At the Big River Forge and Ironworks in Lansing, IA, they cut fish from steel plate and use them to make things like this:
When I saw those fish I thought of a different recipe.
Put a steel fish on a cast iron grill and cover it with a piece of cotton cloth.
Sprinkle some salt on it, spray on some water and let the whole thing sit on the picnic table for a few hours on a hot day .
When it is a nice golden color around the edges rinse off the salt and water. Then iron it until it is flat and smooth.
I think it looks yummy, (but then I have strong cravings for fiber.)

Wow that is cool! When someone posted your new url to the group, I was wondering why rust dying is, and if this is a good example, it's great stuff! Do you have to treat it in any way to make it permanent, or does the salt + pressing do that?
You really have to wash the salt out with a little synathropl. See Rust-tex.com for more details.
