I have eaten lots of Buffalo. They are good if fixed right. Cut the rib cages out and divide into sections 2 or 3 ribs each. One tip is to scrape off all fat and off colored stuff on inside (part next to guts)of rib. I remove red meat and check to see no small bones left on only big rib bones. Wash quickly in sink of hot water containing 1/4 cup salt and 1/4 cup vinegar. Then rinse well in sink of water and ice. Drain well and meal like Catfish and deep fry. I recommend frying a bit longer as it is a fat type fish.
Not recommended for kids but you can take the rest of fillets and score skin and the tear (do not cut meat) into frying size parts. The small bones called feather bones will be easy to remove after cooking. If you cut them it will be nearly impossiable to eat. The back meat is wonderful if you don't mind picking out feather bones which stick out upon breaking open each piece fried.
There are times I perfer Buffalo after eating too many Crappie. I used to catch thousands of lbs using commercial gill nets. Some would be suprized at how many I've caught jig fishing for Crappie.
