WAGYU Beef
Delicious and Healthy WAGYU BEEF / ELK EXOTIC MEAT / BISON OSTRICH / BILL-E’S BACON C.A.B. / LAMB CHEESE CURDS / CHEESE BRATS / FIRE DISC GRILLS
Experience The unique taste and tenderness of highly marbled Wagyu beef makes for an unrivalled eating experience. That is why Wagyu beef is finding its way into the repertoires of Gourmet cooks and fine restaurants across the US. Not only is it a gastronomic delight, but it’s healthy for you too. Health experts have discovered the mono-unsaturated to saturated fat ratio is higher in Wagyu than in other beef and, the saturated fat contained in Wagyu is different. Forty percent is in a version called stearic acid, which is regarded as having a minimal impact in raising cholesterol levels. The profile of marbled Wagyu beef is more beneficial and healthier to human health. Wagyu is also higher in a type of fatty acid called conjugated linoleic acid {CLA). Wagyu beef contain the highest amount of CLA per gram of any foodstuff - about thirty percent more than other beef breeds - due to higher linoleic acid levels. Foods that are naturally high in CLA have fewer negative health effects.

Passenger Trip Suggestions and Etiquette
1. Dress for comfort. Bring sunscreen, a camera, sunglasses and wear soft, light-colored sole shoes. A SS N 2. Avoid rich food and excessive alcohol the night O C I AT I O before. Eat a light breakfast and if taking motion sickness medication please follow directions. 3. Bring an ample supply of eats and drinks. It is customary to bring eats and drinks for your captain and crew. 4. Please respect the boat and equipment. Your captain and crew have a lot of pride in their vessels and equipment can be costly to you if damaged or lost overboard. 5. Deckhands work hard for you and have pride in your catch. Their day starts several hours before your trip and extends hours after you are gone. We recommend a 15 percent to 20 percent tip over and above a fish cleaning fee. 6. Make sure you choose a trip that suits you. Our fleet offers 4 hour trips all the way up to 3 day trips. Your Captain can assist you in choosing the appropriate trip to meet your needs. 7. Always inquire about payment method, cancellation and bad weather policies.
