Donating to the Museum
Blathers will give a speech on the bluegill when donated to the Museum:

In Wild World
"Bluegills are a type of whitefish and they are most definitely edible, wot! Even so, I would avoid the skinny ones. They look rather full of bones..."

In City Folk
"...Ah, hoo, the bluegill, scourge of fishermen everywhere. Once introduced to an area, this fish will eat up many of the indigenous breeds, eh wot? But with a face like that, it's hard to believe our wee fishy friend here has any bad intentions..."

Encyclopedia Information

Further information
One of the so-called freshwater sunfish, the bluegill's most notable feature is the blue or black "ear", actually an extension of the gill cover called the opercular flap. Its name, however, comes from the bright blue edging visible on its gill rakers. In real life they are dark greenish, very unlike the purple seen in Animal Crossing. This colour mixup is also seen in early versions of the Pale Chub. Also called the bream, this fish tastes nice. It is very common and often fished. Catfish, Bass and turtles prey on the bluegill.
