About Pumpkinseed sunfish

Pumpkinseed sunfish is a freshwater fish known by this English common name. It has a deep, laterally flattened body, olive to orange colouring and distinctive blue-green markings around the face and gill cover. Its flesh is mild and relatively delicate, though the amount and texture of edible flesh depend on the size of the fish.

It may be prepared as a whole small fish or as cleaned fillets, with bones requiring care during eating and preparation. Cooking methods vary, and the flavour and texture of the cooked flesh are affected by freshness, size and cooking. The common name identifies a fish, not a pumpkin-derived food.
