Want to learn how to clean and cook your catch? Boise angler hosts Fillet & Fry class

Turning sustainably harvested fish into delicious, home-cooked meals is one of the most rewarding experiences in fishing. But how do you clean your catches safely and efficiently? And what are the best ways to cook them for the family?

An upcoming Tight Lines 208 fishing class can show you the ropes.

Fillet & Fry class is set for 6 p.m. to 8 p.m. on Wednesday, Nov. 9, at the JUMP Share studio in downtown Boise. In this unique, hands-on course, participants receive personal instruction on how to fillet, prepare and cook their catch — after which we will enjoy a meal of fresh fish and chips together! All supplies are provided (including the fish) and students get a laminated instruction sheet and fillet knife to keep.
