[VFB] Beer Battered Bluegill

[Garry V. Wiles]

Howdy Folks,

I know that there are a few out that harvest some 'gills and other 
panfish for the frying pan.  I'm looking into trying some out 
myself.  Every time I mention taking mention taking my girls out fly 
fishing for bluegill and mention numbers caught, I get asked how many 
we kept.  Well, I've got to the point that I want to try some for 
myself.  Problem is, I need a recipe.  I'm not a very inventive 
person, but at good at following directions.  I don't drink beer, so 
the recipe will need to use a whole can/bottle.  If I like it, I'll 
save the batter for future fish.  Also, I would like to be able to 
fry it in a stove top type pan.  If I have to add oil to cook it in, 
I'll need to know how much to add (ie fill the pan w/ 1" of oil or 
just coat the bottom or where-ever).  Also, since I'm not familiar 
with the subtle differences in beer, does it make a 
difference?  Would there be differences in lite/light beer vs. normal 
beer and differences between can/bottle and brands as well.

thanks!

Garry
