70 Fish and Game Warden. [Bull. No. 1. 



GOOD TABLE FISH. 



Though small, the sunfishes are considered good table fish. 

 When dressed, the bones forming the shoulder girdle should 

 be removed by cutting them lose from the body and removing 

 them with the head. All the fins and attached bones should 

 be removed by cutting on each side of them with a sharp 

 knife and pulling them out, leaving only the back bone and 

 a few ribs in the body of the fish. When fried to a rich 

 brown in good clean butter and bacon fat, they have a flavor 

 that places them among the very best of food fishes, only a 

 little inferior, if inferior at all, to the mountain trout.
