Fried for me, wife hates bones so I filet. Easier to vacuum pack and freeze without fins.

I like fish all ways they are prepared, but lean towards filets as the kids/grand kids prefer them that way
Filleted is the norm for my gang. We always use house autry breader and deep fry em. Occasionally we scale them and fry with the skin on too but still boneless filets.

Fillets, fried about 4 times a year.
Blackened the other 48 weeks of the year.
Old Bay is my favorite blackening spice.

Wait you can eat fish other ways than fried? :Rofl
Fillets here. Fried most of the time. Some gets grilled or smoked.
Not fair Butch……. You started the craving! Looks like a fish fry is on the agenda for the weekend.

I scaled some and then filet. Leaving the skin on. They were a little better but not worth the extra trouble for me.

Normally fileted but once in a while a mess of brim fried whole really hits the spot.
Fileted here in my house because of the grand kids and my wife is from Connecticut and doesn't know how to pull the meat off the bones! Just some things she refuses to learn. :Rofl Me, I'm any fish is good with me! :highfive
I like both but my wife won’t eat em whole. :banghead
I fillet all the fish we eat. The wife can't handle boned fish as she always gets a bone hung up so I stopped cooking fish on the bone. The kids and grandkids can go through some fillets.
My wife only eats fillets but she does want to bite the crispy tails off the whole fish but I wont let her. HA!. Same with my daughter. Me and my son LOVE the fish on the bone. To me they just taste different and ALOT better, especially after adding the amount of salt I like on my fish. They are more trouble though. I try to supply some fish to the folks that lets me deer hunt on their land so all they get are fillets....much easier to clean and I dont have to worry about them going to the ER at night.:pray
The wife won't eat bone on so filets for us. I do miss the tails.
Fillets for us
Filet you don't have to worry about the bones easy to eat Poppy in and let him go
Fillets for my family now. But growing up (many years ago) there was no filleting as my dad would say "your throwing the best tasting part of the fish away and wasting good meat".
Filet for crappie. Whole for bream.
Have you ever scaled them and then filleted them? That way you get the good taste of the skin without dealing with bones.Quote:
