My Grandma had a way of eating the bony section and a few of my family members learned how and definitely prefer it over ribs. When we knock a filet off we use our fingers to tear the ribs from the bony along the natural line. Cut the ribs 2 per. The bony part we never cut, it’s tore into strips so not to cut a bone and it’s fried with bones in like regular fish. Then there’s a trick, you can bend the fish and all the bones will pop up on end and you can pull them all out easily. It takes a couple times to get the hang of it but it definitely works and you don’t have any waste at all. This is definitely a good alternative to how I’ve seen. Buffalo is one of the best tasting fresh water fish for sure
Thanks for sharing how to debone buffalo. Most people waste the best parts. I am trying to get some things settled so I can see about getting with you soon.
Bradley: you did it again - now I'm starving for a fish fry. Never tried using the sour cream before but, I will next time - I've usually used buttermilk in the past. I got some buffalo tenderloins and shrimp ready to go - they will be history tomorrow night. Thanks for sharing! Roy
Been a long time since I've cut out the boneless sections of a buffalo, and it is very good. You mentioned pressure cooking then making patties. Mom canned dozens of quarts of buffalo and we had a lot of patties, but she also balled it up, coated it, cooked like hushpuppies. Mentioned trap bait, ever use it for cat bait? We'd take inch cubes and make sour carp. Water, old milk in a jar, let sour, seemed as though those cats would swim a mile upriver to find the source of that stank. Looks like you've changed my plans for today. Was going to put a new spot on one of the boats, some work on the mower, but now it's to take a boat out and get a couple of channels or flats for me and some neighbors dinner.
Go get em. Back when I run a lot of trot lines I used to use mostly live bait. However, I'd love to try Buffalo in one of our videos, so thanks for the idea!! You guys help a lot keeping us going
Here is a brine that I have used on other fish. Make a gallon of brine. 1/2 gal. Of water 1 cup of canning salt 1-1/2 cups of brown sugar 1/4 cup of Worcestershire sauce 1 Tablespoon of black pepper 3 to 4 cloves of chopped garlic Combine all ingredients & bring to a boil. Boil for 5 min. Remove from heat and add enough ice to make a gallon. You want you brine to be cold before putting fish in. May have to place in fridge for a bit. Once cold, put fish in and make sure everything is submerged. (I use a plate or something to hold it down). Refrigerate for 24 hours. Lightly rinse fish and pat dry. Place on racks to air dry and then smoke. I use a fan to help dry the fish. When the fish is dry and tacky, the smoke will adhere to it better. Smoke at 180deg. Until international temperature is 140.
It's been a long time since I heard someone filling in Buffalo can't get no better eating you're definitely right and that's a dying thing a lot of people don't know about the Buffalo but that's one of the best fish there is to eat white white meat thank you for the video because that shows a lot of the younger generation about these Buffalo
All we have where I live in far Northern california on Oregon border are salmon & steelhead and sea run cutthroat trout. Would love to have buffalo or even carp so I could smoke and pickle them up.. Closest I have to go for good carp fishing is like over 600 miles to the snake River in far eastern Oregon on Idaho border . Most people don't understand what a fine fish both are and can be pressure canned with a light smoke kipper and make a superb product.
@@godscountryhuntingfishing1638 Looks like that movement would keep fish from going in them , but I guess it doesn't. A friend of mine and I were talking about fish the other day and what seems logical to us seems to be the opposite to them. Kinda like liberals 😆
About every hardware store in Louisiana has them. Propane gas companies too. I got no clue who would ship them. Takes 4 gallons oil and change oil bout every 6 months cooking about once a week
@shawnalloway9691 Florida? You might have to make a road trip to Cajun Country. I bet shipping costs would be extremely high. These units are heavy. If your ever through Louisiana, comment on a video or something and I'll let ya know where you can pick one up in one our local stores. You can also find us in by searching the group "Gods Country Hunting & Fishing Bragging Board" on FB. Sent send a join request!!
Many, many years ago, buffalo, hifin, drum, even carp. Were scaled, filleted, and then "scored". Cutting thru the flesh to the skin making cuts about 3/16 " from the top to the belly, Then cut up in squares. When deep fried the bones were not an issue.
My dad worked in a fish market his whole life. They ran all their carp and buffalo that were probably under 5 pounds through a scoring machine. When fried up all the bones were cooked up and easily eaten.very good!
You wouldn’t happen to know Heath Wood would ya? I was just talking to him about picking up some blood for me at deans in Farmerville. Said he went to school with you
We didn't go to school together, but he knows me and I know him. Several with same name in our area and one of the others must went to school with him. I did some Taxidermy for Heath years ago is how we actually met
That just might be as good of a “trash fish” video as ever put out on TH-cam. Why don’t you go out and try a catch clean and cook on some of those flying Asian carp. I’ve actually heard they have some good white meat on them from some out of state guys. Just never tried them myself yet. Should have plenty of meat on those big rascals to where you can get the choice cuts off of them and discard the rest.
We just getting started Buddy!!! Appreciate it. We usually catch some, but thank goodness they been scarce this year so far. If they rear their ugly head, you might just see that!!
Work of art!! Thanks for sharing your knowledge and keep your videos coming please.
No worries!!! We get busy and could miss a week in here or there, but we're trying to keep one a week on longs, and one short video each day

It's one of my favorites for sure. Thanks for all the input. I'm sure a lot of viewers will appreciate that comment

Yes sir!!
Like the videos and when you show how you clean fish.
Thanks, we will keep em coming!!
Great video and great information and tips. I never had Buffalo before, but I will try that recipe on my next fish fry. Thanks for sharing 👍🏽
Use that recipe on scale fish. Crappie or something. I've never done it in catfish so not sure on them
Never had Buffalo Fillets but I love Buffalo Ribs. Thanks for the tips and another awesome video
Thanks Robbie for all the feedback!!
Bradley: you did it again - now I'm starving for a fish fry. Never tried using the sour cream before but, I will next time - I've usually used buttermilk in the past. I got some buffalo tenderloins and shrimp ready to go - they will be history tomorrow night. Thanks for sharing! Roy
The recipe is smashing on Crappie fillets as well!!

Thanks again for another awesome video I really enjoyed it and as always I'm really looking forward to seeing the next video
Thanks Mike, Appreciate it
Have you ever brined and smoke buffalo before. I never but have heard it’s really good.
Thanks for sharing.
No I have not. I've heard same though
May try it in a future video
It’s great smoked
@thomaswalker842 what did you put on it before smoking?
Here is a brine that I have used on other fish.
Make a gallon of brine.
1/2 gal. Of water
1 cup of canning salt
1-1/2 cups of brown sugar
1/4 cup of Worcestershire sauce
1 Tablespoon of black pepper
3 to 4 cloves of chopped garlic
Combine all ingredients & bring to a boil. Boil for 5 min. Remove from heat and add enough ice to make a gallon. You want you brine to be cold before putting fish in. May have to place in fridge for a bit.

Smoke at 180deg. Until international temperature is 140.
@barryrankin587 I'ma have to try something like that. If it turns out, I'll do a video or something on it. Thanks for the idea!!
At the end of the video, Oakley peeking around the corner was hilarious ! She knows what tastes good.
Oakley thinks everything taste good🤣
Looks very good. Think I may try it. Thanks for sharing.
Better than perch😳
Good job on filleting the Buffalo. Will give it a go. Very unique using the sour cream. Need to try.
Probably won't be disappointed!!
Dang it!! Now I gotta learn how to catch buffalo. That looks great!
Lol, I know a guy!!
Thank you, Dat Louisiana life, for the introduction. Great Channel I'm all in Great videos.
Great people, Keith and Tara!! I got a feeling you'll be seeing us together in more videos!!
Grandpa never showed me how to clean buffalo, thanks for that. Now I just need to figure out choupique lol
Maybe next summer we do one of those!!
Awesome content and instruction, Bradley!
Thanks Brent, Much appreciated!!
I used to eat buffalo fish when I was a kid, I hated all the bones, I will try it your style, thanks for sharing.!
Thanks for watching, enjoy!!
Man, you are living the GOOD life.
Yes sir!!!

Thank you for watching and following our journey. Buffalo fish will always at some point be in our content because it's been a way of life!!

I've never eaten any type carp, but if we get one these Asian carp, we may try it in one of our videos!!
Great video. Good looking cap too.
Lol, knew you'd like the cap 🤣
Need to do a collaboration video with KFRED.
I'd love to do a Collab with KFRED. One of only a few channels I watch. Seams like an awesome, Humble guy
Yes. KFred has a great channel.
@joebowman8204 hard to watch KFRED and not like the show!!
Good video I learned a new way about debone Buffalo thank you sir 💯💯💯💯💯
Yes sir!! Thanks for watching
Thanks for the instruction on this. Very useful info !
No problem, thanks for watching!!
On your swing nets where you don't tie off the front , I wondering how the current doesn't make them spin and roll.
It does some, that's why we only use braid rope. The front is tied off with slack in line to a branch. Don't pull front tight
@@godscountryhuntingfishing1638 Looks like that movement would keep fish from going in them , but I guess it doesn't. A friend of mine and I were talking about fish the other day and what seems logical to us seems to be the opposite to them. Kinda like liberals 😆
Don't get me started on liberal ideology, lol. I understand fish, I don't liberals
@@godscountryhuntingfishing1638 You ought to take some liberal pickle brains fishing and film it. 😄
You sure know how to make a person hungry!
Probably cause I stay hungry too🤣🤣
I like that cooker you got. How often do you have to change the oil in it and where do you order it from.
About every hardware store in Louisiana has them. Propane gas companies too. I got no clue who would ship them. Takes 4 gallons oil and change oil bout every 6 months cooking about once a week
I'm on the beach here in PC and all our hardware stores are crab nets and popping corks.

@thomaswalker842 thanks for the idea!!
Man some good eating there. When it's fresh you can't beat it. Bones in for me or not you can't beat it💯💯💯💯💯💯👍🏾
Agreed. Definitely a best top 5 freshwater fish!!
Nice video. hello from Cambodia 🇰🇭🎉🎉
Thanks!!! God Bless
Ewe Whee😂
You done flung a craving on me.
Keep em coming.
Lol, I know y'all on em🤣
Those fish look tasty !
Better than bass for sure, lol!!! Thanks for watching
Will this work with Carp?
I'm not sure on that. I don't fillet or eat carp.
Awesome video man
Thanks, and thanks for watching!!
Grind the bony parts for coin trapping bait
There's an idea!! Thanks
We should collab
I'm down, Let's go!!
I was expecting the meat to be red like a carp but it looks like striped bass fillets
You eat buffalo, you'll never want a striped bass again. No comparison!!
I need to be on your winning team 🎉
It is a winning team!!! Lol
👍👍👍
Thanks!!
