Also good eggs on these two hens, they are chalk full,
would you mind sharing more details on the location and gear?
Thanks

11/15/2013 2:56:00 AMnice catch! i had chum this week and today was my best meal. tried breading and baking. recipe was dip in milk, then flour, then milk and end with the breading on both sides. you can spice up the breading however you like. bake at 450F uncovered for about 10 minutes.

11/18/2013 11:11:00 AMBottom 2 fish look beautiful...top 2 are questionable based on outside appearance. One trick that was taught to me is to look at their belly. If the belly is white, you have a much better chance of the meat being nice and bright.
