I have never fried them myself, and cannot remember how my godfather did it. It seems like he gutted them, beheaded them, scaled them, then dredged in flour and fried in, I am guessing here, Crisco. Then carefully remove the bones and serve. Does that sound about right, or am I missing a step in there. Thanks!

 
He might have added a spponful of cornmeal to the dredging mix and a spoonful of bacon grease ...

to the cooking fat. Sounds about right to me!
