Description
5 pounds of headless, scaled, frozen skin-on sunfish/bluegill fillets
Small/Medium sized skin-on fillets in 1 pound vacuum-packs 15-20 fillets each.
Bluegills go by many names depending on the area of the country--Sunfish, Brim, Bream, Pumpkinseed, Coppernose, call them what you want and order the wild caught frozen fillets here.
Because these are smaller fish the size of the fillets can vary with the season. (It depends what we catch--sometimes bigger fillets, sometimes a bunch of little ones). However, good news you don't have to scale them as we did the dirty work.
Package
You will receive a box of 5 vacuum packs (about 1 pound each) in a cardboard box with enough dry ice to arrive frozen.
How it tastes
Expect a firm, mild, slightly sweet flavor.
Ways to cook
Grilling or pan-frying it is a great option to bring out its natural flavors. Baking bluegill with herbs and lemon slices is also a popular choice, providing a light and fresh taste.
