Living in TX now, but vacationed in Ephraim, Door County every summer for years. Honeymooned there. My husband loves fish boil and we decided to surprise him for Father's Day. Spent lots of $ on amazing fish, followed the recipe to a tee, and it called for FAR too much salt. I was panicking and rinsing and soaking, rinsing and soaking the food because it was completely inedible. Thankfully, after multiples soaks it came to a decent place to serve... though the fish was a tiny bit overcooked at that point.  Everyone loved it after all, but the heart attack it almost caused me was not worth it. I'm assuming the restaurant that submitted this recipe attempted to gauge measurements... because they use a ton of salt in their ginormous cauldrons. Somehow, it didn't translate to a home kitchen. Need to rewrite because this isn't EDIBLE!
