Texas Sized Perch {Catch Clean Cook} Whole Fried Perch

Catch the perch (bluegill) using bread on a small hook.

Scale the fish using a spoon or knife, ensuring all scales are removed from both sides and fins.

Gutt the fish by cutting at an angle down past the first fins and scraping out the insides with a knife.

Score the fish with three cuts on each side to help it cook evenly.

Season the fish with Himalayan salt, pepper, and critter glitter seasoning on both sides.

Sear the fish in the skillet for about three to four minutes on each side until cooked through.

Let the fish cool before serving.
