We bake 'em. Just gut and scale the fish [I don't mess with filleting the small ones]. Then use alum foil to make a packet that will hold all the fish, add a pat of butter inside each one, pepper with lemon pepper, put a bit of water in the foil, slice a lemon and spread it over the fish. Now seal the foil & throw it into a 350 oven for 30-35 minutes. The fish lifts right off the bones for the most part.
