    Did you take pictures of how far you took the cook? I'm interested in the flake and removing bones after cooking. I do Redfish till it flakes apart on it's own a bit.

    I didn't take any more photos. The rib bones came out with a fork. I used the side of the fork to roll the whole rib cage out. They fillets were pretty flaky. Sprinkled on a little Tony's Creole seasoning and then brushed on a little clarified butter to keep them moist

    I believe they would be awesome made into tuna salad. May have to try that next time

    One of the reasons I cook the Redfish so long and slow is so it remains palatable after refrigeration. The Crappie I caught on The Rez were large enough to cook on the grill. We are going back, why I'm asking. Thanks

    I probably should have let is get more done before I put the butter on them. I believe it sealed in the moisture causing it to steam

    As far as water goes Crappie have so much water I dry age most fillets in my blast chiller for 5 days. Water keeps coming out of the fillets for me to drain off. After the aging the flesh gets firmer and sweeter. Don't know if I would dry age "Skin On" due to the extra biology remaining on the outer scales. Thank you for answering my question.
