Eating Ghost Minnows and other bait fish.

[swampratt]

I have eaten raw minnows and goldfish but never cooked them.
I seen some advertisement on sardines and thought about a couple years ago at Eufaula lake coming in at night from fishing and the millions of these minnows jumping around the boat for over a mile of travel.

HHHMMM lets see what Google shows up.
Found this


Then seen this on the larger bait fish.


Next time I am surrounded by millions of these tough minnows I will try some fried.

Whats the difference in dillis (dried anchovies?) And regular old minnows

You know if that babe shows up with fried grubs you are eating it

Don't even need to bread them. Just fry or dry and salt. They turn into dust once you start chewing them.

A scientific name for that dillis. Stolephorus commersonnii.
I believe those are mostly salt water and will go into brackish waters.

Either way a long skinny small fish that will fry just the same.

A lot of cultures around the world eat small fish, or what is called minnows. Most ferment them into a dipping sauce of sorts.
We have eaten sardines and such in the US for many years which is a good bait fish for catching other fish.
Anchovies on our pizza and a key ingredient in lots of our foods and sauces as a substitute for salt.
Head Country BBQ sauce used it as well as Worcestershire sauce.
I wouldn't have an issue eating deep fried minnows.

If she just shows up I'm eating it.

I would certainly let her swallow my minnows
