Hi all,

Got put onto this by Lord Blackbilly - and its a winner.

Just tried it tonight - taking small redfin, scaling them, head off and frying them whole, then eating off the bone.

Comes up a treat - probably better than fillets IMO. I cooked half a dozen fish around 20-25cm.



Give away the big ones and eat the bubs I reckon

So instead of throwing away the small ones, give it a crack next time.

The smaller ones are also good prepared the same way then wrapped in alfoil with some butter / oil and your choice of seasoning, BBQ campfire or oven, all work well.

About a 9 out of 10...........

I was given this by a hungarian friend of mine, dusted in flour with paprika, gives it a sweet smokey peppery aftertaste

Thanks for sharing the other day when I was down your way. Total killer I reckon - I just did them with S+P and lemon. Paprika next time.

Not like small reddies are in any great shortage either. With a knife they are scaleable, not the easiest fish to do but it works, made a hell of a mess.

I do the same TonyB but mine go back without gills :)the larger ones are more CF&R (catch fillet & release).

An easy way to skin a reddie is to hang them until the skin dries out then just peel the shin back as your running a sharp knife between skin and flesh.

cheers wes
