Boiled Bluegill

Never tried this one before. sounds good

I have gotta try this !!!!:fish

Got to try this because i luv boiled shrimp

I tried this out yesterday and it was excellent.

Lol... believe it or not, back many years ago the Ar G&F gave this same recipe in one of their quarterly magazines. It's been a favorite of mine ever since. Now, the other recipe given and yes, just as tasty is doing the same with drum fillets of all things. Has the taste of shrimp and the texture of lobster. And yes, it's call poor man's lobster.

I've done it for years, tastes great and much like shrimp, just make sure you boil it until it's barely done and then throw it into an ice bath so it's firm.

Very good for sure!

I've done it a number of times, and it's really good. I've even got my recipe somewhere on the cooking forum. I do filet them and then cut the filets into generous sized or serving strips. You need to simmer, not a rolling boil, until just barely done and still firm and throw them immediately into an ice bath to stop the cooking while they're still firm. You can add some crab boil and lemon juice to the water when boiling if you desire or just add lemon juice to the ice boil.

I was interested to see it works with drum, too. I'm going to have to try that. After years of throwing drum back, I just started keeping them last year, and they aren't bad at all fileted and fried.

They way them down south. They call them redfish. Haha. A drum is a drum. I've tried them they aren't bad.
