Quote from: Pete on April 04, 2023, 08:28:07 AMIt’s pretty easy to clean a fish. I can do it, and I have the hand eye coordination of a small child. Unless you catch a Northern, because they have these weird bones. Just throw those rascals back. Lots of YouTube’s these days. I use an electric filet knife, and that helps a bunch. Cooking over a fire is best done one or two ways. First with a skillet (and a crap load of unhealthy lard and/or butter with batter), or second with a fish basket. The fish basket approach is more like grilling. My dad cooks fish like a hot dog on a fire and pokes it with a stick and just dangles it out there. Make sure the wood is a hardwood and not pine or cedar or other evergreen or your fish will taste like Skoal winter green mixed with ashes.What's the best fish to catch, cook over an open fire, and then eat? I'm going to be in Montana/Wyoming this summer, maybe I'l try it up there!

Take a trout, gut it, fill gut pouch with butter and lemon, wrap in foil, throw on coals, enjoy.Sent from my SM-G975U using Tapatalk

Do you keep the head on and everything? How long does it take to cook (ish)? When its done do you filet it afterwards or do you eat the skin with the meat? I've always filleted the trout like in my pics, cooked them over the fire, scraped off the flaky meat then fed the skins that were charred on the outside to my mutts.
Fishing guys. Lil SF loves to fish and I hate it for the most part. We go a couple times a year and its fine. Usually Grandpa takes care of everything so I don't have to do too much gross stuff. Anywho, what's the proper way to murderkill a fish? Lil SF loves to eat his catch which I can appreciate. Poor Grandpa used to murder tiny blue gill all the time to make him happy. So, what's the play with limited tools for say a catfish? Grandpa does a great job and he knows i'm not rough ridin' doing it, but I can tell he is a bit uncomfortable sometimes with his murdering techniques.

I’d buy frozen fish filets and fry those up and lie to the kid and say it’s the fish he caught.
Opening weekend at the farm pond.
