Garry: To Me, a bluegill don't need any help... I just put corn meal in a
paper bag, add a little salt and pepper.. Put the gills in the bag, shake
and fry.. I usually use Peanut oil cause it has a high burn point, but you
can use plain ol cheap Soybean oil too, Chuck

Subject: [VFB] Beer Battered Bluegill
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
