I made fish emulsion last year using about 5 bluegill. I put the fish, compost, water, and a jar of black molasis in a 5 gallon bucket with a vent hole drilled in the lid. I put a screen over the bucket before putting the lid on to keep bugs out, and buried 1/2 of the bucket in the garden to keep the critters from knocking it over and let it set a couple months. When it was done I strained it into milk cartons. I got about 1&1/2 gallons. The stuff doesn't smell the best but everything I use it on loves it. It works every bit as good as the store bought emulsion for the price of the molasis.
I also bury bluegill under my tomato, cucumbers, and pepper plants.
