Look What Came Over The Spill Gates....

[Phil Lilley]

I know we have them in here- just don't see them up here. But this one came through the gates and there's been more reported since. Other stories of big fish seen this week swimming around too - not trout. May be walleye, gar, spoonbill or... ?? Who knows.

What did they do with it?

[Phil Lilley]

We slid it back in the lake... I knew they were out of season PLUS I don't eat them.

[Chief Grey Bear]

Well I agree they are not the best tasting fish swimming.

Wrong, wrong, wrong! You have to know how to clean them, prep them, and cook them though.

#1, bleed It out like a pig. (Usually removing the "cord", or spine does that) Cut the cord at the head, cut around the tail, twist the tail and pull, and pull, and pull!

#2. Get rid of every speck of red meat. EVERY bit of It.

Paddlefish three ways:

1. Cut steaks, kinda like small pork chops. Season with Montreal Steak seasonong, and grill over charcoal. (Ever have a grilled shark steak?)

2. Cut It in strips, or "nuggets" bread It with Andy's, or your favorite fish breading, and deep fry It.

3. Cut the meat in 3/4" to 1" cubes. Steam or boil with a seafood boil seasonong mix. Serve with cocktail sauce. Mock shrimp, or crab!

#3. Trade the eggs for an 8-ball of cocaine asap, since possession of the latter will get you less jail time.

Lol

Spoonbill are my 2nd favorite eating fish behind walleye. Like stated above you gotta know how to cook em!

It's a shame that MDC doesn't have some way of allowing the use of a fish that is going to go to waste. Like they have with road kill deer.

Same with an 8 or 10 pound Channel Cat that is accidentally snagged during Spoonbill season, has it's side ripped open, and is going to go to waste as well because you have to return It to the water, or face the possibility of a ticket.
