Art's Trout Royale

People question my fashion sense. I'm not sure why. They say the true chefs don an apron, toque and uniform. Me? I don't. For one to have free reign in the kitchen, one’s body must not be restricted by unnecessary garments. One cannot afford to falter over a snagged ribbon, lest the meal go up in flames.

This is also because I am not a chef, but a fisherman at heart.

In my journey to become an accomplished fisherman, I encountered many people. The casual fisher, the talkative fisher, the bot fisher botanist/fisher. From none did I learn as much as I did from the Fisherman's Bottom's Guildmaster, Wawalago. He showed me, in his roundabout way, the beauty and freedom found in expressing ones self in minimal clothing. Having no limitations to your movement gives you the unrestricted ability to express yourself solely though one’s own body, and nothing else.

Harnessing this new knowledge, I picked up my reel and began fishing. The difference in my catch rate was unbelievable. I could move my rod more freely. I could feel the slightest movement down my entire arm. I could tell what fish was hooked just by the amount of fight it was giving me. This knowledge was godly, and I was determined to explore the possibilities.

But where? With my inventory laden with fish, I did what anyone would do - I cooked it. Pan and knife at the ready, I decided to use my new lifestyle to not just cook any meal. No. I was going to cook something that only a real fisherman would appreciate and enjoy; something that had never been created before. And so, I present to you - Art's Trout Royale.
