Instead of the egg wash, try using just plain yellow mustard, one time and then dredge it in your dry mix. You’ll love it.

@calebwistad 2 месяца назад

I’ll try it!

@yirmiyahu1397 19 дней назад

@@calebwistad a little bit of mustard goes a long way though. Lol I personally just put a few drops on each side of my fish, and rub it in. Also, thank you for the video, man 👍

Top fin you can eat down to the solid spikes too tail and top fin are my favorite parts. Definitely have to season your breading more whole opposed to fillets too. Great job guys !

@calebwistad 2 месяца назад

Yes. I agree. Breading needs to have more flavor when doing it this way. Also salting as you go is helpful!

Great job, Wisconsin Brother! Very good videos and I've learned a bunch! THANX! I see in comments below that the scored (whole) fish were favored. I'd never heard of that before. Nice!

good idea using the shears on that hard breast plate bone i also use them on catfish fins and kitchen scissors for the blues etc

@calebwistad Год назад

Yes. Makes the job easier, not to mention safer!

Take that water with all the scales and fish parts and dump into a garden bed.

@calebwistad Год назад

Great idea! Good fertilizer.

@basskirkster Год назад

@@calebwistad my wife loves it when I bring dinner home from the lake. Delicious food and then great fertilizer for the tomatoes. Win win all the way around 👍

@ARCSTREAMS Год назад

good kid you got there cute lil guy and that would have been my choice too ,perch is good tasting fish but blue has the right texture between all 3 not too firm not too flaky and still tasty ,i used to hate catching sunfish but my mother loves them so big ones are a good keep along with blues but crappies are easiest to scale i can do it with my thumb nail

@calebwistad Год назад

Thanks. He’s a great kid. And yes, they are all good in their own way.

@lordvader6512 Месяц назад

Cool video. Would be interested in the idea of dry brining the fish before cooking. I do this with steak all the time.

@calebwistad Месяц назад

That is an interesting thought. Might have to look into that!

i use perch for fish chowders.

@calebwistad Год назад

I really need to try a fish chowder some time. You have a good recipe?

@Thathersheyguy Год назад

I’ve never seen anyone scale a fish holding the tail. I grew up on the lake and I fished pretty much everyday and if we skinned fish it was sacrilege lol. I always put the head right into my left palm and scaled from the tail to my left hand

@calebwistad Год назад

Gotcha. Might be easier that way!

@HC-kr8rs 26 дней назад

I do the same.

@faruqali869 Год назад

What did you do with all the row from the perch???

@calebwistad Год назад

I pitched them. I’ve tried roe before and don’t care for it.

@ARCSTREAMS Год назад

aha here is that vid with the water method to scale lol but its not completely idealistic as its difficult to see and you still need to do those small spots you mentioned and have to kinda hold it out of water for that unless you got a big tub but still difficult to do that while keeping it under water

@calebwistad Год назад

You got it!

@calebwistad 10 месяцев назад

Typically canola.

@josephblow3581 Год назад

I've honestly never seen anyone filet a bluegill. my pops and grand dad always ate them right of the bone. the women of the family usually pulled the meat off with a fork in one big piece. thanks for the video

@calebwistad Год назад

That’s what I’m hearing a lot of people say. We grew up filleting them up here in Wisconsin. Nobody eats them whole.

@josephblow3581 Год назад

how about catfish? whole or always fillet in Wisconsin?

@calebwistad Год назад

@@josephblow3581 always fillet those too!

@josephblow3581 Год назад

@@calebwistad eating fish whole must be a southern thing. I'll bee watching your channel more.

@Mountain_Valley_Sky 11 месяцев назад

When you come from a lineage of ancestors who catch & eat fish as much as for survival, as a recreational meal... & especially smaller fish... you are taught eat them whole. I prefer to fillet, when I have enough to eat. Has anyone ever use a 'pressure cooker' on pan fish? I hear the bones get even more dissolved inside the meat tissue.

@russellt9059 2 месяца назад

Where did you get the shears

@calebwistad 2 месяца назад

I think I left a link in the description.

@ripteye8229 Год назад

I have done it this way with crappie and bluegill, I still prefer fillets they just taste better in my opinion, If I have to work around bones it ruins the meal for me.

@calebwistad Год назад

Yeah. It’s not for everybody. Not me every time either, but it’s fun for something different!

Nah, been using scissors for years and never had any close calls. 😆

@Payne33 2 месяца назад

@@calebwistad lol I meant more so for the fish 😂 they cut super well. I would invest in a pair for sure. Definitely seem to do way better than my knife for gutting for sure

@kirk1234ish Год назад

No need to add salt after cooking if you mix salt and black pepper to taste in the bread crumbs

@calebwistad Год назад

I did season the breading like I normally would for fillets but I found you need more seasoning to cover the flavor using this method.

@MrBoogerblood Год назад

My friend and I when younger would basically do this assembly line style with bluegill. He would scale them with a spoon. I would cut the head off, then cut from anal opening towards head, then scoop out guts. I really like bluegill deep-fried in pancake batter. The sweetness compliments the bluegill meat.

@calebwistad Год назад

Nice. Bluegill is one of the best!

@pedobear794 Год назад

@calebwistad Год назад

@toddlocke6061 Год назад

Perch is going to be hard to scale

@calebwistad Год назад

And you are correct. It was the most difficult one out of the three.

@jonnorton9720 10 месяцев назад

And what about the scored side verses the unscored side…which tasted better..you forget all about that?😮

@calebwistad 10 месяцев назад

Well shoot, so I did! The scored side was better imo.

@pamelamackin1165 6 месяцев назад

Where is the seasoning in these videos

@calebwistad 6 месяцев назад

Seasoning is in the breading.

@hooligangeneral300 Год назад

Only problem with that is the belly meat and the silver is where all the mercury and heavy metals are found in fish.

@calebwistad Год назад

True. I’d worry about it more on larger, older fish.

@MrSurfangler 9 месяцев назад

A nice tip on scaling and removing slime of a fish is to use your water pressure jet . Its great for taking off fish scales and slime! I think it would be a better step in your pike cleaning videos than dumping the pike in vinegar. If I had to batter try the fish anyways then I would take the skin off the perch. like this ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-pjTlFwQb7D0.html

@calebwistad 9 месяцев назад

yeah perch are the worst fish on the planet to scale lol that why i just fillet em but i prefer eating them whole with the skin so i found a great easy method ,,just have your mother do it haha
