What's your preference between bream and Specks on the supper table?
What's your preference between bream and Specks on the supper table?
Crappie, but it's a hard call. I love both when prepared appropriately.
One vote for bream fillets. ;)
....lee s.
Man dixieangler that is a tough question. I would have to say specks just because I haven't had the opprotunity to catch a lot of bream. But to tell you the truth if you put either in front of me will some coleslaw and a big glass of sweet tea I'd be happy.
Bream, but I won't pass on crappie either.
I would have to say my preference is bream but that is only b/c I catch alot more bream than crappie. I won't turn either down! Bream fillets are hard to beat!

Big ole redear fillets, unless those crappie came out of very cold water.
there is no doubt that the best eating fish is sac-a-lait on the bone or fillets.
Hands down Blugill. Crappie are great but the Blugill have such a firmer texture to the fillet. When we have our fish fries in the spring, we usually have some crappie in with the Bluegill and their always the last ones left in the basket when we're done. I'm not taking anything away from crappie though, still leve em to.
It depends on who's doing the cooking.
Another vote for Bluegill.
Blugill if thats all I have. Crappie if thats all I have.
I have learned though, don't eat a gill and then a speck. Kind of ruins a meal.
I like Crappie ....
Since I only fish for bream during the spawn I love 'em. We will cook up 3 or 4 messes a year and they are great. Course we eat crappie much much more and they are hard to beat too. But then again, I never caught bream big enough to fillet either.....just a good hand sized bream is what I catch and keep till I get a limit.
I've never eaten a bluegill that was't filleyed. How else can you eat them?
I fillet the bigger ones, but I just scale, cut off the head and gut the smaller ones. Fry them a litle longer than you would a fillet. You can even eat the fins if you get them just right..........crispy and delicious.Quote:
