hey, joe... u want a recipe for herring. not just your typical english pickeled herring. i guess u must heard of fish balls.. no not them.. like meat balls with pork and beef.. like the ones u eat with your rice noodle soups. well, the herring meat is great for the fish balls.. the meat is really sweet can't compare to any other fish except shads. the only catch is bones, it is laced thru out the bodies of the herring. keep the smaller the herring for this if u want to make fish balls. hell, the russian are eating them like hot cakes, they even have a huge processing trawler that comes thru our water.

1. Catch the Herrin
2. place in the hopper of a nice grinder
3. Grind them up good.
4. Pour in to 1/2 gal milk jugs
5. Cover and Freeze them good
6. go to favorite fishing hole
7. Tie rope to the handle of the milk jug
8. Take knife and punch hole in the jug and throw over board
9. Now you have a frozen chum bucket that will defrost at the bottom of the water slowly. releasing the chum.
10. pull up the empty jug and dispose of properly
11. Take all fish home cook and enjoy!!

Duke....can't help ya with the cormorant, but for the eel...(seriously)...

Take your eel and cut thru the skin all the way around it's neck, just below the fins.

Take a nail, and pound it thru the eel just above the cut into a tree. Take a pair of needlenose, grab the skin, and pull it off the eel.

Clean out the entrails, being sure to break the air bladder and clean out the blood in there.

Take a sharp knife, and run it down the backbone on each side, and then cut off the fillets.

Dredge in flour or seafood breader, fry it up in some butter/olive oil/garlic, and enjoy.

Believe me, if I made it and didn't tell you it was eel, you'd never know it was, and want MORE! Some of the best fish you'd ever taste....

cormorant is a tad bit greasier than swan or bald eagle
