Two Russian brothers live in the USA, travel a lot. This video shows the city of Boston. At 11.14 minutes, an American fisherman in the river caught a rather large and beautiful fish, apparently for his dinner. The water is very dirty with garbage and oil products on the surface. There is a sign on the fence not to catch fish. What kind of fish? YouTube
I am also a fisherman. No, this is definitely not a carp. It is like a fish that came into the river from the sea.

We in the Volga have bream, pike, pike perch, perch and almost all other river fish, such as sabrefish https://pavlovhotel.ru/wp-content/uploads/2018/07/CHehon-e1533021402227.jpg and asp https://www.s-ptitsa.ru/news/big/new26may01.jpg. No, of course, this is not a bream in the video . This is a sea fish for sure. It looks like it's predatory.

It’s a striped bass or ‘striper’

Right, that was the Charles River park near the Science Museum but I would not eat fish from the Charles River. Striper from the right season is one of the best no question. The ocean is very close here and this fish is probably OK.

Scott, you live nearby. Why do your environmental services and prosecutors not control the cleanliness of the river? Signs prohibiting fishing, of course, are easier to hang than to solve the problem. I think that a couple of very large fines or the closure of an enterprise that is guilty will forever close this problem with oil products in the river. A letter to the prosecutor's office obliges them to give an official response or to institute criminal proceedings.
Great sea fish, I think dude had a good dinner.

I’m with you on that Scott...I worked on storrow dr. back in my younger days shoring up the underpinning on the brownstones that were sinking into the garbage dump they were built on in the late 1800’s
The Charles had a rather unedible smell about it! Our next job was on the vineyard, a old hotel in oak bluff, did some serious striper and blue fishing there.
Cool thing about working the storrow drive job was the digging crews would bring up tons of old bottles and I made an agreement of $4 apiece (the price of a 6-pack) for intact ones and on Saturday I trucked as many I could carry on the train to downtown antique shops.....they ate it up! Made as much or more on salvaged glass as I did for working. Best one was $300 some kind of rare bitters bottle.

Okay, back to food if it's okay with you guys.
Problem. I want to slice the bacon nicely but the 12" slab won't fit into the 6" slicer. Do I try and do a full slice with a 12" knife or just cut it in half and use the slicer?
Inquiring minds want to know what you would do.

Ya, silly me. Thanks Bill.
Oh BTW, I'm setting up a go fund me for what you suggest. Can you let me know when to expect your payment? I think we need about $Gazillion for this. Can you talk with your friends, neighbours and relatives please?
TIA. I know I can count on you. 🙂

I tend to use bacon in shorter strips or chunks anyhow, so my instinct is towards cutting them down to 6".

Cal,
Not sure how your slicer works. Mine can be fudged to slice bits longer than the tray. But my experience is cooking time is strongly influenced by thickness. So unless you can slice by knife perfectly, shorter bacon is probably a better approach.

Pretty tough hanging on to that #1 spot with just a six inch.....slicer that is! 😀
My vote is for a bigger slicer.....I’m good for a dollar, only 378.99 to go!

Slicers are measured by the blade diameter. I have an 8" slicer but the feeder carriage is 6".
Ed, my carriage has a stopper and is fixed to the rails.
I am about to go cut it in half.
