Western Fish Cleaning

She has my vote. She and her late husband cleaned many of my fish and smoked them and they were great. I am still bummed about George. I remember when he went in for those test. What a bummer.

I tried smoked sheephead once. I didn't think that it was too bad honestly

I don't know how the guy did it up or anything though.

Any fish smoked is probably good though.

Actually, sheephead dosen't taste too bad. I have cooked some over a campfire onetime. However, it's taste will vary, depending on how hungry you are, or how much you had to drink!!! T.C.

Smoked sheephead is quite good. Check it out at Cheesehaven. The fish overall isn't that bad but compared to eyes and perch, it pales in comparison. It takes a good cleaning to make it table fare.

Where is Cutchers located? Does she work out of her home, I was thinking about headin up this Friday afternoon, hopefully get on some eyes.

we caught so many friday I kept one and put it in the fryer after all the walleye had been cooked. and it was not bad maybe the walleye flavored the oil ? going to try smoking some maybe we can lower there numbers a little . any one know any smoking technique that will work ? or recipes for cooking them.

Best way I've heard for sheephead is to smoke it over an open flame. Use baking string and secure the fillets to a 2x4. Butter, garlic salt and pepper and little olive oil. Continue to turn for roughly 10-15 minutes high over the open flame.

Remove from the fire, discard the fillets and eat the 2x4.

Gotta love them eye's.

foil packs we call em. take your foil big enough to seal eyes in foil put butter down slice onions lay them down put walleye filets down more onion slices garlic powder, old bay seasoning, lemon pepper seasoning and lay bacon strips on top seal foil around it all you want a very tight seal so it steams it and the foil pack puffs up about 15 minutes on medium grill make sure not to get a hole in foil till right before serving to let juice and bacon drippings out this great with fresh eyes
