Yes, we do eat bullheads. Absolutely delicious. Small but filletable. And even though the meat is a bit dark when uncooked it turns nice and white when cooked.
The pics below show the uncooked and cooked fillets...and a BLT (bullhead, lettuce, tomato) poboy sammich made from the fillets. Good stuff.
I don't hit Utah Lake much under the ice. And this year it is likely to be pretty tough...with the drastic low water level. The harbors will all be too shallow for prime ice fishing and that is where most folks go on Utah Lake. Otherwise the fish roam around a lot under the ice and they are hard to find. Big lake.
