Ezra,
No vamps here. I don't think that the garlic is overly heavy in the fish, but it is pungent in the marinade. I measure very little in the kitchen and cloves of garlic vary so much in size, so I would guess I put 4 nice size cloves in the marinade.
I'm going to try the OJ and brown sugar as well as the southwestern burger. I can 40 to 50 pints of salsa each year, so this sounds like another fine use for it.
Last year on my last couple trips to Wyoming I stopped at Jean Kay's Pasties in Iron Mountain and took a bunch of frozen cooked pasties with me. Before riding, wrap a thawed pastie in parchment paper and drop it in the muff pot. Ride hard all morning, stop for lunch, and you have a nice hot pastie in the backcountry. I shared with some locals while riding and they loved them. Now I won't leave home without them.
