Part of the enjoyment of fishing is being able to provide a meal for the dinner table.
People who want to learn more about how to turn the fish they’ve caught at area lakes and streams into tasty table fare should register for the Missouri Department of Conservation’s (MDC) virtual program “Pond to Plate: Fish Cooking: Equipment Needed.” This free online event will be from noon-12:30 p.m. on March 25. It is being put on by the staff of MDC’s Shoal Creek Conservation Education Center in Joplin. At this event, MDC Office Supervisor Tim Smith will talk about the equipment needed for frying, grilling, and other fish preparation methods. People can register for this program at:
