I've got to see if I can find some recipes for dace.The local streams are loaded with them!
By dace, do you happen to mean fallfish? (We call them 'chubs' up my way.)
Back in the day, when my buddy and I caught fallfish to 16" in the CT, I used to fillet them and use them for cut bait from the beach in RI. They worked about as well as bunker but without the stink.By the way, dace are the 1" minnow with the stripe down the side we used to catch in small stream.
Micro fishermen!!!
