Nice fish! How do the white bass taste? I’ve always wondered.
Pretty good if you remove the dark red meat. I mainly take the portion from above the lateral line. And when filleting down & across the fish, cut just short of the skin. That eliminates much of the strong tasting crud. I usually only keep them during colder water months.
White bass are quality table fare. Make sure you have all the red meat/fat removed and they are good. Best meat is above the lateral line. My guests can’t tell the difference when mixed in with walleye. There is a texture difference that I notice the most. The white bass is less delicate more coarse texture than the walleye.
