| haighr,
Chuck has a recipe for deep frying panfish that works. I got it from the "Pork" thread, tried it and it's great.
I don't know if he freezes them but I do putting meal sized portions in ziplock bags after I take them from my FryDaddy deep fryer and flip them in the freezer.
Makes for quick (3 minutes in the microwave to thaw and heat) and tasty finger food for lunch or dinner. Hmmm...I haven't tried them for breakfast (yet). |

| Sounds great, could you share the recipe. We have a cabin in the mountains with a creek and pond and catch many a blue gills. We have pan fried them with butter and spices but sounds better to fry them with a batter in a deep fryer and have them ready in the freezer. |

| Thanks for the recipe, I'll have to add it to my keepers. You remind me that I used to have one of those fry daddy's many years ago. I wonder what I did with it? |

| Yes it is, nice to make your acquaintance.
Then you may be familiar with western MD out through the gap - We have a cabin up there that borders Sideling Creek and it has a pond just off the front porch full of sunny's. They stock the creek every year with trout as well.

| haighr,
Recently, there was a crab cake bake off in Baltimore and interest in it was so great that it was telecast by a local station.
I'm wondering if your daughter saw it or could otherwise provide some "local knowledge" on how to improve on this tried and true Old Bay recipe?
Just curious. |

| That IS a mess of blues!! lol !! I love catching a good stringer full of Blue's, Pumpkinseed or Rockbass, or a combination. I then steam em' in foil by a campfire until lightly done.
... "CAMPFIRE CHOWDER"...
Let 'em cool some, then strip off the meat and reserve. To a soup pot, add a stick of butter, a can or two (depending on how much fish) of "condensed cream of mushroom soup", an equal amount of water, two to four stalk's of chopped celery, a small chopped onion, a shredded or thinly sliced carrot or two, two to four small to medium cubed potatoes, a little salt and a whole lotta black pepper.
Bring to a light boil over campfire, then back it of the fire a bit and let 'er simmer. Add your reserved fish meat to the pot when potatoes are about done, adding a little water if needed. Simmer a few minutes on a low fire, 'till the woods are a smelling like a gourmet restaurant. Take off the fire, let cool down a bit and salt to taste before digging in to the best "Fish Chowder" you've ever had!! If the woods were a gourmet restaurant, this chowder would go for $20.00 a cup!! lol !! :o)
