On WFN a while back that went sucker fishing in a great lakes tributary and showed how to fillet and cook them. Scale, leave skin on, fillet like a pike. But they have 2 sets of "y bones". He scored the fillets to the skin through the bones, coated them in whatever fish coating, cut into smaller chunks and then deep fried the chunks. It was said that this crystallizes the bones - he and his 2 companions were eating them up and exclaiming how good they were so ...?
