Pond to Plate: Grilling Fish Virtual Program

Filets sizzling in the skillet is a great end to any fishing trip, but frying isn’t the only way to prepare fish caught in the wild.

People who would like to learn more about how to grill or bake the fish they’ve caught at area lakes and streams should register for the Missouri Department of Conservation’s (MDC) program “Pond to Plate: Grilling Fish,” a free virtual event from 2:30-3 p.m. on April 18. This online program is being put on by the staff of MDC’s Shoal Creek Conservation Education Center in Joplin. Whether you plan to grill fish over an open campfire or for your next backyard cookout, MDC Education Administrative Assistant Tim Smith will discuss the techniques and methods needed. People can register for this program at:
