Saw this on YouTube a couple of years ago and started cutting the rib cage out this way. It doesn't take much extra time and adds a couple of bites to each Fish. Doesn't seem like much but it adds up. Still boneless too!

That's how I do it. Should look like an oven mitt.

I had some crappie the other night. Ohhhh, it was so good. That almost looks coconut battered.
Theres a fine line between fishing and just standing on the shore like an idiot. Steven Wright

I fry up the rib cages and eat them so nothing is wasted  The wife and kids eat filets and I fill up on rib cages. Lots of meat on them.

However you filet and cook them, they sure are good. Had a batch of fresh filets and some tater salad last night.

I even slice the thin layer of meat off the ribcage. It's really crunchy when fried up.
To whom much is given, much is required.

good looking filet job right there! as for the rib cages, I fry those up as well....I call them potato chips....just like eating the tail of a crappie fried whole, or a perch.

fry mine whole most the time, the way my grandparents cooked fish. My grandfather showed me how to clean a bullfrog, not just cut the legs off
