I have never taken the time to make pink porgies, but I brought five of them home from the weekend Middle Grounds trip and figured I would fillet them up tonight and have them.

No BS, that fried porgy dinner that I just ate is one of the best fish dinners I can ever recall having. Better than hogfish, grouper, etc. The only thing I can compare it to is the fresh lake perch I used to get when in college up in Michigan.

Recipe is simple:

You’ll need at least 4 pink porgies for a meal for 4 or 5.
Dip fillets in a beaten egg.
Bread with Kelloggs Corn Flake Crumbs.
Pan fry in about an inch of oil.

The fillets will come out very crispy, and you are in for a real treat. There is a new fish favorite at my house, with everyone saying it beat any fish they’d had.

Other divers laugh at me when I shoot porgies. But I love 'em. Challenging to shoot, and delicious!

Yea, they are tasty. It's a bummer you can only keep one a day in South Carolina. Every time I am sitting in the sand off a wreck they just come and stare at me. It's like they are begging to be run through.:D

One a day? It would take a few trips to have a meal. They are unlimited in the Gulf, and they bite readily so it's easy to catch plenty on rod/reel before diving.
