I have caught and eaten a lot of crawdads, minnows, froglegs (not the whole frog), bullheads, and sunfish. We had crawdad pizza for my sister's high school graduation party.

It takes a long time to clean little fish. I have cleaned one after another of 5-gallon buckets of smelt from the Great Lakes - the old-timers said they used to just throw them into a washing machine, back in the day when they netted them by the pickup truck load. And I once cleaned over 150 sunfish less than 3 inches long. They were tasty, but it took a long time to scale them all! never overlook tiny fish! Froglegs are the quickest out of all that list to clean, I think -- don't even need a knife.

But I have never eaten a sculpin! That would be interesting!
