I'll get to the point, does anybody eat these things? We always catch them and last Saturday we were catching them one after the other. I've always heard and seen there are too many of them and they need to be either eradicated or reduced drastically because they eat the crappie eggs. I've been throwing them back and go to thinking after sitting there freezing last weekend and only catching them that they might be good eating. I'll eat just about anything as long as it doesn't move too fast and if I've been throwing away good meat, I'll start keeping them.

I think they are much better filleted and skinned. They are a close kin to the Striper and can have a strong taste if cooled whole. I hear people say they are not big enough to fillet. We fillet perch that are smaller than the 8" size limit of a crappie(SC).
Sure it is a small piece, but it beats wasting the perch or throwing it back to spawn a million more.
A lot of folks also prefer them for catfish bait.

I eat a lot of fish, and i will tell you, they are far better then a crappie.
I do save a few bags full of smaller ones for bottom bait at the beach. Been known to catch seabass, snapper, and a grouper or 3 on them

We eat them, they do have a stronger taste the longer they have been in the freezer, fresh they are great. I filet and skin them. We enjoy them on the grill, place them in an aluminum pie pan, throw in some small pieces of bell peppers, little tomato and salt and pepper and lemon. May the Lord bless all your days whether you are fishing or not.

Eat them with my crappie fillets all the time. Can't tell the difference when you cook them together. Bounce them off the side of your boat if small.

Eat them all the time. I recently caught the largest white perch I've ever seen. It was just a little over 15". That girl was loaded with eggs. I use a lot of them catfishing too.

Eat the big ones and grow tomatoes with the small ones.

My wife and I will keep a few larger ones on occasion for something different to eat. They have a slightly stronger taste to me than do crappie, but they aren't bad.
