Fish Roasting at the Fire

The fish (see Fish on a Stick blog for stick placement) is now shown roasting at the fire.  I chose to demonstrate this technique with a small fish even though it was typically used with much larger ones.  I try to show as many processes as possible and the main fire is busy as the picture shows.  In the smaller trade kettle is hominy corn, beans, dried squash and dried venison ready to eat.  Green corn ears with silks harvested in the larger kettle.  A venison roast is on the horizontal roasting stick.  There is a lower stick to the right of the venison with an ear of green corn roasting.  My drying rack is full as well with Kahahpon, Tasemenana, and corn silks drying.  Another post will explain those processes.
