misfish Posted October 22, 2017 Report Share Posted October 22, 2017 I have been layed up the past 3 days with a wicked cold virus or sumthin. Pumped the body with vitamin C and slept something like 36 hours. Im not one for sitting around and it kills me when I cant get out fishing. Even had to pass up on my last toon outing of the year yesterday . Yes, it is getting put away today. Woke up this morning and felt good enough to finally eat and drink something. Gave it an hour and said the hell with this, Im not sitting here today. Grabbed a tube of tied roe,rod,back pack and I was off. Even the mrs,s said, I knew you were not going to sit here. LOL It was a great few hours. Not a soul around and I went 4/5. What a stellar morning. Go to my back pack and no camera. Oh well. Anyhoo, I bleed my fish right after I get them if Im keeping. Cut the right spot and the blood gushes out. When I get home, I end up with fillets like this,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

porkpie Posted October 22, 2017 Report Share Posted October 22, 2017 I've been snapping necks on my fish for many years. Better quality meat, and if your keeping some eggs as well you'll get better quality roe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sinker Posted October 22, 2017 Report Share Posted October 22, 2017 Broil them in a caserole dish in white wine, don't over cook them, it only takes like 5-7 mins. Then make a dill sauce to put on them. 1/2 plain yogurt 1/2 sour creme dill weed to taste When the fish is done, just brush a little of that sauce on and bobs your uncle. So good!! S.

jimmer Posted October 23, 2017 Report Share Posted October 23, 2017 Do you take the row of bones out of the fillets? What's the best way to remove them? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BillM Posted October 23, 2017 Report Share Posted October 23, 2017 I usually cook steelhead or trout whole. Meat just comes off, and zero bones. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sinker Posted October 23, 2017 Report Share Posted October 23, 2017 Do you take the row of bones out of the fillets? What's the best way to remove them? I pluck them out with needlenose pliers or forcepts. S. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SirCranksalot Posted October 23, 2017 Report Share Posted October 23, 2017 I steak the upper part and cook with the bones, then just slab the lower part. Cook simply with little 'adulteration'. Skip the lemon---don't need it on fresh fish! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
misfish Posted October 23, 2017 Author Report Share Posted October 23, 2017 I pluck them out with needlenose pliers or forcepts. S. On larger fish, I will slide the blade along both sides of the hair bone. Just like I do on white fish. A good knife will do this nicely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LittleWorm Posted October 25, 2017 Report Share Posted October 25, 2017 I have seen videos and different people saying to bleed the fish but I myself have never done it. Will have to give it a try,,,,,if I ever catch a fish again that is! It's been a very bad year for me, every time I try to get out i've had wicked headaches . Get them about 5-6 times a week, finally after months and months of waiting I have an MRI set for Nov 27, wooohooo! Maybe they can figure out what wrong with my noggin.
