[cool][#0000ff]Both TubeBabe and myself really like eating the bullheads. We fix them using the "Kitty Krispies" recipe and deep fry them just like the channel cats. [/#0000ff]
[#0000ff][/#0000ff]
[#0000ff]Because they are smaller, the fillets are thinner and cook up crisp without having to be sliced up. The flavor is similar to channel cats but has an extra "nutty" taste that many fish fanciers find quite appealing.[/#0000ff]

[#0000ff]Back in the days when Geneva Steel was "flavoring" the lake with their chemical soup, bullheads seemed to have a "strong" taste no matter where you caught them around the lake. When we moved back to Utah, almost 3 years ago, we decided to try some of those little guys and we were pleasantly surprised to find how sweet and mild they are. [/#0000ff]

[#0000ff]Some folks don't like to admit to dining on "mudders" but there are plenty of anglers who openly confess to eating and enjoying them. More than a few count them near the top for good taste. They are definitely way ahead of newly planted "hatchery pets" (rainbows). But, then again, fried pond scum would be better than those. Just guessing. Never tried it.[/#0000ff]
