One of the few I haven't.

Blue gill, prepared properly, is under appreciated.

Agreed. Some 'gill is good. All I fish for is walleye. Call it white gold. VERY light fish. My wife hates me because she loved flounder until I started making her walleye. Flounder is too strong tasting for her now. Would enjoy snaggin a few and talkin some history with you sometime. If we didn't catch any (very hard to catch) we could still eat. I have about 30 lbs in my freezer. :)

Survival skills!

"Catch and release" to the skillet or freeze.

Can't beat sauger.

Dover Sole ain't at all bad either.

Sauger is very good as well. VERY close kin to the walleye. So close that they can cross breed. Ever eat a saugeye? Good too. Just get more meat off of a walleye because they typically grow bigger. Main difference is coloration as I can see. Saugeyes have copper color with big black splotches but have the white patch on their lower tail fin like a walleye. Copper color isn't as brilliant as a pure bred sauger either.

No offense, but you can keep the sucker and the carp. My granddad used to eat carp and you couldn't go in the house for 3 days due to smell.

I always cut my fillets into chunks (they fry up more evenly), dip them in egg/milk wash, batter them in 2 parts yellow corn meal (with lots of black pepper and some cayenne powder) and 1 part flour, and finally the most important step IMO deep fry in peanut oil.

On second thought, gs, I do have a good recipe for carp. Scale it and gut it. Go to a pasture field, get some moist cow manure and stuff it in the body cavity. Bake on 350 for about 45 minutes. Remove from the oven, remove the manure, throw out the carp and eat the manure....;-)

I first learned about white sucker when visiting a childhood friend of mine, it was getting late and so he invited us to stay for supper.

We had fried sucker patties.

He and his brother-in-law went and gigged suckers when they were running in the spring, then cleaned them and cooked them down in a pressure cooker.

You lay out a square of freezer paper, a piece of wax paper then the pattie, another layer of feezer paper, another pattie, etc.

You wrap it and lable how many patties, 4-6=8 etc.

You take it out of the freezer, take off the freezer paper, tap it on the counterand the fish pattie comes loose from the wax paper and then toss the frozen patties in the hot skillet.

Great stuff. Better than salmon patties by far.

I've never done any walleye fishing, I've wondered if they tasted as good as sauger (best fish I've ever eaten imo, with the possible exception of Dover sole), the problem with sauger is that it has to be freezing cold to catch them, although I've heard you can gig them in summer, don't know if that is legal though.

The main problem with sauger is that you used to catch them in the 5 to 7 pound range, now you're lucky to find 2 to 3 pounders.

Some lady in Arkansas a while back was fishing for crappie and landed a state record 23 lb walleye, I'll bet that bent her pole.

Actually you can clean it and put it in a pressure cooker and come up with some really good patties you can freeze and are actually better than can salmon patties.

Buffalo aren't very different.

I catch sauger in the spring (fly/minnow) jigging. I have also caught them trolling a cats paw spinner (similar to an Erie Dearie) and a nightcrawler in the heat of June- August. The trick is (as with women) gotta troll deep.....;-)

What waters do you fish?

We've got a great fresh fish place here with a flow of delicious salmon year round. There's not much in the way of fishing in my immediate area, except for catfish or blue gill, bass with travel. The Mississippi is dangerous waters to fish if you're worried about mercury levels.

I have to say that my favorite fish are from the ocean. Halibut, flounder, tuna, and others I can't for the life of me remember the names of.
