I'm not exaggerating or being dramatic when I say that Bluegill cooked whole just might be the most magnificent OVERLOOKED delicacies of all foods. Of course it's not overlooked by folks like Steve and so many people I know. In fact I was shocked to find out when I got older that the whole world didn't know about this incredible fish. I love many types of fish - freshwater, saltwater - but bluegill caught from good water, properly prepared and cooked is as good as anything I've ever eaten. Thank you Steve for reminding us!!!

Great video! Bluegill fishing is my favorite kind of fishing! Here's a short story for you on how my Mom turned me on to Bluegill/Bream fishing: When I was 8 years old, my Mom introduced me to fishing. We went to the little farm pond along the road. We dug up some worms from under a big tree near the pond, and Mom cut down a couple of cane poles. She showed me how to attach the line and roll it around the cane pole; how to put an old cork on the line use as a float, pinch a little BB sized sinker to the line, and tie on a little hook (the hook, line, and sinker were all bought at the local hardware store as this was before the days of the "big box stores"). Then she showed me how to attach the worm onto the hook, and how to softly and smoothly swing the line out to the water, so as not to scare the fish. Later, being the farm girl that she was, she showed me how to clean the bluegill. That day, she introduced me to a past time that I still enjoy today at the age of 72. She gave me a lifetime of precious memories like that!

Sir, you brought me back to my childhood growing up. I remember catching 10 to 20 bluegills then bringing them home to clean. LOL scales popping everywhere! I did learn something new with the scoring. Never knew that I'll try it next time I clean some fish. I sometimes use a knife but my main go-to for scaling fish is a fork. Also one other tip. If you don't want the scales popping all over the place. Scale the fish while they are underwater. All the scales will stay in the pot then you can just pour it out without having to sweep up scales from all over. I cleaned fish in front of wife for the first time ever (she was grossed out) I told her this is how I grew up. Thanks for the tips and bringing me back down memory lane.

Mom, my Aunt & gramma would fry the up, no bones and we had a feast. My Dad never wasted any meat. We got all of it off the backbone with skin on, no scales. Hmmmmm good.

We make em all the ways you did, then always critique how the fish tastes. Fillets are just eat as fast as you can. The whole bone in scaled, scored and breaded takes a bit more time but you are rewarded by the taste! We do use peanut oil but it's all good! Crappie, Catfish, Northern Pike, Blue Gill, small Drum, are what we eat! All Bass go back. Thanks for a blast from the past!!!! Crappie are #1, everything else is tied for #2.....

As far as throwing the bass back in, I really like small mouth bass and keep those but large mouth bass have a soft texture to them that I don’t care for so back they go. I prefer a firm white meat when it comes to fish and the smallies have that covered and they are a hard fighting fish, so fun to catch! Take your kids or grandkids out and show them how to do it, It’s so much fun!

He was the greatest at this! I miss his shows. I'm 74 and I didn't start filleting bluegills until a few years back when my wife said she preferred them that way. And I found out she was right, they are better tasting filleted. Bluegills just have a stronger taste when fried with the bones and skin. Filleted skinless, rolled in pancake flour (salt and pepper) and pan fried they're amazing. Almost as good as filleted yellow perch.

The next day he would wake my cousin and I up with a couple of spoons to help him scale and fillet (we hated that part) lol. Much simpler times. I really miss it, and it's nice to read the similar stories you all have posted.

Never heard of using a spoon or a knife to scale. Since then I only use my Bear Paw electric scaler.

Scale them, and cut the heads off and fry them whole, in Crisco. My popa would actually chew the little bones! I have one tip, we would scale them underwater in a bucket, to prevent those scales from flying all over the place. My popa would say the tip of the tails tasted like potato chips!

I remember my dad had old school pop bottle caps screwed to a piece of wood handle that worked great. My memories of the fish camp down on the wapsi were one of the best memories of my past. I've scaled a ton of crappie and blue gill.

Growing up we always used a regular table fork to scale...sometimes if you were not poor you would use one of those fancy galvanized scaling tools 😉...I’ve still got my Rapala fillet knife I got as a BD gift in the 1960s (leather sheath sill looks good thank you Sno Seal) 🤗

I watched your video today and it brought me back to my childhood, cleaning (we called it) the fish with a spoon. We were too young to use a knife, but we would scale them and my father or grandmother would take the insides out. We looked forward to Fridays because we always had fish, whether bough or caught, with fries and a cold drink (I grew up in the south and man it didn't get any better than that). Thank you for a really great video and childhood reminder!!!

Love the Lodge iron skillet. Bet it was fun reeling those in. Thanks for the tips. I've cooked them all three ways. I wanted to add that I have seen a guy using a pressure washer to take the scales off. Lightly nailed at the tail to a flat board to keep still. Take care of yourself!

Back in Louisiana, learned to scale with a spoon from my Daddy... Yep my Daddy back in the sixties...long before man even went around the moon. Never cut myself, Dad showed me one time..."there son".. and been scaling ever since. Blue gill, scale them, good flavor. Dad passed in 97 and mom ten years later... we ate lots of fish, fish we caught, and most of the time... fish others caught and too lazy to scale and clean them. My dad would say: "son, get those fish" ...they dropped them off, I scaled and cleaned and mom fried them. Miss them and the simplicity of the times.

@@CookingwithShotgunRed It was a pleasure Mr. Red... I grew up on God's blessed door step a half mile down the road from Black Lake Bayou, Bienville Parish Louisiana. We never realized how good we had it! But I would go back in a time machine today, and kiss Jesus' blessed feet for one more day listening to my mom chit chat as she cooked and fussed at us, and later she would say...ya'll come its supper time. Supper time Mr. Red... if only America's families knew what it truly means. My father often prayed: "Lord Jesus thank you for the bounty of this table, Amen".
