Nice to know I'm not the only one who doesn't filet the belly. My dad and uncle won't let me clean fish with them because of this. In my opinion, it's not enough meat usually and is just saturated oil after being cooked.

I usually just let them go until a *real* fish bites!!!

 

Good eats, Royce.

I just hack it off on gills and crappies. Dont want the grandkids getting those little bones. I leave it on if smoking.

The "belly meat" that people refer to is just fat.

Maybe I'll use that the next time my wife says I'm getting fat.  "No, honey, it's just belly meat."

It's not fat "Honey" it's my Energy Pouch
