I say crop-ee, you say crap-ee, let's call the whole thing sac-au-lait
I have heard Walleye are good, but I associate them with similar toothy
fish that we have like the gar and grinnel, both have too many small
bones in them to even think about finding out how they taste.
Do Walleye have lots of bones? What is the limit per day? I think my
friend that just went to Minnesota said it was 3, but you could only
have maybe 6 in your possession. So he spent a week fishing and could
only keep 6 fish for his trip back to Mississippi when locals could put
42 in the freezer for the same length of time fishing. I guess that is
why they don't call Minnesota the 'Hospitality State.' lol
Flathead catfish are probably the best fish eating opportunity around
here. You can clean one fish and feed many people. Unlike their
cousins blue and channel, they don't get too big to eat, 40 to 60 #'s
is not uncommon, and they feed on live stuff and have meat that is as
white as a chicken breast.
I like Crappie because they are easy to clean and cook, but they really
don't have a whole lot of flavor like a bream does. I really would
rather eat bream any day, but they are just not as easy to clean and
cook.
I will have to find a Walleye source and give it a try. I would ask my
neighbor for a sample, but he has about $100 an ounce invested in his.

CROP-pee..CRAP-pee, white, black, whatever color they happen to be, its the

Crappie and bluegill (bream to you), are both good but the
best tasting freshwater fish to me is the walleye.
