Sliver bass

[Fishboss]

Good morning y'all, I'm wondering who on here keeps sliver bass? What is your opinion on the flavor? We ended up keeping 5 last Saturday including a big one, fried them up and they were really tasty.

I’ve had them before. Only problem is you get very little meat from them.

I agree there is not a ton of meat on them but still delicious

Try baking them in a caserole dish with some of your favorite topping on them. Onions, peppers, cheese, salsa, bread crumbs, or check you tube for a fish recipe to use. They are very tasty fish.

They are good when fresh but get a little fishy tasting when they have been frozen. I scaled a bunch and smoked them whole and they were pretty good that way as well.

I have eaten them and thought they were fine. However, I have been advised not to freeze them. I have no experience myself but been told by several guys who are commercial fishermen that they are mushy after freezing.

Thanks guys now I'm hungry lol that casserole sounds really good, I agree that is a fish ment to eat fresh, wouldn't freeze good by the feel of the flesh, not beats a fish fry the same day they are caught.

My amish customers keep them all!! They say they're good fresh but not frozen. Some said they put them in a bag with butter milk on ice overnight then bake them!!!
