Thread: crappie/bluegill jerky?

Hi all. Was wondering if anyone has made jerky from crappie or bluegill fillets. Any tips or advice welcome.

just sounds nasty...well cant say much though, i thought a fish taco would be nasty also,, guess what there great lol. but jerky i just dont know

ive never even heard of fish jerky...

... if it turns out anything like the sun dried squid I ate in Korea .... you can HAVE IT

I was there in 69-70 ... and I'd probably still be chewing on it, today, if I'd have kept on trying to eat it
Probably would have made a good tire, had it been big enough ... but, it probably wouldn't have given you a very smooth ride :D

It's good just soak it in you're favorite marinade dehydrate it and put it in zip lock bag and take fishing with you wallaa!!!

This has been covered in the past Never eat undercooked or raw feshwater fish as you are in danger of getting some bad worms!

sushi lol

I saw a recipe in Field & Stream a couple of years ago. I saved it but haven't tried it yet. If I can find it I'll post it for you & you can let me know how it is.

Yup. Good stuff.
Similar to smoked herring, only not as fishy or oily.
We usually use 'less palatable' fish for jerky...bass work good.
The gills & craps usually don't make it past the fryer.

i tried the recipie hawkman is refering too. i didnt use crappie, i used trout and catfish. Turned out great if you ask me.
