    I am from Alabama my father and I would enjoy catching bass for the tuggle war and throw them back for another day. But agree with you crappie and bream stayed in the boat. Crappie is excellent, but nothing compares to the sweet meat of bream. Mother alway used your recipe being a Louisiana woman. Nothing compares ! Thank you for teaching others what Southern Delights are all about!

    First time I've come across one of your videos. I have to tell you, I did triple-take when I saw you in the kitchen. You are a dead ringer for my last manfriend. You could be twins, I swear. I enjoyed the video because I live on a lake where I can catch these fish all day long. I enjoy seeing how others clean and cook them. I feel most any fish caught and eaten the same day is the way to go. Otherwise, I make chowder. To freeze, I put water in the bag with the fish. They don't get frost-bitten that way.
    Nice video, Sir!

    Great video! I grew up in the country and our neighbor about a mile down the road lived an old man who had grown up in the community and had always fished in our pond long before we owned it. After my parents bought the place in the 80's, he continued to fish there just like he always had. I remember my dad saying that he had more right to those fish than we did. The old man would sometimes invite us over to eat fish and this is exactly how he would fry them up. As a kid, I didn't appreciate the bones much but now it's a great memory. RIP Mr. A.J. Harris -East Caney TX

    This is classic...salt, pepper, and cornmeal. I might have added some Old Bay to the cornmeal. It doesn't matter, it don't get more basic or delicious than this. This is the fish my Grandpa made, and I remember the dozen or so relatives that spent the whole weekend at his house loving it. Big huge pot of beans, a ton of cornbread, maybe some fried rabbit, all kinds of fish fried in this manner, big, huge skillet of fried potatoes, and whatever was ready from the garden. All the kids sleeping on the living room floor. Lighting farts in our underware in the dark and laughing so hard it hurt ...had to throw that in lol

I showed the guy beside me. It was the biggest Bream I ever saw and I cught huge ones on the St. Johns River in FL. I was trying to decide what to do with it when it flipped out of my hand back into the water.

    Love your videos Mr Steve, next time you catch, clean, and cook bream try and skin them like you would a catfish and then butterfly them down each side of the bone. This way you get batter on all sides of the meat, but leave them intact at the rib cage on both side's
