Pickerel In Brown Butter Sauce Food
THE PANFRIED PICKEREL THAT'S SO CANADIAN
By Patrick Hearn, as told to Devon ScoblePatrick Hearn and Kent Rumpel live in Saskatoon's Riversdale neighbourhood and co-own the Park Cafe and Diner, which has been credited with revitalizing the once-rundown area. One of their most popular weekend dishes is panfried pickerel, something Patrick remembers eating on fishing trips with his dad in northwestern Ontario. While it was Kent who tweaked and perfected the recipe for the diner's customers, the dish is still made in Patrick's grandmother's cast-iron pan.Between the ages of seven and 17, I lived in a small mining town in northwestern Ontario. My mum had taken a millwright maintenance course for mechanical at the mine; she was one of the first women in Canada to be a millwright maintenance mechanic - all while raising seven children! So my dad did all the cooking throughout the week, then on weekends, my mum would do all the baking and all the stuff for our lunches.My mum was pretty creative as a cook, often using cheaper cuts of meat to make stuff go farther. She has an English background, so we'd have pigs in a blanket, Swiss steak and steak-and-kidney pies. My dad was a pretty good cook, too, but he was more of a meatloaf and mushroom gravy or spaghetti and sauce kind of guy. He learned what he knew from his mother, my Grandma Hearn, who was also an excellent cook.My dad made panfried pickerel for us kids as a shore lunch when we were fishing. He'd heat up potatoes left over from last night's dinner and fry up a few eggs. He'd catch fresh pickerel from the lake, clean it lakeside, then panfry it with the eggs and potatoes for a delicious lunch.The fried pickerel recipe we use at the Park Cafe is actually Kent's. It's something we'd done one weekend that people really enjoyed. The fish is seasoned and floured on both sides, then panfried in my Grandma Hearn's cast-iron pan and served with eggs, hash browns and toast. This cast-iron frying pan is something we've used in countless ways my whole life. I've even turned it into a running joke over the years: "101 uses for Grandma's frying pan!" Through the week, the panfried pickerel isn't a big seller, but on Sundays, it just goes.Growing up, we ate meals accompanied by lots of gravies and sauces and pastas - comfort food, I would call it. And home-cooked comfort food is what the Park Cafe is about. It kept Grandma Hearn alive until 92, so hopefully by eating the way she did, I'm going to be around for a long time!Photo courtesy of Getty Images.
