Over 40yrs ago, a gentleman I knew did the same thing with Bluegills & other panfish. No "brim" was too small for him. He'd just scale'em and clean'em (remove head/innards/fins) and run them thru a meat grinder (didn't have "food processors" back then). Then he'd use the meat for "croquets" !! It must have ground all the bones down pretty good ... he was well into his 60's or more, and never complained about the bones. ...... cp
