Keeping some fish to eat

My neighbor is retired...totally retired . He is also an avid
fisherman! Yesterday I was working in the back yard and he was on his
patio cooking something....deep frying some fresh fish he brought home!
We talked fishing for a few mnutes, then I went back to working. About
15 minutes later his wife brought me over a plate....deep fried fish,
coleslaw, beans, and hot buttered cornbread, I thought I had died and
gone to heaven ! I usually leave the fish I catch at the lake, but
next time out, I think I will bring a few of the critters home with me
grin!

Nothing wrong with that... but was it bass that he caught? I don't really
know of anyone that eats bass and I don't know if it's the best eating.
Perhaps they were crappie that he caught... and now we all know what part of
the country I'm in .

Personally, I just eat sal****er fish. Now that's some good eats.

I agree whole heartedly Mark, just been awhile since I had some fresh
fish . I use to supply the neighborhood with fresh fish when I lived
in Pensacola...went Gulf fishing almost everyday I was off work, Red
fish (channel bass), red snapper, and my all time favorite pompino (sp)
.

Bass filets are excellent - hard to beat as far as I am concerned.

"Hard to beat"? I can name two dozen better fish to eat and about half of them
are freshwater. Crappie, one of my favorite, was already mentioned. How do you
rate walleye, perch, catfish, etc?

I use to believe that until someone convinced me I was cleaning them wrong.
I no longer scale them. I fillet them with an electric knife and cut the
skin off. What a difference! Now if those bass are over 14" and under 4 lbs,
they get et! Don't get me wrong, Crappie are still hard to beat.

I like bass better than crappie or cats - all the walleye I have eaten were
good, but no better than bass. And we don't eat much perch here - they don't
generally get big enough, if you are talking yellow perch.

Perch are fantastic eating in these parts as well as walleye, Erie, PA
area.

Nobody has mentioned carp.....now before everybody goes *yuk*, when I
lived along the Ohio River, it is very common to see people focus on
carp and catfish. I can remember a fish fry once where an old West
Virginia lady was doing the cooking - the carp was superb. Don't know
what she did, but they were some mighty fine eating....

Perch filets are also good. Pickerel is a tasty fish if you have the
patience to debone. But there is absolutely, without question, nothing
better than native brook trout.
