What are you cooking today.

[Rtc/tsn]

What spice do you use? I use Everglades.

I hand season it on a paper plate with a mix of pineapple sriracha steak rub, chipotle Chile powder, jalapeño garlic powder, zesty Italian seasoning, Texas bbq and salt and pepper, a lot of pepper and I move it all to a big bowl and put the fillets in there and either shake or mix by hand depending on mood lol. When I season the meat I mix it for about 20 minutes constantly adding more pepper and I do it while the fillets are wet so that it makes a type of sauce that it sits in as I mix it until the meat is stained from all the spices then finally I put it in a bag of flour and all the stuff I put on the meat and shake it for a couple seconds and cook until the breading starts to bubble and separate from the meat then I immediately put it on a paper towel and dust a handful of salt then I wrap it up in the paper towel loosely and give a good shake to get the salt on all the meat and then it’s ready to eat. Trust me, is absolutely delicious please try it out and I promise you won’t regret it

I've never eaten bass before but that looks like some pretty good fish fry.

If you eat fish I encourage you to try it the way I cook it. It’s amazing trust me. And bass actually has really white large flakey meat that holds together super well and have no bloodline unless it’s over about 15” but even then it’s just at the tail and you can slice it down and keep a majority of the tail meat and the cheeks are have a super sweet taste and it’s just a hunk of meat with no flakes. Best tasting fish I’ve had so far is probably saugeye or bluegill. Really wanting to try fresh caught yellow perch but don’t know if they’re in the Cincinnati area. Also want to try freshwater drum, a lot of people say it’s inedible because it’s a bit oily and that gives it a small fishy flavor but I’m sure if you bleed it immediately and put on ice then that would probably fix it.

Oh I love fish,mostly catfish and I can take it breaded or just pan seared.I love tilapia too,those are my go to's lol
I would have to find a place that carries bass as I am not much of an angler and I have never seen any at the market that I shop at.

Yea bass isn’t a commonly sold eating fish because of all of the tournaments and stuff they have going for them no one really thinks of food when they see them they just think oh wow this is a good 4 pound bass or something like but it’s actually delicious. I’m on a journey to catch clean and cook as many fish as I can and eat it so I can compare and rate each fish. Next fish I plan on trying is carp but Im still trying to find a way around the bones. I’ve heard lemon juice dissolves them but not sure. If anyone can tell me if that’s true or not that would be greatly appreciate. After carp I plan an hunting down gar, musky and pike but all of the 3 are all fish that I have never seen wild or caught. I know my local lake has musky because my papaw used to work at a fish hatchery as a teenager and helped stock musky in the lake and I highly doubt they haven’t been reproducing ever since. And there’s a river by my house maybe 20 minutes away I know of a spot in the Ohio river that I wanna try for gar using cut bait made from carp with a big treble hook and a 2 ounce egg sinker. As for pike… I don’t know anything about them, I don’t know what to use as bait, where they live, or how to catch them. I don’t even know if there’s any in Ohio.
