Bullhead Cleaning, Cooking and Eating

Glad to see some bandwidth spent on one of “those other fish”, the kings of spring, the Bullhead.
Check out these other MyFishFinder Bullhead Cleaning links and throw in a few thoughts of your own here for the rest of us to try:

How do you go about cleaning and preparing these critters for the pan? How about some recipes for cooking?
Thanks,

For one way to clean Bullhead, there are some instructions posted on the NY State DEC website.
Take a look at:

i skin them the same way i do with channel cats. a little harder to hang onto, but just as tasty or even moreso...once i get my filets, i simply roll the wet filets in cornmeal, and into the deepfryer they go...i use peanut oil.... much tastier and has a higher flash point so they go in and out quickly..soon as they pop to the top, they're ready...season with cajun spices or whatever your taste desires..grump

I finally was able to try my electric knife on them, and took Bigdave's idea about only eating behind the ribs. I angled the knife as far up the head as I could without hitting the ribs or hole, and cut to the back bone and in one motion turned the knife and went back almost to the tail and the flipped it over and cut the skin off. It took me about 20-30 seconds per fish doing it that way and it was my first time trying it, so it will only get faster!! I didn't waste much fish and was I did waste was almost yellow meat!!!

Reuben,
Sounds like you are on your way to having a new system. Have you hit the bullheads very well yet? I have not had a chance to get out, so my practicing will have to wait a little longer. :-\
