{Martha Barrs?}
About to get sick on kid meat.

[00:00:11]
{Speaker 2}
This fish process I was mentioning just a moment ago normally, normally people use to broil or bake their fish and with this barbecue container that I have fixed here I call it smoking fish more or less. You got a process you go through there,
[00:00:34]
you people that like fish might like to try it. The way I do it, you do not scale the fish, you split them in half and lay it scale down on the top of the grill and let your smoke and heat come up and I like hot sauce
[00:00:48]
on mine or you can baste them in butter. And taking those, if you normally eat one slab of fried fish you'll eat two whole fish fixed this way and it doesn't bother you at all. You don't have any grease at all in it.
[00:01:02]

{Speaker 3}
Yeah there's no grease.
[00:01:03]

{Speaker 3}
Well along with barbecue I guess the other most common way of cooking food for groups of people is the fish fries.
[00:01:11]

{Peggy Miller}
Yes
{Speaker 3}
Yeah. Do y'all do that?
[00:01:13]

[[multiple people speaking at once]]

{Martha Barrs}
We have one of those about once a week now.
[00:01:18]

[[laughter]]
[00:01:19]

{Speaker 3}
Well of course I don't know about you folks but I know that Martha has the advantage of having her own pond just out the side of her house there with her own supply, fresh supply, of fish.

{Peggy Miller?}
Mmhm we all do.

{Speaker 3}
You do too? Everybody?

[00:01:30]
{Peggy Miller}
Yes.

That's my relaxation. [[Laughter]] Fishing.

[00:01:35]
{Speaker 2}
I don't ha--, I don't have--

[00:01:36]
{Martha Barrs}
I get up to go to the pond first thing of the morning and then by daylight sometimes.

[00:01:42]
{Speaker 2}
I don't have my own pond. I have several friends in the surrounding area where I live and they are nice enough to allow me to fish in these ponds when I have time to go fishing. I have one very good friend that lets me go fishing in his pond
[00:01:57]
and he has such a good pond and has his fish trained so well. Oh we get ready to have a fish fry. Have the friends over and have a fish fry. We go ahead and put a grease in the cooker and turn it on and let the grease be getting hot before we get our poles and go to the pond, so, he has some very good- we go and catch our fish, come back and clean 'em, and [[whistle]] right through the [[?]].

[00:02:19]
{Speaker 3}
What, what kind of fish do you catch down there?
{Speaker 2}
Mostly, mostly what you would know here would be crappie or the panfish, brim, shellcracker, perch and what have you, what we call 'em in South Georgia and then catfish of course is very good fish.

[00:02:38]
{Speaker 3}
Well how, how do you, how do you do the fish fries? What do you, how do you fix the fish up for that?

Oh, when we're having a fish fry we cut them up, we
