Now, here's a question. Would you prefer a crappie, sunfish, tilapia or walleye prepared the same way or if you had your choice would you still choose catfish? Fried or grilled. Where do bass rank in all of this???
For grease -- canola oil only, but sometimes olive oil.
For my grilling recipe, it works best with big dry fish. My three favorites are catfish, striper, and walleye. Small fish, like crappie and bluegill cook way too fast.
Large mouth bass from my pond are delicious, but for some reason they don't grill up as well as other fish. LMB from other waters frequently do not taste very good -- they taste like pine-sol. Big ones from the pond usually get broiled. Sorry -- but the small ones get fried.
