Eating Sucker Fish

[stripernut]

Thanks for all the replies. I know nothing about smoked fish, but does smoking do anything to the bones to dissolve them? If not, how did you eat them without having a problem with the bones. It is getting to the time of year when suckers are most active and wanted some ideas on how to prepare them. Do you have any fool proof directions for smoking them? Thanks for any information.

No attempt to hi-jack honest question.

It doesn't seem like bait shops carry suckers much anymore around cumberland. Shiners now seem to be in vogue.

Any reason for that?

And yes, I have smoke sucker left over from the livewell from a fishing trip.
