    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.

    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!

    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.

    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.

    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

    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.

    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.

    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.
