Teaching a Kid to Fish part II

So after the kid has caught the fish….then what? We’ll I’m pretty sure it is time to teach them to clean, cook and eat them (not necessarily in that order).
The kid handling the knife under adult supervision will be dictated by the maturity level and earlier practice with the duty of a knife. With my 6 year old we are at the point of where I cut and he guts. About two more years and I’ll let him handle the knife.
Cooking is pretty easy. We just fired up the Big Gas Grill to medium heat, sprayed the grate with some olive oil and slapped them on after a five minute pre-heat. Five minutes into that he gave them a flip and let them cook another seven minutes. I think he had as much fun using the spatula as he did catching them.
I guess part three will be the eating there of. What is so hard about that you may say? Well, many people will not mess with fish unless it is filleted. I’ll show you how to de bone them after they are cooked. You’ll get a little more meat for your mileage that way.
