I actually tried cooking them this year and can honestly say they turned out good! They are very bony so what I did was cut the fillets off of them first. Instead of scoring them I cut them into a bunch of small chunks and put them through a meat grinder like i would making hamburger for deer. Then i mixed in seasoning, rolled the meat up in little balls (meatball size),then rolled them in bread crumbs and finally deep fried them. Kind of a lot of work but better then wasting the fish throwing them in the ditch.
