Proposed Striper Stocking On Hold

Nice. I do like those stripers. Just havent caught any monsters.

I cleaned a 35# striped bass a couple of years ago and used a mustard sauce recipe to fry it. Just make sure that you trim off the red meat and cut the pieces of meat pretty thin like 1" thick and it is pretty good (not as good as walleye). But you get a lot of meat out of one fish.

Mike--would you share the mustard sauce recipe?

It was pretty easy to make the mustard sauce just thin with water any kind of prepared mustard (I used brown spicy Cajun) till it's thin enough to pour out of a spoon. Then dip the fish pieces ( cut the striped bass filets into about 1" thick portions and remove all of the red meat) in the mustard sauce and shake them in a zip lock bag containing a mixture of 3 parts white corn meal mix 1 part self rising white flour and 1 part plain bread crumbs and some white corn starch. I like to add spices to the mix like parsley flakes, garlic powder, onion powder, Cavenders, a little salt and some ground red pepper & paprika. Heat the oil in a deep fryer to 350 degrees and add one piece of fish at a time, fry till the fish starts to float. Drain on a steamer rack and serve. This recipe will work on any of the stronger flavored fish like White bass or LMB or drum.
