Just curious if anybody is familiar with using Noodle Fish. I got a pound freezer pack as a sample, so once it's thawed I am sort of committed! I have never used them before. Any tips? Swap them for elvers? Flash fry like calamari?

Noodle Fish, is it like a pin fish? Maybe bait?  Wouldn't be able to eat that.

Down here in Texas and Oklahoma a Noodle Fish is a big ole Hard Head Catfish caught be hand. Can definately eat that puppy!

Added note: My son says that he has had them in Calif. Deep Fried. He says the menu usually reads

Fried Silver Fish. Says it's a flavorless dish, needs a good sauce, girlfriend likes them because they don't taste like fish. Says they also make a pancake like egg foo yung sp?

I wasn't suggesting you make flavorless putanessca, just dying if the fish needs a good sauce that would be one to try.
Oh, ok, I understand where you were going with it.

but, I love that pungent, salty, fishy flavor. Maybe I'm part feline? I also really enjoy fresh anchovy and smelt.

I don't think the fish bait we're talking about has any flavor. I don't think you can get them fresh. I personally would not go out of my way to eat noodle fish in anything.

I understand that completely man. One of my personal favorite dishes is a couple of sardines boned out from the back and stuffed with olives, lemon, capers, and concasse tomatoes. Toss the whole thing on the grill, amazing.
