Who eats them and how do you best like them prepared? One of my favorite carp holes is also home to some really big suckers and im curious if they are worth trying...

Fish patties are pretty good but to much work for me

Just got through eating some of them tonight. Filet them, score the filets every 1/8 inch or cut them up in small pieces and fry up like tater chips. very good fish if cooked right. We cook several hundred of them a year and they one of my favorites.

not if you cut the pieces into small pieces and fry them at 350 to 375 degrees.

making me hungry!!
here in the Ozarks we have a lot of clear spring fed rivers we gig them a lot in the winter the cold clear water is the key to what makes them so tasty!
in the summer they do get soft and not as good. nothing better than some river suckers hush puppies and fried taters on a gravel bar!!!

put them in a large bowl of boiling water with rocks on the bottom, lavarock is best, boil for 2 hours. drain water, strain fish and rocks, throw fish in the garbage and eat the rocks.
Lol in all seriousness id be willing to try it

This, or we scale them then fillet them then score them.
The most important part of cooking suckers is KEEP THE OIL HOT!!! put them in one at a time not a bunch in at once or it will cool the oil down and not cook the bones out.

Tony just got through eating another batch! We should have shot a few on the Open scouting missions and got together and fried some up. We will have to do that next year. We eat a lot of crappie, walleys and catfish and like the suckers as good as anything.
