This is the fish that the Hmong used to love back in Laos. The moon eye resembles it just as
much as the white bass does.

Bass that's white. It's also called sandbass because it picks up crawl fish and other water bugs
on sands.

you don’t usually target mooneye
it’s more of a by catch
the white bass is super common around here
if you find one, there usually a school nearby
plus they grow fast and out compete native fish

easy to catch and good chunk of meat...no tiny bones to choke on.
-
i avoid carp
i would still eat them
but prefer not to
;D ;D ;D

There are places where a waxie would catch nothing but moon eyes. The
habitats are similar to those of the white bass's: fast current, clear and
clean water, rocky or sandy bottom.
One must know how to cook them so the bones aren't an issue.

Heads are great for fish soup. Same with buffalo heads.

you might like the whitefish here in our great lakes
little bit on the oily and fatty side
so decent amount of bones

The Hmong love ntse quav iab. Its meat bones are no issue. The moon eye’s body bones should be easy to chew.
-
my uncles, they boil the fish with the scales and everything
;D ;D ;D
i can’t eat fish scales
;D ;D ;D
-
Not true. No Hmong boils fish that still have scales on. They have
fried and seamed fish with scales on, but certainly not when boiled.
I think you have not understood the difference between boiling, baking, steaming, etc.
of fish.

Trout, mackeral, sardines, smelts, they are eaten with scales on. :D
-
Tiny fish, sure. But certainly not carps or even white bass.
-
Hmong folks decimated the white bass population in NC. We now have hybrids along with stripers.

The old-fashioned mentality...
I keep wondering what people would do with so much fish in the freezer...Many keep them there for years and then just throw them out. Why not let them roam and then just go catch enough for each meal?

I eat what I catch and share with those that don't fish. Honestly, I hate fishing but like eating stripers and spending time with friends/family.

gotta understand how fishing works
many fishes are farmed raise by the DNR and release
https://youtu.be/lK4tTQSugaM (https://youtu.be/lK4tTQSugaM)
many can’t reproduce due to dam and environmental spawning ground destruction
they will simply just die off like the red salmon you see in alaska
all those food….. gone to waste
-
Yeah. Share with beers. I wouldn't mind Bud Lights.

Fish will thrive in the wild on their own. They will never be wiped out.

We Hmong know how to spice things up in every way.
The Japanese believe that once you have cooked a fish,
it tastes the same as all other cooked fish. That's why
they prefer raw fish from the oceans.
The Hmong don't eat fish raw, do they?
