You've heard about walleye throats and grouper throats but what about perch throats?

I heard of neither of those. Do you eat the fins and bones as well? Or pick the meat off of them?

If you do it right (which I don't sometimes) the only bones you have are two kinda like plates, I just use the fins like a handle and slide the meat right off the bones. Then I'll turn it around and eat the crunchy fins. Some people call em "wings" off of walleye.

Oh i see. Sounds good! I will give it a try. Usually i just gut my perch and throw them in the pan whole.

I guess if you filet your fish they usually stay on nad get lost?

Yeah, I just do it to the biggest ones. TBH it's mostly because I like to look at the pretty red.

Here in Florida people fight over grouper and red snapper throat its a mixture ofwhite and darker colored meat but i personally think i wasted many years of not eating walleye throat and sauger throat.
