Our Arkansas buddies fry Buffalo ribs each year when we Cajuns drive up to hunt ducks in the Dismal Swamp. We bring Jambalaya, Bodin, and hog cracklins. We eat good and enjoy the flooded timber. Buffalo is firm, moist, and tasty. Not fishy.
Living the life CatMan!!! They call it the rough fish . I'm 71 yrs an I like rough grub.
You livin the dream.
Really cool what your doing there shooting, cooking, and eating, all right there on the river. Love that kinda stuff. If you really wanna take it up a notch though with your recipe, take it from a pure blood coonass like myself, batter them in corn meal salt n pepper, or better yet some good ole Louisiana Fish Fry. And you really don't need that thermometer at all. Just drop you a small sprinkle of your batter mix in your oil and when it sizzles you know it's ready. The corn meal or fish fry mix will really give you a great crispy crunch that cannot be beat. Thanks for the video too I could watch this stuff for hours.
That was so fun! I've been waiting for you to use your new boat!
My husband and I just got a boat and we're going fishing and bow fishing next week,so thank you for a great and inspirational video!
I worked with a guy, who had a commercial fishing license,and ha said hi fin buffalo were the best tasting fish in the river, Wabash and Patoka rivers here in Indiana.
I used to have "long-bone buffalo" at a soul food cafe in my native Memphis back in the early 70's. Always good and the owner also fried chicken the same day in the fish grease........great also!
Buffalo ribs are fine eating. My first time was in Arkansas duck camp back in December and they were delicious!!!!!
This was a great video, but then again I’m never disappointed. All your videos are good 👍🏻
Thank you!
I gotta do a video like this soon! Excellent job bro.👍
Looks like you picked the perfect place to Chill!! Great video!!
Nice job Catman. What a gorgeous river as well.
That's awesome video.
Love watching your shows Cat man!
That's the way country Boys live. Keeping it 💯 % real.
That's cool. Nice river scenery. Thanks👍
Hell yeah man good to see you eat them, personally I just try to avoid shooting the buffs unless I need catfish bait, the Tennessee river is real dirty around here and those things can get to be 40, 50 years old, imagine all the mercury and crap that builds up in them... I don't like killing them if they're native and I'm not eating them either so I just shoot gar (delicious) and the nonnative carp
I can see the Buffalo ribs becoming a big thing. Restaurants, bars, tailgate parties. Might be taking rib less buffalo's to the compost soon. Be like blackened red fish. Paul Prudhome's recipe almost made redfish extinct and they were so thick you could walk across them. Move over chicken wings.
My dad would score the filet and most of the Y bones would fry out. Ate lots of these and carp as a kid. Good luck and God bless.
I would suggest you leave each rib attached to the backbone and cut section of the backbone like you would butterfly chop on a hog. Thats what the Arkansas boys do.
If you pressure can those Y bones will soften right up and you can eat that part also
Thanks for the last, I haven't heard a Chuck-wills-widow in a long time. The recipe looks good.
Nice boat!! Missed the video of the new boat...looks like a lot of fun!!! Great looking river and spot you picked to cook at
No barges!🎉🎉🎉
Nice job, sounded delicious
Catman gets it done no matter what he's after! Atta boy! Congratulations
Crazy thing I learned about buffalo from my local game and parks biologist, most of them around the size you were catching are 50-80 years old
And that's a lie
Wow that’s soooooo crazy 🙄
@@lescobrandon546 No, they can live up to almost 130 years
@@ffii7773 And that's a lie
@@lescobrandon546 wikipedia search "Bigmouth buffalo" and go eat your words for dinner boy
Great Video Catman Thanks for sharing
I love any Catch , Clean & Cook 🍳 😋 📹 😊
Love daytime bowfishin in the Arkansas
Thats a pretty place to cook fish! I will have to give it a try along with a gsr!
One hell of a good video!!
That’s a pretty sweet rig you have there. We don’t have buffalo around here, but those ribs sure look tasty!
Use a razor knife with carpet blades to get through those scales, then your filet knife. Cornmeal is so much better than flour.
Great video. I wonder if that method would work with pike. I’ll give it a try.
I personally like to fly fish for carp. Wish we had the buffalo like that, but all I ever see on the flats are carp, catfish, and the occasional bass.
👍👍Thanks for posting, great video!
That looks like a good time 🎉
You made me hungry fur sum buffalo ribs at the first crunch
Whack 'em and Stack 'em Catman!! Love it!
Heck yah looks tasty man and your boat sick heck of an upgrade from your old boat yewwwww
Ok 1 quick question for you what kind of oil do you use? Looks good, years back we would smoke up some suckers and a few carp, now that wasn't bad at all.
Wonder how it works with big carp? Going to have to give it a try.
Love the bowfishin videos !
cat man, anytime you catch a fish regardless what type of fish to cure the smell of fishiness, all you need to do is cut it up and squeeze lime onto it… leave the meat soaked in lime for 5-10 minutes and then wash it of with water, after that you can cook it and there’s no fishy smell.
Folks he’s a killing machine. He want go hungry.
Man they looked delicious
Man that really looked like some good eating!
They're awesome on the grill with some barbecue sauce glazed over them.
Need to start making a buffalo sucker call with a rib bone bruh
May 19th. Where are you located dude Tennessee, Arkansas ?
man you make it look easy i got one arm like ta try my excaliber cross bow on em
They look tasty Catman.
Save yourself some cutting time and leave the rib section whole, like a rack of baby back ribs. Fry 'em up whole. Looked good!!!
Hard to beat buffalo ribs.
Great filming/editing Catman! Was most of that footage from a static mounted 360-cam? The editing made it seem like you had a cameraman 😂 Nice work!
Thanks, yeah I used a GoPro Max on a monopod for those shots
Where is best place to go and shoot these carp? Any guide serves avail?
Actually you can catch them on a hook sometime. I've caught several. 17 lb biggest so far. Have some in the freezer.
Some of the best eating there is. Southeast Mo. just cut out the red.
👍
Buffalo fish can live over one hundred years. The oldest buffalo fish recorded was 127 years old in Canada.
They only spawn once a year, compared to the introduced or naturalized species the common carp. Who spawn three to four times in a year, with females laying over three hundred thousand eggs each spawn.
Buffalo fish don't become sexually mature until they reach three years old. So even though there are many of them now. IT wouldn't take long to put their populations in danger due to overfishing. And they are becoming increasingly popular.
Contrary to popular belief. Buffalo fish is a very tasty and healthy freshwater fish. Full of Omega 3 fatty acids and lots of protein. Though they do have a couple of rows of Y bones. You can easily deal with them several different ways. The ribs can be eaten just like pork ribs, the collar and head are great sources of bone free meat.
For the boney sections. You have a few options. If you have a sausage grinder it's simply a matter of grinding up that meat and the bones with become extra calcium in your tasty fish patties. You can also pressure can these parts and the pressure renders the bones soft and edible. You can also pickle your uncooked boney sections and the pickling process renders the bones soft and edible as well.
Be sure to bleed your buffalo while they are still alive and in water. Simply cut that section underneath the mouth and between the gills. There's a major artery that feeds blood to the gills. Cut that and place the fish back in water, stringer, basket, live well, or just an ice chest full of water. The fish will die slowly and peacefully. It's beating heart will pump out the majority of that fishy tasting blood and you'll have much less in the meat. I also like to brine my cuts as well overnight in a well salted salt water brine and this will pull out any remaining blood that can negatively effect the taste. Also brine and Cook any roe sacks you find inside the buffalo. Delicious!
This all equally applies to Common carp, and Catfish.
Are you using a 360 camera to shoot some of your footage?
Yes, a GoPro Max
what river is this that you are fishing on?
Where do you live? Do you ever take people out on bow fishing trips. I haven't been in years . still looks fun
Which river this one?
Nice shirt
What river is this?
Thanks for sharing l hope you have a kill switch hooked to you when you're on your boat and maybe even a life preserver. I'm just saying safe than sorry.
You’re wife don’t fish ?
whole lotta work for just a few bites
Now that’s the way to live
We eat the whole damn fish…
Learn how to clean them… nobody does it a like…. Getting the ribs are easy… experiment around the lateral line and you’ll figure the “Y” bones out as well
