggies (pineapple, red peppers), or some sweet potato wedges that you can do on the grill, too.

Plain Or With A Glaze

Salmon tastes great naked, but if you want to put a glaze on it, go ahead. Mix up some apricot preserves and some bourbon, maybe a little brown sugar, some honey mustard. Slather it on right before it’s done and you’ve got something delicious. And you’re doing better than the Cave Dudes, because they didn’t have any Cholula or Worcestershire.
