With the holidays usually comes extra cooking. Why not use what you’ve caught along the Alabama Bass Trail? Whether you are fishing in the morning for today’s dinner, cooking what you reeled in yesterday, or pulling an earlier catch from your freezer, a fabulous meal is yours with little effort.

Need some inspiration for your holiday cooking?

  • Fried fish
  • Baked fish
  • Fish tacos
  • Pan-fried fish
  • Grilled fish
  • Bacon-wrapped fish
  • Fish jerky
  • Steamed fish
  • Fish sticks
  • Fish sandwiches
  • Roasted fish
  • Fish chowder

Once you’ve hooked your fish, it’s important to keep it fresh and prep it properly. To retain flavor and quality, keep your catch on a stringer in the water and then in a cooler of ice water until you are ready to clean and fillet. You can then cook the fish right away or freeze it for later.

No need to dread cooking for the holidays. Just cook what you catch on the Alabama Bass Trail!
