    Try scaling, gutting, and deep frying them whole. The meat falls off the bone. You can season the oil with garlic too. It's super easy and no loss of meat. The little bones crisp up. Plus with a good dipping sauce, it's even better. Sprinkle a little seasoning on the inside once you separate it. Make sure you have a fryer with a basket that allows it to drain right after cooking. Enjoy!

      They are also called Rio Grand Perch in Texas. We catch them in the Comal river in New Braunfels, TX., beside Heidelberg Resort Lodges. The Comal river is crystal clear. If I recall, it's the only river that starts and ends within the city limits of a city. The river comes out of the ground springs then connects to the Guadalupe River which is also beautiful, but not near as clear and clean as it used to be. The Comal River record is 1.27 pounds caught on a worm, it was 10.5 inches long. The Comal species can be tan to green colored but still has the beautiful spots on them. I'm curious as to why they're considered invasive to LA if they are native to North America and a neighboring state? They are delicious!!

    My cousins turned me on to yellow bass up here in Nebraska. They are also considered an invasive species, are very aggressive and a blast to catch. With no limit, we filled a beer cooler one afternoon a few years back and then had a small fish fry. Very tasty little fish. They don’t get much bigger than say a medium sized rio grande cichlid, so the no limit was a bonus.

    I used to catch these Rio Grande Cichlids in the park in New Braunfels, Tx, as a kid.
    My godparents lived about three blocks from the city park. Whenever we went down to visit I'd spend a lot of time there fishing, catching musk turtles.
    There's several fish there that can't survive our colder water temperatures up here in central Texas. I brought a stringerfull back once and we had them for dinner.... at the time I found them somewhat "chewy" more like lobster texture than bluegill.
    But as a sixth grader my filet skills had yet to be developed so these were head, guts, and scales removed then into the frying pan. Now that I'm a decent cook myself, some fortysomethin' years later, I'm leaning towards perhaps that sample as having been a bit overdone? I'd like to take a road trip down to Austin, San Marcos, and New Braunfels and the surrounding area, including catching another bunch to filet and cook to perfection.

    Replace the Raman noodles with rice, chow mien noodles or a nice salad to mix the fish with.

    Those are pretty fish. I've watched your and Jay's videos for a couple of months, now and I've seen some Outside the Levees, which are a lot of fun to watch. What is a PB? Not sure of what you're saying, though.

      They were originally sold in pet shops as aquarium fish, then they grew too large.

      @@davidvento5481 I'm thinking most of the invasive fish were either brought and spread by people because they wanted to be able to have some of the food they had in their countries and/or got free from aquariums somehow, like David says, in the post above, and got too big. I think fish such as tilapia got free from the ponds they were raised in. Could the Rio Grande cichlids have migrated here from Mexico?
