[QUOTE="Paddledogger, post: 168450, member: 2876"] I agree! Though I have found a bit some older paddlefish that made its way down to the bottom of my freezer. When it is fresh and fry it, we cut it up into bite size pieces or nuggets. Then we just use dry piece breading. Shorelunch works well, as it has a bit of salt. But Uncle Bucks breading also works well. A guy could probably soak it in some salt water first to get some of the oil out of the meat. Some people soak it then put it on foil on the grill and cook in butter and/or lemon juice and some seasoning. I have never tried it that way...but I have heard it's good. Anyways...I guess we will just have to stay tuned to see what it decided as far as providing a place for anglers to clean and dispose. Without having the free fish cleaning service.....I suspect that there might not be as many anglers. I suspect that some people would be stupid enough to take their fish to get their picture, weighed and jawbone removed. Then go and dump the fish in the grass someplace. I'm sure there is some concern for this, so I would expect a few more Wardens will be assigned up there. I do not blame North Star Caviar, as some have on this post. Yes, the timing of the news seems a bit odd, 2 weeks before the season. But they have done some good charitable work for the Williston area, from what I have read and heard from people I know up there. I truly hope that NDGF help and offer some sound advice. And if someone is allowed to charge a fee, it is realistic and some proceeds support the area. A Warden several years ago said that they say about 10% of the anglers clean their own fish that they use in the count. I believe that is a bit high, but that is my opinion. But maybe North Star Caviar can provide some photos and material how to clean Spoonbills. I guess all we can do it just stay tuned! [/QUOTE]
