Just started fishing again after being land-locked for way too many years. Now that I'm back in Louisiana and have a boat I've started catching fish again. Caught some nice puppy drum Friday in Lake Pontchartrain and want to cook them for dinner.

I'd like to hear some or your favorite recipes for drum. Thanks!

If they are under 27" you can cook them just like reds. I.E. fried or on the pit with scales on. If big nasty bull drum I would cut the blood line out, cut out the worms then grind, mix with bread crumbs/seasonings and make fish patties.

probably not what your looking for, but as a fisherman and hunter i would highly reccomend getting one of Chef John Folse's cookbooks. the encylopedia is an amazing all round book and if your more interested in just fish recipes get the Hooks Lies and Sinkers. they're expensive, but well worth it in my opinion.

I usually release any drum/redfish over 27".
