When you scale put the fish in a tub of water while you do, it prevents the scales from going everywhere and makes clean up super easy

Hey, I'm from the South and this is exactly like my uncle used to catch and cook them. So happy I finally found someone who does the same. I used to love watching him cleaning em, guess he wasn't so thrilled, lol. But this is the way to go, so delicious.

Hey, you cooked the bluegills up the same way I do, and most everyone, here in SW Georgia. You sit at my table , you learn to eat around the bones. However, I do have to admit, when my children and grands were small, I spent a lot of time removing bones. I love eating tail. Come to think of it, I’ve never had a bad piece of tail.

It wastes nothing, and the bones come right out. This method looks really cool, too. Thanks! Quick question: Do the scores on each side help to cook evenly or add flavor? Wasn't sure about that. Thanks again.

I always descale my fish in the sink full of water and with a garbage disposal. That way there's little mess and you can grind the scales and innards. However, do not do this with common carp. The scales are so big and thick that they might plug up your pipes. Best to scale carp in a plastic tub filled with water.

Been harvesting BG from my pond because they have been getting overcrowded and hurting my BM Bass population. Usually I just use them for catfish bait but I can't stand catfishing anymore because it's SO BORING. I'd prefer to fish for Bass and Panfish in tournaments. But tbh, I never cooked bluegill in my 30 years of fishing and decided to pull 28 out of my pond. Fillet them whole and put them in the fridge for tomorrow! Appreciate the tutorial because I cannot wait for SOME GOOD EATIN' tomorrow. :D

I've yet to see any non filet fish fried and where some of the batter has not come off. Trying to see if there is a video and tips to keep more of the breader on the fish. I don't think it's a bad thing the way yours looks as long as you get it evenly coated as in your video. I never use a wet batter then dry batter I always just use a wet batter. Last time though I pat the fish dry before dry battering them. Maybe I need to go ahead and leave them a little damp?
