Been catching a bunch of hand sized bluegill, but have never eaten them. Are they worth messing with or keep turning them loose? ![[Linked Image]](https://www.24hourcampfire.com/ubbthreads/gallery/80/medium/99541.jpg)

Scale, remove head, gut. Oil then flour both sides. Pan fry in oil.

I love pearch, and gills. We used to go too Canada for a week in the spring. The limit was 100 a day!

Gut/clean/scale. Remove head. Oil then flour both sides. Pan fry in oil. They are as good as they come for fried fish, but you might find a light coating of Aunt Jemimah white corn meal is better than flour.

Denny No limit on bluegill and crappie here. I could've filled a five-gallon bucket with bluegill this morning.

you guys must have different blue gills than i have eaten. the ones i had were bony and the little bit of meat you got off of one was bland. seems a shame to kill a fish for what little you get off of them.
that said, i ain't a big fish eater. i like thick chunks of cod batter dipped and fried or some big old catty fillets with cornbread batter. anything else just don't float my boat.
