Bass last night

[RUGER]

I don't normally put anything on my bream other than a little ketchup on every few bites.
Had bass last night and while it's not bream it is good.
Discovered as soon as it's cool enough to eat and some tartar sauce on it makes it AWESOME!

Wife was happy I found another couple bags of bream so she got to eat fish too.

Hard to beat 12-15" bass and catfish filets. But yes, crappie and bream are the best there is. I like my bream filets with cocktail sauce. Love the coleslaw and onion additions

I eat cocktail sauce on all my fish, however bream requires less than everything else. They are the tastiest to me.

Don't leave out sauger. Taste almost identical to crappie

LM Bass is our favorite fish, bar none.

I beg to differ sir. Sauger have so much more flavor than crappie! I actually think the flavor of sauger is very similar to bluegill. Don't get me wrong, I love crappie and 95% of the time if I'm eating fish that's the species, but I'll take sauger or bluegill over crappie every time if given the choice.

Sauger is indeed the bomb.
I have only had it a couple times. Just not many around where I fish.

A guy on our Italian Fest team fishes up in the Great Lakes every year, and he swears it's the best freshwater fish. He brought some to one of the team dinners last year, and we pan sautéed some in butter. I can't say one way or another since I've never had it side-by-side with anything else, but I didn't have a life changing experience eating walleye. It was just as good as any bass, bream, or crappie I've eaten before. And I'm not talking it down. It was definitely good.

well they are classified as sunfish, same as bluegill.
