Do you eat them? If so, how do you cook them? I still have yet to find a recipe that I like.
still got all the fillets to try, haven't tried any yet, ready to get a couple southerns to tryHeres what we have cam up with.
When you boat a cownose, wing it immediately and throw the wings in a cooler with ice. If you hadnt done this then it might be why you dont like cownose. That ammonia smell that is in the fish barrel at the end of the day? (if you shoot many of them you know what i mean) That chemical leaches right out through the meat and skin after the fish dies.
When you get back, fillet the meat off the wing and let em soak in water(never tried milk but will next time) to leach the blood out.
Next cut the fillets into nuggets and put them in a bowl or bag and marinate in Texas Pete hotsauce for about 45min. Then just bread n deep fry.
The Texas Pete takes the fishy flavor out that a lot of folks dont care for. It doesnt make it hot at all.
