Bream And How You Like Em
 
Bream or any variation of. Blue gill, chinqs, etc. On the bone or filleted? I happen to be an on the bone guy. Yeah you can't cook as many at one time but that's ok with me. They just taste better imo when cooked on the bone.

On the bone

Matt G 05-04-2015 09:36 PM

X3 for on the bone. Can't beat some crispy tails!

saute86 05-04-2015 10:23 PM

I filet them. I try not to eat fried fish anymore but I do miss those crispy tails and fins. I grill my fish in a cast iron grill pan and make fish tacos. If you haven't had grilled white perch tacos with mango salsa you don't know what you are missing.

Grew up eating them on the bone, now if I can't filet them they go back in the water.

I'm with this guy.

Fried fish isn't near my top foods

Definitely on the bone...I recently got engaged to a wonderful woman from Baltimore, MD.
She has 3 kids at home, 8,12, and 15...they had never had bream deep fried southern style!!!

I had a blast teaching them how to eat the fins and how to eat around the bones...of course you keep a loaf of bread close...just in case!!

On the bone taste best with the fins and tails. But overall I'd rather eat them filet cuz I can shovel em in faster. Fat kids worry more about quantity.

duckman1911 05-05-2015 06:12 AM

I'm thinking about baking some. On the bone of course. Salt, pepper, garlic and fresh rosemary. Oh and butter. Lots of butter :)

If I want filets, I eat specks or catfish. Bream on the bone!

Something wrong with ^^^^^^^^ guy.lmao
Just messin with ya.

I like them best in the water too. Specially when they just hit my poppin bug hard and the fight is on. Lb for lb they sure are feisty. When I clean them its a compromise. I fellet off one side flip it over and scale and clean the other. The wife wants fish ya can eat like banannas. I much prefer them with skin and bones.

Bone

Dougie 05-05-2015 11:15 PM

Scale em,
then fillet them,
but leave the scaled skin on.

When they are deep fried, the skin contracts and makes them curl up like a dinner roll.

Mmmmmmm, because the skin tastes good too.

biggun 05-06-2015 10:11 AM

When I catch some Sac's.. I'll keep a few smaller ones.. I scale, fry whole.. Ones a little larger, I scale, then fillet..I get the best of both worlds.

Love me some skin, tails, and fins..

On the bone butterflied....Cut a slit on both side the head ...Stick knife point in by top fin and cut to end of fin...Use catfish skinners and pull skin off...Cut about 1/4 in. down on top n bottom fin and pull from tail to head...All fin bones come out...Cut off head n gut...Cut from top to ribs on each side backbone....Do not cut off tail...Fry back side down first....

I once called my grandmaw n grandpaw and asked them if they wanted some fried perch...Well I fillet'ed them and brought them and got my butt chewed wanting to know where the perch was.....According to them it was a waste to fillet a perch or sac a lait....I guess it was better than the butt woop'n I got for other things.....ha ha ha ha ha.....

Them goggle eyes are great fish. There's a small pond just a couple miles from the house that has some good ones in certain spots. Once I find em with crickets I like to start throwing a jig to them. I really want to get a fly rod and catch them on that.

LoL ... Ate my share of bream and goggle eyes as a kid living in Marksville.

Throw in "shoe" pick and gar both fried, on a grill, or in patties ... Goo in white gravy to catfish in red gravy.

The older I get the more I lean on baked fillets of 14" bass or trout only with an occasional flounder.

Mostly a catch and release guy now days though.

But gotta say ... If I had to have bream now ... It better be fried whole so I can pick the bone and eat the crunchy tail and fins ! :D
