Fillet or Not?

[MOPanfisher]

My grandma once collected the carcasses of some crappie filleted and took them home to fry.  We don't even leave the skin on suckers anymore.  Trout, i don't even know when the lady time I ate a trout was, don't care if I ever eat another one or not.  Smaller fish like greenies on a creek bank, scaled and head/gut out are pretty tasty just on a stick with some salt, just thinking about that brings back memories.

There is one fish that I really dislike...Tilapia

I don’t care how you cook it. It has become popular in the last 15 years for some reason. Probably the ease of farm raising them.

I have never tasted a talipia and I refuse to try one.

I’m with you on this one. 
 

I may have misunderstood and, aren’t tilapia the bait fish that helped grow the monster Bass in falcon?? Border Shad??

I wont eat ANY farm raised fish, or ANY seafood imported from Asia. They feed Tilapia poop in Asia....Saw Tilapia for 99 cents a lb at the Mexican Market in Marco, IL Florida, and nobody would touch it. Grouper heads & snapper were selling fast though.

Now I will agree with the Chinese. I used to breast them out because I was lazy. But man, have ever had Peking Duck cooked right? One of my favorite meals.Leave it whole!!

Breast and grill medium rare.  Peking Duck is a LOT of trouble.  Starting with picking the dang thing.

Totally agree with you, but the legs have a lot of meat too

Not enough man, not enough.  They are the worst to try tp pick too.  Give me a duck breast filet.  Turkey same way.  You will never hear about me doing anything with a wild turkey other than breasting it out, making strips and then quick fry.  Turkey legs are for at the fair where somebody else does all the work.
