This is a recipe from my brother. He would always make this while we cleaned our catch.
Nothing to it but really good if you like shrimp.

Blue gill (or any pan fish) fillets and cut into shrimp size pieces.
Get a pot of water boiling with some salt in it.
When water is at a boil drop in chunks.
As soon as they hit bottom and turn white take them out, rinse an chill.
Serve with cocktail sauce and enjoy.
Taste a lot like shrimp cocktail :)

If  you fish Erie in the soft water.  Try Sheephead  that  way. Only  the smaller white  ones  not  the bigger  brown  ones.  You  would  be  surprised. I know  they get a bad rap. Maybe  you  do not  remember  when they  use  to give  away  or  throw out  chicken wings!!
