How To Keep Fish After The Catch And Before Keeping In Ice/Water Slurr

[Leland19]

Been reading how to keep fish after the catch if you plan to keep and eat. A lot of sites say that by bleeding out your fish it will taste better and have a better texture, but some say that killing the fish by a IKY method (basically severing the spine/brain) and allowing the blood to remain in the body is better. Or dependent of the type of fish. Was wondering what you guys recommend for Bass and Trout as they are the main species of fish I fish for food.

Thanks!

.....I think you got the wrong type of fish forum!!

Definitely think you have the wrong forum!!! The people on here mostly shudder at the thought of killing and eating fish - we have them as pets! not main courses! Our love is geared toward their personalities, habits, and antics - not their TASTE!

Yeah this is a forum for fish keepers not fish eaters. Well some of us do like to eat fish. But we don't talk about that.
