What dirty said. Have fixed them smoked and fried. When I read about farmed salmon and what they are fed and the majority of seafood in the grocery comes from China and Vietnam I have no problem eating great lakes fish.

I have smoked them and they are good to me. I also like to cut them up into nuggets and deep fry them.

Back when we used to keep a couple. I'd bring them home and put them under my tomato plants. Man they grow like crazy. LOL. I tried to smoke them once but I had so much geese inside my smoker I have done any since. We don't fish for them in years now but we do catch them from time to time. We release them now a days. For people that only fish once or twice a year they are great fun and for some the biggest fish they have ever caught. So you all can have them. Just my thoughts.

The catfish of Lake Michigan cut in small pieces and deep fry! Good in a fish basket on the grill marinade in zesty Italian dressing before grillin

Chunk them up and do a boil with them. Redskins, onions, corn on the cob, shrimp, garlic. Throw it all together with a good crab boil seasoning. Cooks the grease right out of them. Good stuff.
