I don't know what's worse: people who legitimately don't give a shit, or people who just shut that part of their brain off. I'm in the latter category also.

Yeah, see, it's not really that with me. I know where it comes from. I've killed and gutted/butchered deer and rabbit before, then eaten them. I just don't want it to look like an animal by the time it's on my plate.

^^^I saw a chick suck the eyeballs out of a just-killed rabbit in SERE school. I mean, it was probably still warm.

That sounds like something a serial killer would do

Apparently they're good for you, in a survival situation.

3/25/2011 6:28:33 PM

OK, TWW ... new problem ... uses for fish stock?? it's almost too hot outside to make soup so I need help!!

3/26/2011 4:46:19 PM

Personally I would freeze it until you have use for it.although today is perfect soup weather

I'm making cod tonight. Was thinking just cooking with lemon and dill unless someone has a better idea.

i like fish eyeballs... they are pretty cool as teaching aids. you have the jelly like outer ball, and the harder lens in the middle, and the black pigment inside that you can discover by crushing the eyeball between your fingers. it comes out as a thick black semi-solid.

[Edited on March 28, 2011 at 9:54 AM. Reason : have eaten many fish eyeballs as a child... haven't had one for probably more than a decade]

nerdchick, if you fillet one side off and leave the backbone on the other side, the inside will be done at the same time the outside gets brown. just put some vegetable/canola/peanut oil in a cast iron frying pan a little over half the thickness of the fillets. brown one side then brown the other. looks like your grease may have been too hot with the side getting black like that.

[Edited on March 28, 2011 at 10:21 AM. Reason : and drain it on paper towels and it won't be so greasy]

Fried up some crappie tonight. My buddy had a good day fishing Reedy Creek and shared the bounty. About to poach up the egg sacks. YUM

the roe wasn't too bad. bit more fishy than the flesh but good with salt and pepper. girlfriend said it reminded her of grits

4/6/2011 11:14:49 PM

4/6/2011 11:16:35 PM

damn, you could eat steaks for months off those

OK so today I got Perch ... advice on that fish??

4/21/2011 4:29:12 PM

1) apply heat
2) eat

I'm AstralAdvent and I approved this message.

4/21/2011 4:29:39 PM

Pretty much any recipe calling for trout would also be good with perch.

4/21/2011 4:34:44 PM

uh oh, I just googled "perch" and I think that might not be what I got

pics coming!!

4/21/2011 4:39:04 PM

OK here it is!!! The top one was REALLY fat. I just cleaned them and the mushy yellow part of its guts was HUGE! it was pretty gross actually, these are much bigger than the tidy little spot I've been eating

4/21/2011 5:22:55 PM

OK TWW, I'm hungry and I want to eat this fish. HELLLLP ME!! what should I do?

4/21/2011 5:44:30 PM

yup thats a fish alright

Eat it caveman style...just bite it

4/21/2011 6:15:11 PM

Earp's lost thier power and roof with the tornados. I know that they were selling the seafood at super cheap prices - b/c the freezers were down.


I love Earps. Also they have a resturant on Capital blvd.

4/21/2011 6:21:40 PM

nerdchick, that "mushy yellow part" of the guts is the roe and it's tasty

4/21/2011 8:03:58 PM

Those are white perch and they are damn good. We would just scale them, gut them, cut the head off then cover them in some melted butter and then roll them in breadcrumbs and parm cheese. Bake at a high temperature(400-450) until golden.

4/27/2011 2:35:39 PM

lol so I decided to steam the snapper I have tonight in my bamboo steamer. But forgot I don't have a steaming rack for my pot. So I ghetto rigged the steamer and now there's sauce dripping all over my stove. This better be good for the amount of mess I'm making

6/23/2011 6:38:16 PM

Those are white perch. Gut em, cut out the gills and scale them. Then roll them in mustard, bread and fry. I love rolling fish in mustard before I bread and fry them!

6/23/2011 6:48:29 PM

A++ would eat again. Would probably use a bit more garlic next time and throw in some bamboo with everything else.
