Title: Preparing Porgies?
Post by: wb on September 21, 2009, 03:19:21 PM

I have gutted, scaled, and pan fried them and they are okay, but almost not worth it in my opinion. We played C & R with them yesterday.

With this "in-between" season and the porgies hitting just about anything on a hook, does anyone have any other tips or recipes for them as table fare? I just might keep a few if they show on my next weakie scouting trip....

i fillet them, then put them in a frying pan with a little butter and some italian dressing. simmer covered for about 20 -25 minutes.
or i bread the hell out of them with old bay in the bread crumbs, fry them up in oil, 2 slices of bread, a little tartar sauce, slice of cheese and have a sangggggwich!
