What do you get when you mix a culinary pioneer, photographer, fisherman, and nestle him right in the middle of the Chesapeake Bay? You get Kirk Marks, the star of this week’s episode. Kirk has spent his whole life on Kent Island, Maryland, learning the waters around him. He shares secrets of how to catch the plethora of fish found in the Chesapeake watershed: Redfish, Stripers (or “Rockfish” as those Marylanders call them), and let’s not forget those beloved invasives, Northern Snakeheads and Blue Catfish!

Besides fishing, Kirk is one hell of a homegrown chef. He grew up eating everything from the Chesapeake with a sweet-spot for eating Redfish collars and Snakeheads. As author of Flavor on the Fly from Flylords, Kirk highlights some of his recent creations and recipes. Listen to hear all the details!
