Even though I feel there was a lot of unnecessary steps here, I do admire & appreciate all the care and time you put into saving as much meat as possible. Thanx for Sharing :)
I LOVE buffalo!
My favorite freshwater fish, next to grass carp!
Lol I've seen easier ways to process a buffalo but I still learned something from your video.
It was my first attempt at cleaning one, but, by all means, please feel free to upstage me in a better way. Why don't you show us the better way?
In and believe you made this video and mentioned “buffalo bellies”. I’m trying to find this fish for that special cut of it...the ribs / buffalo bellie that does. I used to find it easily from a fisherman in southern Illinois close to Missouri /Kentucky lines, but only thing I’ve seen in Georgia is “buffalo carp”. I’m hoping this fish is Available down here in the south. When we visit home, , we’ll take ice chests and fill them up with fish so we’ll have some for a while.
Yes thank you now i know how to clean my buffalo fish Yea 😍😍😳😳
Ok, will do!
Nice buffalo, i got a vid of a 32 lber on my channel
That is a big buffalo fish. If you visit my website posted below this video you will see where a teenager caught a 35 lb. buffalo on my Catfish Dough Bait the other day. He was one proud youngster. Thanks for your comment.

buffalo fish are good eating my dad used to but them, the big ones have a lot of fat in them you will actually make oil while you are frying the big ones. That one you have there is just the right size.
the ribs are very good.. my uncle makes thousands selling them in his resturant.. i cut all the fish for his resturant.. sometimes 2000 lbs a day.. if u,dont believe me come to illinois and take a seat
Jim Beasley a good buddy of mines, not to mention he would have cleaned 3 fish to this one in the time spent!
Great video! Some people won't even eat carp, but I say they are good eating. I just put up a video of me smoking some buffalo carp fillets. Check it out on my channel! The only problem I had was my family ate the whole smoker full! Yes, you have to watch for some of those y-bones, but they are easy to see and pick out. Thanks for the great video!
Is a buffalo fish the same as the Bugle mouth bass?
+jedediahbc A bugle mouth bass is just another name for the common carp which grows around the world. A buffalo fish is indigenous to North America and they are two different species... although they look similar. Carp has barbels and buffalo don't. Buffalo is also called a sucker fish.
Thanks for information!
Your skinners can do away with the spoon, now cutting the Finns was ideal
Meat delicate
Jerk Blackend buffalo is the best
to much work,scaling it is ok but why waste all that time and effort? just open the belly and ge the guts out,then use the knife aling the back bone and filet it,use the rest in fish soup! :-)
This os a video to show people exactly not what to do when cleaning a buffalo fish. Geez! This was a cluster fuck.
I don't know for sure. But from all the blood I saw coming out of that buffalo while you were cleaning it makes me wonder if you knew to bleed it directly after killing it. Or you can bleed them to kill them. They just bleed out and kinda goto sleep. Either cut their gills on both sides to bleed them or cut that section just underneath the mouth that seperates the gills from each other. Apparently a large artery runs through it and they bleed out quickly. Keep them in the water while they bleed to stop the blood from clotting for around ten minutes. The blood is why most people who don't know better before cleaning a carp and frying it up. That most people don't think they are good to eat. Remove all the blood and fat and your buffalo and carp will taste better than crappie catfish or any bass.
Thanks for the advice. Technically, buffalo is not a carp but an indigenous species to N. America and a few places south of the border. What you said makes sense, however, and I will try it next time. BTW, it turned out wonderful. After removing all the feather bones, I prefer the taste better than many other fish... including catfish. Thanks!
@@JacquesGaspardCajunCook yes I know. That's why I made that very distinction at the end of my response. Many people say " buffalo carp" and I usually can't help but to try and educate them politely about the two different species and their respective origins.
@@davidcopple8071 I've tried carp but just can't handle the taste. Buffalo is different.
@@JacquesGaspardCajunCook I like both. Of course in addition to bleeding them and removing the fishy tasting fat. You should also cut out any blood lines in the meat and I go one extra step and brine my fish overnight in salt water in the refrigerator.
I also eat the Roe of both fish as well. Well cleaned and brined overnight as well. Then cut open the egg sacks and empty eggs. Then mix with flour, egg and spices and fry like fritters. Very good.
I also understand that the invasive Aisan Carp, ( AKA the flying carp) , are extremely good to eat. I don't have those in my area yet.
noo voi europeo non sapete cucinare i pesci si vede da come pulire e maneggiare coltelli senza tekniche..
Hey guy you look like you scared to handle the fish. Im a woman and I could have done a braver and better job that you. LOL you had to scale it first then cut off all them fins, then take the gills out then split it straight down the middle and GUTS it. Then make sure all the insides are properly cleaned out. Then you put it in a BIG dish pan under the faucet then pour a little vinegar over it and run cold water over it then you wash it off really clean at least three times then you prepare it to be cooked grilled or baked
Wow! I bet you to pee standing up, too. Don't ya?
@@JacquesGaspardCajunCook 😂😂
Fucking up that fish, there's alot of fine bones throughout that fish u can't enjoy it that way
