harvested 15 fish on sunday, 13 tilapia and 2 yellow perch (that got stuck in the net) i used 2 nets instead of the crowding net this time, it was a little bit easier, but still a pita..
i scaled, gutted, removed heads and fins, put 4 bags in the new (used) freezer, and set 3 bags aside for family..
baked 2 stuffed with dill and basil (from the aquaponic system) a pat of butter and a wedge of lemon.. a little salt and pepper, it was perfect in about 35 minutes at 375
the tilapia has to be the most "mild" fish i've ever eaten.. takes on whatever flavors you use very nicely..
i still prefer yellow perch, because to me,, they're a bit "sweeter"..
i have a lot of work to do before i finish harvesting and re-stock, but now that i have a freezer, i have somewhere to put the fish.. i think i'm officially at my goal of 1 meal of fish a week for me and the wife, from the basement
the camera was dead so no pics this time..
