I’m 100% ignorant on this but I have two young boys 5 and 7 and we are having a blast catching panfish. I want to start eating them. I just want to make sure as sometimes to a total new person obvious stuff isn’t obvious. So you cook that whole thing like that… fairly easy to pull bones and skin off after it’s cooked ?
My neighbor went fishing this morning and she just gave me about eight Crappie fish scaled and cleaned. This video helped me make up my mind as to whether or not I would try to fillet or not. I’m thinking that I will just be frying as is. I appreciate you for your time. Thanks!
Kitchen shears work better than those AP paper cutting ones. Also can you get cheek meat and collars off of those bigger crappies or are they still too small?
Great way to clean crappie. I tried your technique yesterday and that how I will now clean my crappie! Thanks for sharing. JohnPeaches from Greenville Mississippi
Take the cap off Corona bottle and run a dry wall screw thru it into your wooden handle of choice. Will peel scales of with a quickness. I get the head meat too. I just chop around the faceplate to keep head meat. And I snip out gills with hardware snips. Thanks for video.
You are right people are so wasteful I would imagine the skin is nutritious I like it this is the first time I've ever made a comment in my life good job
I heard you say southwest Oklahoma. What part? I can think of a few lakes in SW Oklahoma close to Lawton. Elmer Thomas, Lawtonka, Ellsworth, Duncan, Waurika, Tom Steed. Fish crappie on any of those?
Amen…. I only keep my catch if I want fish for supper. Be a lot more fresh fish if people exercised this mentality. We eat them whole by hand. The crappie is an extremely boney but delicious fish. You lose very little meat and have no bones if you fillet.
@@ronniehenson4122 My conversation with the people I know that eat them whole is they NEVER LEAVE IT like Tom & Jerry bare unless they know someone is watching them which brings me to say I eat more of the fish when I filet it than they waste having it cooked whole. You can't find a video of it. 🤣 You see them Cook Whole Crappie take a bite or too but never show what they don't eat. 😁😆😄 You had some SLABS that day though.. Gawt-Ta-Mighty..
@@UnLikeU When I get done eating the crappie there is nothing left but a clean skeleton left on the plate. I also love fillet crappie, the only way my wife likes it. It's all good! Thanks for the comment and watching the video. Tight line and remember hook & cook :)
@@ronniehenson4122 Absolutely. Zero knock against you. I was just talking to somebody last week and we searched "Eating Whole Crappie" & couldn't find 1 video of a person eating a whole Crappie.. Enjoy them anyway you can. Safety to you. 👍
Too many people waste too much meat. I love your technique.
Thank you!
Yup, that's how I like my fish. People don't like picking through bones but that's how my Daddy ate fish so it's good enough for me.
This video helped me eat whole fried crappie for the first time in my life. Thank you sir.
YOU THE 1ST ONE I'VE SEEN WHO CLEAN FISH THE WAY I DO👍🏾👍🏾
Awesome!
I CLEAN MINE THE SAME WAY. DON'T WASTE NI MEAT.@@ronniehenson4122

If you cut a small slit on each side of the dorsal fins you can pull it right out and the bones come out too. You can thank me later.
Thanks!

Glad to help
Well done 👏 them eggs fried are delicious 😋
Nice in simple to small to filet thanx from delaware to Oklahoma bless
You are welcome
That’s exactly how my dad used to do it! Then he would so give them another good rinse with salt water to scrub out the inside
That's a nice mess of fish. Been a long time since I had one. I grew up on fish from Oklahoma lakes. Thanks for the video.
Thanks for watching!
The old school way i respect it thats the way i clean Bluegill its good grilled with some garlic and lemon

First step corona is very helpful
Do you eat the bones? I’m just now learning how to fish and don’t know about the bones. Thank you.
No! don't eat the bones
That was how I was taught in the early 70s
Good lord I’m done eating and you done 1
LOL!
What about the bones still left in the filet?
Use a fork and just eat the meat, falls off the bone
Niceee
I leave the head on but good video
Great. Do you have a video of you completely eating one that you fried whole?
No, sorry

@@UnLikeU Oh! I didn't take it as a knock and you're right no videos on cooking and eating it like that. I will get one posted soon
Do the fins not fry up well compared to the tail?
Nope
Hey Ron, what's your go to crappie bait
I make my own crappie jigs using bucktail hair 1/32 & 1/16 ozs jigs light weight 7' pole with no more than 4lb test line (high vise) Killer set up!
Have any extra jigs for sale
@@Gokywildcats11 Sorry I don't
He definitely got some crappie scales in that corona 😂
LOL! Not the first time :)
That’s the way you do it Idabel Oklahoma we do it right
Do you eat the skin?
No sir, the meat comes off real easy with a fork........ :)
How do you kill before the corona drinking step?
1 question wh where's the manual filet knife come in ? Other than that good video
Do you a video of you cooking this
Not yet, will soon
You're missing a lot of meet up by the head area like half of the fish
I could have cooked and cleaned my crappy by the time you get done with one
If you leave the top and lower fins on until the fish is cooked, they are easily removed and you have no bones when you eat the fish.
That’s good to know.Thanks.
Why don't you let them spawn first
Do you bluegill same
Yes sir!
The only real way to clean crappie twice the meat
Man, he gave that thing a bath three times.
If you ever cleaned a fish then you know they get really slimy throughout the cleaning process that's why............ :) Thanks for watching
@@ronniehenson4122 I was just being silly. I enjoyed the video, thanks.
I started with the corona and that's also where i ended.
LOL!
I didn't know you could eat the skin.
LOL! you don't the skin peels off when cooked
@@ronniehenson4122 Ohhh
@@ronniehenson4122 then how does the batter stick to the fish?
@@jamestipping5126 Cold water dip then drop them in a bag of yellow cornmeal with salt and pepper shake and drop into the hot oil.........
That is the worst way I seen in 68 years
Honestly tho
LOL!
You doing too much
Always do! ;)
Wasting time you don't have to scale the fish
If you plan on cooking them in cornmeal you do. I only filet walleye and catfish.
@@ronniehenson4122 so do you eat it whole like that bones and all or do you eat around the bones?
