dale,
let me start by apologising to you and others for not being clear.
When i say wheatgerm, I mean a wheat germ pellet that i put in a cup with a quarter inch of water and let it soak up till soft.

Barley I get from the bulk department in my grocery store. I buy pearl barley
but there are other varieties. I put about 6 tables spoons in a small pan and cover with an inch or so of water and sprinkle liberally with garlic salt. i then put a lid on the pan and bring to a slow boil. Once boiling I turn down just under a boil and cook for an hr. about every 15 mins or so i check and add water as it boils down. At the end of the hr I get a spoon out and get a few barley and taste them. if I can easily chew them as they are soft, I rinse in cold water
and drain. if they are a bit chewy i will continue to cook for another 5 mins or so.

how's my favorite blue fish of yours wintering! (lucky!)
