He is passionate about sharing his knowledge with beginners to experienced anglers.

Starting from that cut, measure back 1 inch and cut through the whole fish. One-inch thick is the recommended portion width—after pan-frying for seven minutes on each side over medium/high heat in a nicely oiled pan, it will be cooked to perfection!

QuestionI am going to a lake with my friends. The lake water could be a little dirty. How can I make sure the fish is completely clean?Community AnswerContact the state Game and Wildlife Resource Department. They will have any cautionary notices about fish consumption in the area. If it is a private lake, It depends on what you mean by "dirty". If it's a muddy lake, that should be of little concern. But if it a farm lake where the farmer uses a lot of fertilizers or a lake from rural home runoff, there could be raw sewage flowing into the lake. Don't eat anything caught from it.
