I had to clean and eventually confiscate that toaster.

It's not even up in the wheelhouse anymore- we had to get if off the boat completely lmao. Just microwave now- and we have enough trouble getting people to not nuke sandwiches in aluminum foil.

Deep south method. Gut, scale, halve, season, dust, then pan fry hard till you can almost eat the bones.

Too bad. It was nice to be able to toast a roll or a bagel but not so nice with scales and porgy juice on it.

Can still majorly F**k up the microwave and get a lecture from monty about not nuking in aluminum foil though :D.

Re: Preparing Porgies
 

Monty pull a knife on anyone for nuking with aluminum foil lately?

Nah, once when someone tried to mug him while fishing but I diffused the incident hahaha.

Thanks for the tips (an entertainment).

I did them 3 ways.

1) Fish fingers (filltes)
2) On the grill with Basil Pesto (FYI the Reynolds No Stick Foil works well)
3) Fried Hard

Will try the toaster oven method next time :p

I don't eat them often but will take the larger ones over 12" fillet them cutting the fillet into upper and lower portions to avoid the bones and then fry them with panko coating.

Make sure you take out that line of red meat...makes the fillet taste better...and then u got two pieces of meat to deep fry.
