Thanks, I respect the fish I catch so utilizing as much of it gives me a good feeling..... Being in Alaska you have several species we don't have here and coming there to fish is on my bucket list..... Thanks
I just caught a good mess of redear and goggle eye this morning and I'm getting ready to clean them. I'm going to fry them up tomorrow for me and my 71 yr. old Mother who Loves to eat fish. I've watched your video 2 times now and I think I got it. I can fillet a mess of bass with my electric fillet knife very quick, but with these pan size critters it's a bit more challenging. Thanks so much for the video!
Tasty for sure..... I bought the knife from a small store in Fort Worth TX, don't remember the name but I'll get you the brand the knife is later today..... Thanks
Excellent video sir! Thank you for sharing those years of experience. I’ve been catching, cooking, & cleaning Bream & Crappie for too long to mention and I’m learning new tools to pass on. We’ve never seen the cross cutting or the foil trick👍🏼
Man talk about finger lickin good LOL 😜😜😜😜.... Mama and I just got back from Port Aransas sand we see this video now we're super hungry again LOL that looks like a great recipe and also a great tip to use scrunched up foil👍👍👍 you definitely have bluegill filleting down my friend it was very satisfying watching you cut those fish up👍👍👍👍
That foil helps big time keeping the fish crunchy.... Napkins take the crunch quickly soaking the fish in the oil.....I always look for new was that's better and or faster to fillet..... These things sure are great on a plate brother.... Bet y'all had fun in Port A.... Thanks
SK, this was worth the wait!!!! The use of the tin-foil to drain the grease was something I am going to copy next time I fry some fish. Those scored slabs had to be as good as they looked. Thanks buddy.
Man you brought back good memories my family ate alot off fish every Saturday evening when we got back and cleaned them. The garbage was all fish bones after eight people finished eating. Thank you👍
Oooh that sizzle tho!! Plenty ready! Them gills are pretty swimming in that grease! It’s gotta be cast iron! Never crowd fish in the pan! I love the tip of the tin foil! I’m ready to eat! Mmm..now I’m craving gills and/or grits and cornbread with slaw!!
Good afternoon Brother, brings me back to my younger days when me and my cousins would catch those big Shellcrackers and Bluegills, in the Everglades National Park, down in Florida, you are a great fisherman as well my Brother, looks great wish i could have some with you. God Bless and Be Safe my Brother
SK you got me hungry I’ve been chasing them big bluegill for over 30 years and I’ve never seen the cross cut and aluminum foil trick I will try that next time and thank you for making this video for those that don’t know about the brim Fishing . That’s what we need to do brother passed it on keep the tradition going very good video SK thank you
There you go SK that is some mighty fine eatin' right there I guarantee. I use a wire rack to drain but I like your crinkled foil method. Looking forward to the blackened fillet method. 👍👍
I've been looking for the wire rack and can't find'um.....I use this foil to season when I fry filleted fish after taking them out of the oil and discovered it's a great way to drain the fish at the same time..... It was more fun than I was thinking doing this cooking vid so there will be more coming..... Thanks brother.....
Looking good SK. I got the whole picture, I watched you catch em, I watched you prepare and cook em, PRICELESS. I never scored em, but I will go under the skin with a sharp fillet knife and remove scales and skin at the same time. The meal never falls off because there's no skin to puff up and knock it off. Keep the film rolling 🎥!!!
Even when I fillet with an electric knife on crappie, I go back and get those two extra chunks of meat left when done wrong. Just like going for the cheek meat on bigger fish. loved the video, well done Sir
GREAT VID SK!!! MADE ME HUNGRY AS I USED TO DO THIS A LOT! IT'S TIME TO CATCH ME SOME MORE BLUEGILLS! THEY ARE THE SWEETEST TASTING FISH I THINK! THANKS!
When I was a boy, I had never been fishing in my life. So, one morning I went to the sporting goods store and bought everything I needed to catch my first fish. I headed to the town reservoir because I was always told it was loaded with fish. Sure enough, I caught my first fish within about 10 minutes. It was a bluegill. Excited, I took that fish home, cut the head off and stood there at the counter staring at what I had done. I was frozen because I had no idea what to do next. I couldn't call my dad for help because there were no cell phones back then and he was unreachable at his construction job. I couldn't research it on the computer because internet wasn't even a concept at that point. And, my mother was at work and I knew she didn't have a clue about how to clean a fish. I felt so bad because I took a happy, healthy fish who was just swimming around enjoying his day and ended his life for what turned to be no reason at all. Traumatized, I never went fishing again because I never got over thinking about that poor fish that was landed by a clueless boy who knew absolutely nothing.
You've gotta try it again and put that bluegill in some hot oil..... Yes it ends their life but it goes to great use and there's plenty more to keep their population going.....Thanks
Your opinion is right on the tater chips. I love the crispy tail. Of course I'm from the "old school". I filet most, but on the gills, I like them full. Good video
You make that look easy and tasty. Reminds me of catching from our pond but never enjoyed eating those bluegill, just to many bones for my liking. Great video as always SK!
Brother SK now this is what I been waiting on! Nothing to it but to do it. Brother I tell you I cut my fish clear down to the tail. The reason why is because that part that's difficult to clean around the bone area. You can get to it much easier plus they fry better then I score mine exactly like yours. Great video brother keep them coming. Forgot to mention you didn't have that sweet onion lol
I'll be doing that one coming soon and it's another great way to fo fish.... that cut almost in half cooks up good..... Thanks for the great feedback .....
Man it was a good thing I watched this over lunch when. Them some well fried fish vittles there.. mmm I think I go to get some of that seasoned fry and give it a try. Hey see them is the SK cooking secrets I have been waiting to see!!! Thank you sir!🤗👍👍👍
We need to invent SMELLOVISION....LOL. as always excellent video. I can't wait to take my boat out and get my jokers on the line, been down due to the Corona restrictions. 👍😎
For Sure. Just run that cavity underneath the cold water while brushing that inner spine, and it looks like a "New Tooth" when done, lol. God Bless Brother! I'm currently watching your live chat with Lamar Bunting!
Awesome info in that live, Lamar will be on top with his analogy of crappie fishing very soon...... I've been planning on doing a catch, clean and cook for a while and will make it happen soon..... Thanks!
I'm probably older than you but this video makes me miss my dad... Thank you for bringing back the memories. Love you my brother!
Glad you enjoyed.....Thanks brother and love you too....
Thank u sir. This video just took me back in time about 55 or so years . Only i was bank fishing with my Grandma. God Bless You and Yours
I don't do it often but when I do I really enjoy it.... Glad to hear you enjoyed and be Blessed.....Thanks
Man...thank you for creating this video. I'm bringing fish home after watching this.
Sure is some good eating.... Thanks brother and I'll be looking for that vid.....
Finally someone who knows how to prep and cook fish. Great job. Missing those bluegills, ain't none in Alaska.
Thanks, I respect the fish I catch so utilizing as much of it gives me a good feeling..... Being in Alaska you have several species we don't have here and coming there to fish is on my bucket list..... Thanks

Looking good SK. I got the whole picture, I watched you catch em, I watched you prepare and cook em, PRICELESS.

Very delicious.... Thanks
You make that look easy and tasty. Reminds me of catching from our pond but never enjoyed eating those bluegill, just to many bones for my liking. Great video as always SK!
Scoring them allows the meat to just peel off the bones.... Easy and Tasty for sure..... Thanks
Hey SK ! Wal mart has a 99 cent scaler. Get one and try it, and you will be happy you did. Thanks for the video. good eating.
I'll have to check it out.... Good eating for sure......Thanks
Brother SK now this is what I been waiting on! Nothing to it but to do it. Brother I tell you I cut my fish clear down to the tail. The reason why is because that part that's difficult to clean around the bone area. You can get to it much easier plus they fry better then I score mine exactly like yours.

I fry the throats too. Also, I use a hard bristle toothbrush to brush along the spine to get all that blood out.
I've had them with the throat still on also.... Good idea with the brush... Greeting all that blood out really does improve the taste.....Thanks
For Sure. Just run that cavity underneath the cold water while brushing that inner spine, and it looks like a "New Tooth" when done, lol. God Bless Brother! I'm currently watching your live chat with Lamar Bunting!

Good tips on how scoring them to allow the seasoning to get in. I ain’t ever cleaned fish in the house, though. My wife wouldn’t allow it! 😂
Seasoned to the bone..... This is my home away from home so it's just me that I have to worry about.....LOL
Thanks
You're awesome man.
