    I make fish patties out of them. Chopped up fish, Italian bread crumbs, diced onions and bell peppers (sauté in butter first), an egg, Parmesan cheese, and your favorite seasoning, I use Cavendars but any seasoning is fine. Mix it all together really well, form into pattie, and pan fry. They’re really good.

    Love your videos man. Always look forward to them. I appreciate the variety. Some guys focus too hard on a particular species or spot. That gets kinda boring eventually. Also, thank you for your service. 14 year Vet here.

    I love your level of respect for the fish we're blessed with man. You never keep anything you're not planning on eating, you make sure nothing goes to waste, and your love for fishing is GENUINE! No matter what you catch, you're always having a good time.
    Cheers from down the road in Navarre brother. 🤙🏿🇺🇲

    I grew up listening to people say, "That fish is no good to eat" without either trying it myself or asking the important question: "Have you ever tried it?". When I started asking that question, almost universally the answer was, "no". My experience since is that almost all saltwater fish are delicious if properly prepared. I fix my sailcats just a bit differently and cut out every trace of red and fry them up. They're as good as any stream-caught channel catfish. This was another great catch-and-cook episode. Excellent content!

    Love your videos man! Could you possibly do a video of a tier list of fish to keep and cook from the Gulf Area? Like best to worst? And maybe include sizes, because I've heard some fish once they reach a certain size does not taste good? Just a thought! Keep up the good work!!

  • @randystone4903
    @randystone4903 Před rokem +4

    Appreciate this video, good catch when trout or reds aren't biting. I'll take the advice about not eating certain fish, but when a sailcat ate my live mullet I gave them a try. We'd hang fresh water cats from a big nail on a dock's post and used those skinning pliers. Prefer to cook with the backbone left in and pull the meat off at the table. Be sure to keep a roll or biscuit handy in case a bone gets stuck in your throat says Grandma.

    @maxpinson5002 Před rokem +1

    Really nice
    I love me some catfish.
    I usually take the cleaned meat
    and they get to rest in a big bowl
    of salty ice water while I'm
    getting the other stuff ready.
    I guess that makes two of us
    that use the complete seasoning.
    Thanks for the video

    I remember my cousins paw paw on his mommas side cooked a whole platter of hard heads . Brought them to a kids party. Let everyone dig in and after the platter was low he let all the cajun ladies know. They ain't trust him since. He always was like that though eating green turtles, that man would turn a storm minnow into a sardine, no shame . He was the ultimate catch cook clean specialist before his time.

    I lived in Florida for 22 years I used to take saltwater sail cats file them down take the skin off then soak in a marinade overnight. The marinade was just spicy Italian dressing equal parts of lime and lemon juice. Then place them on the grill and some garlic butter and enjoy

    I always wanted to try a sail cat. Up here in north Georgia when I catch big freshwater catfish I hang them up by there jaw and cut their whole tail off while they are alive and their heart pumps all the blood out super fast and they die quickly and it makes the meat white as snow. It also makes a huge difference flavor wise. I really don’t like catfish unless they have been cleaned that way.
