Appetizer, Serves 4-6


INGREDIENTS

2 Cups Sushi Rice 

1 Splash of Rice Vinegar

10 Firm Fish (any you like)

1 Red Onion, thinly sliced*

1 Cucumber, thinly sliced*

1 Tablespoon of Sesame Seeds

1 Zest of an Orange

3 Tablespoons Soy Sauce

3 Tablespoons of Yuzu**

– Cilantro

– Paprika 

– Garlic Salt

– Nori (Seaweed) Sheets for Serving

*Fun alternate ingredients: pineapple or mango, diced bell peppers, green onions, pomegranate seeds, jalapeños.

**Substitute: Fresh Lime Juice. You can find yuzu in sushi shops or Japanese grocery stores.


THE SAUCE

1. In a small bowl, add 3 tablespoons of yuzu (if you couldn’t find it, use the same amount of lime juice), 3 tablespoons of soy sauce, and the juice of half a lime.


THE BOARD

1. Cook the sushi rice as per the instructions on the package (or with a rice cooker).

2. When the rice is cooked, add a splash of rice vinegar to it and stir.

3. Spread the rice on a board (I like to use a wooden chopping board for presentation). 

4. While the rice is cooling on the board, thinly slice the fish in pieces about ¼ cm in width.

5. Place the fish on the rice when it has cooled down, and spread all ofthe other ingredients on top.

6. Top off with the sesame seeds, orange zest, paprika and garlic salt. 

7. Either pour the sauce directly over the board, or use it as a dipping sauce.

8. Serve with the Nori sheets on the side.

El Capitan

Part four of the Modern Huntsman x Lone Star Outdoor Film series. Waterfowl hunting creates a bond among friends that’s difficult to replicate. You could say the same about being a ship captain. This film is about both and follows our old friend John Dunaway as he shares his love for waterfowl, conservation, and hunting community on the Texas coast. We’re excited to tell more stories about those who care so deeply about wildlife and wild places in the Lone Star State, and hopefully, you find some inspiration within the adventure.
The Deer that Bind Us

The Deer that Bind Us

Part three of the Modern Huntsman x Lone Star Outdoor Film series. Sometimes, choosing not to pull the trigger in the field says more about you as a hunter than when you do. For seventh-generation Texan Anna Avery, taking a deer is a powerful, personal decision she does not take lightly. This short film dives into her perspective on making the right choice, how her journey as a hunter has shaped who she is and how it has brought her closer to her family and the land of their historic family ranch in South Texas.
