Do you love big bluegill?
Any Good Bluegill Recipes?
Unfourtenetly not getting a whole lot of fishing in right now so Im doing my normal winter fishing stuff, gathering new information, new lures, new ideas, and new recipes for my favorite fish!
In my opinion bluegill are the best eating fish out there and I know almost all of you on here would agree.
My favorite ways to cook bluegill are beer battered and your basic cornmeal and flour combo.
Do any of you guys have any unique recipes or any that are just really really good? besides beer battered or the cornmeal and flour. Always wanting to try new recipes. Any info would be great!
Tight lines everyone!
Thanks

Most of the bluegills I catch don't much care for fancy recipes. They are plenty happy with worms, grubs, maggots etc.

the last batch I cooked I use a seasoning from Weber called zesty lemon , I placed the fillets on a cookie sheet sprayed with nonstick and put a nice coat of this seasoning on them and baked at 350 till they was done , WOW did they taste great
