We would go sucker spearing each spring, cut the tail section of the sucker for smoking and the other parts we would flay out and grind for sucker patties, two cups of sucker meat, one small onion, one small or half a bell pepper, grind and use a tupperware hamburger maker to make 4-5 1" thick patties, freeze on a cookie sheet with wax paper and then store for a dinner when the wife is gone[not a fish lover] just a fisherman lover.

If anyone is a snack food lover, catch a bunch of smelt, take the big smelt and brine for 3-4 hours in salt, pickling spice ,a few bay leaves, pepper, pretty much any spice in the house, rinse off , let air dry for a few minutes and the smoke, split them down the middle ,pull out the back bone and eat like french fries, don't last very long if there is any beer present.
