I've heard a guy can do this, so I tried. I'd love to lie and tell you it was as tasty as walleye or catfish and that I won't be keeping anything but drum from now on, but it's just not true. Not bad - much like white bass - but not great. Now I can say I've done it. Fillets just like a white bass: take out the red lateral line and you've got white flaky meat. Again, not walleye or perch. My family agreed.
Who else has tried it? Next on the list: Snapping turtle!
