That made my day! Thanks Tandy! Blue star for you!
Possibly mangrove snapper?
if the scales are still on it then it's probably red fish. Grill it on the half shell with lemon, butter, and cajun spice.

Agreed. Looks like redfish to me.
What kind of fish can I fry other than catfish
Looks like redfish, gonna also go out on a limb and say the fish are from Louisiana?
I mean, you can fry just about whatever. People are just not going to suggest it for good quality eating fish.tandy miller said:

Frying generally is done with lesser cuts.
What about trout
"How dare you assume their gender."
How do you know it's a fish, for that matter?

I caught this on Monday, but the filets were pretty small, even for me
Trout and Redfish are both gamefish in Texas (more desirable fish).tandy miller said:

But yes, fried fish is fried fish. Just keep in mind that game fish will be a little drier as they don't have the dark meat of trash fish like catfish.
My dad still prefers to fry fish if he's making fish at home. That probably goes more to his redneck / east Texas roots than anything. He enjoys well prepared grilled fish out.

no.

Winter caught, black drum
That fish blows…
It's a bottom feeder known for greasy meat. That's why it's fried. While we live in the south, most of the country thinks we're idiots for eating such a disgusting creature. Yet we know just about anything is edible and often better fried. Well that and our ken that started eating it were looking for cheap food. Hince modern fair cuizine.Gunny456 said:

There's a reason it's generally not on the seafood restaurant specials blackboard next to and prepared in the same way has mahi mahi, sword fish, or Redfish on the halfshell.
When you click on a thread, but someone has already made the dikfer joke.
Another reason for deep frying fish and shellfish was to guarantee that you would kill any bacteria that could make you sick due to not being able to ice fish down.
tilapia?
I don't know about that. Got my degree in WFS from TAMU. Worked for two large catfish farms for a few years shipping catfish all over the US. Lots of restaurants sell it blackened, grilled or fried. Handled and prepared correctly it is not greasy.

I think so... maybe hardheads too!
If you want to fry trout, dredge it lightly in cornmeal and pan fry. Don't deep fry it
Looks like black drum to me

Not all catfish are bottom feeders. Channels yes. But blues and yellows primarily feed on other fish. Larger blues will often be caught in open water chasing shad with striper/hybrids. My relatives in the Florida keys fry just about everything they catch. Snapper, grouper, mahi, doesn't matter. Hell, they even fry whole lobster tails on occasion.
I don't think it's redfish. The fillets are too short for a redfish. A redfish fillet would be much longer, proportionally, than that fish.
It's a drum. Red or back.
I can get on board with that assessment.OnlyForNow said:

Do you know if it is from fresh or salt water?tandy miller said:

NO AMNESTY!
in order for democrats, liberals, progressives et al to continue their illogical belief systems they have to pretend not to know a lot of things; by pretending "not to know" there is no guilt, no actual connection to conscience. Denial of truth allows easier trespass.

Ain't you ever had fried crappie? Don't you dare tell me that's a lesser cut.AgLA06 said:I mean, you can fry just about whatever. People are just not going to suggest it for good quality eating fish.tandy miller said:
