All troll fish....1/26/24

Was pretty good 🥪

I keep my 20in-er clean and seasoned in the oven ready to go....
Giving up the salt is tuff.
Also I don't eat fryed chicken any more, so this is a reel treat, cooked in extra virgin olive oil.
Sometimes the bigger ones don't cook all the way thru but a microwave will fix that in about 30 seconds.

Nothing going in the freezer 😎

Hey Duke
When you cook em in the pan like that, try de-boning them...It's so good especially with cornbread dip before frying and that Krispy skin is soooooo yummy. Google deboning, and there are a few videos that make it pretty easy.
a good pair of cooking tweezers is essential for the final "pin bones"

Good luck on your new journey ✨️

I new about it even saw a video one time but never did it alittle more work but well worth it.
A much better product I like the way the corn 🌽 meal coats the fish better 😋 you can teach an old dog 🐕 new tricks. My kitchen scissors ✂️ sears really worked good cuting out the backbone and snipping the fins off ,where a sharp flexible fillet knife works good for side rib bones
And like you said a pare of tweezers with I keep in my tube patching kit. If I'm not going to freeze any fish I would rather cook it all up in a couple of days instead of having it sit in the fridge raw beside I like cold 🥶 fish the next day bon App?tit 😅

I will search for a deboneing video the back bone pulls out easy but the little rib bone get stuck in your mouth sometimes and you definitely don't want one stuck in your throat. And not the most Palatable thing to watch either. Nobody see 👀 me eating ha ha. My kitchen scissors with bone cuting jaws come in handy for cutting open and deheading
Can you recommend a good filleting knife.
