Fishing for Stripers off Long Island, with Sam Sifton
Description: This week I interview Sam Sifton, former Cooking Editor, now Assistant Managing Editor of the New York Times and an avid fly-rod striped bass angler. It's quite a rambling discussion, from striper fishing on Long Island to the current state of striper populations to the writing of Peter Matthiessen. Along the way, of course we get some fish cooking advice but only for bluefish. Learn why Sam and I don't eat striped bass (and it's more than just about catch-and-release for the sake of the population).
