Blasphemer!

When Rock fish were an endangered species in the 70s we always heard
they were the best.

I never had a problem eating the garden variety croakers.


Croakers aren't bad. I like perch better, but either is fine with me. The perch
make better bait for stripers when live-lining.

That is not always true. A live ladyfish is primo snook bait and
people "live release" them on a hook all the time. The biggest snook I
ever saw was caught on a live ladyfish


This year I'm definitely going to try live-lining for stripers here in the bay.
The trolling bit is just too much work. Now, if it were mahi-mahi, that would be
a different deal. But stripers are not the greatest eating fish going.


Wow, I love the stripers around here.

Scotty


They're OK, but they just don't have much flavor. Most of the recipes around
here call for lots of seasonings, onions, tomatoes, etc. I like them done on the
smoker.

Just to switch a bit, but store bought talapia is about as flavorless
a fish as you can get. It seems that seasoning is mandatory for that
stuff.

I think it might add a bit of fish flavor to the seasoning you use,
then put the seasoning on something else.

Yup, talapia and striped bass taste a lot alike - bland. I eat talapia once in a
while but only 'cause I want a decent dose of fish oil. Ought to just take the
pills.

I'm gonna get some catfish. Blackened catfish should be edible.

Agree there. It is a good vehicle to carry your favorite seasonings on
tho. I bang it in a hot skillet after marinating in olive oil with
some "Emerils" (make my own with less salt and paprika) and some Old
Bay. Not bad but not really "fish".


Old Bay is good stuff on almost anything.

A splash of "Old Spice" might help it out too! It can't hurt it
any.....

Yeah, but every once in a while you gotta' get a bluefish cut it into chunks,
and make deep fried poppers! I let the kids have them once a year or so. I will
keep one Blue a year only unless I kill it coming in. Then I usually find
someone to give the extra to.

I've tried fixing bluefish. Tasted like crap. I need someone to show me how to
do it. Otherwise I won't even fish for them.
