Got out earlier this week in hopes of catching a few walleye, ended up settling for a few decent sized pumpkinseed instead. Sometimes it just doesn’t pan out with your target species but there’s nothing wrong with a mess of panfish as table fare! Tried for a few more but the small perch were hard to keep off the line.

Here is my take on blackened (sun)fish tacos. The fillets were dipped in melted butter and dusted with a 50/50 mix of Aleppo pepper powder and old bay seasoning. Seared on a hot cast iron pan to achieve that signature "blackened" crust. Topped with a mango/avocado salsa:

They’re a great tasting fish, it’s just a matter of getting into a couple that are large enough to make it worth your while. I know some people tend to cut the rib section right out but on the larger sunfish, there’s good belly meat to be had! I’m sure this would work well for bluegill and crappie as well.
