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 !

Goggle eye are fun to catch too

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

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.

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....
