[quote author=prouboy link=1356004045/29#29 date=1356242963]Ever catch one of these?  I have only caught this one Lake Whitefish (Coregonus clupeaformis), in Pickerel Narrows in June of 2009.

Didn't even know what it was when I caught it.  Thought it was a short-nosed redhorse, using a fish ID key my buddy had along.  (So much for it  helping ID fish!)

They said they were whitefish and I threw back what they considered to be one of the best tasting fish. I have had smoked whitefish and they are tasty.


The ONLY way they are good is smoked.  Full of bones and you would be warned to hold your nose once you cut into one.

Whitefish are delicious.  I love em smoked, but baked and fried are also good. Rich, white meat.
