Question: Where do all those fish end up when numbers are caught?

[Happyfisherman]

Now you all got me interested in cooking some crappie! I catch enough of them every time I fish a local lake I could feed a city block. The only fish that I do eat are at a restaurant, Gorton's frozen fish or take out /fast food and are always saltwater. Which is better - freshwater or saltwater fish?

Throw some nice crappie on ice, rinse, scale, rinse again until all the slime is off, dry with a paper towel and fillet the next day so they become rigor mortis. Some people cut the skin off but I like the skin, also has a lot of nutrients. Salt and pepper, batter and fry and don't look back. Make sure to cut out the pin bones, I use scissors. Fillets should have ZERO fishy smell if prepped properly. Peanut oil is best but canola is also good for frying
