What is your and other's in the group, favorite white meat salt water
fish?


JT


wahoo is my favorite sal****er meatfish for eating...and the catching is
fun too. *not much on freshwater fish, unless someone has a special
seasoning. freshwater fish require seasoning to make them worth the
culinary effort. *dolphin, wahoo, tuna, striped bass...even shark....a bit
of ketchup (heinz only) and i'm good to go!


jeff (a friend has discovered blowfish as tasty too)


sal****er, for me: *wahoo; dolphin; puppy drum; tuna; flounder (fully
skinned). *oh, and pompano, if they are really big.


freshwater: *rainbows, if cooked stream side within an hour of their
catching. *skillet, salt'pep, butter. *otherwise, no thanks.

One time years ago in the Boundary Waters of Minnesota we caught, in one
day, walleye, pike, smallmouth bass, and huge pumpkinseed sunfish and we
had a cook off. The order of preference was pike, walleye, sunfish, bass..


My favorite sushi is yellowtail amberjack (hamachi), followed closely by
toro, the fatty belly meat of bluefin tuna. My favorite cooked sal****er
fish is baked striped bass, but I haven't had it in a long, long time.
Barracuda is surprisingly good.


It is very tasty, but be extremely careful with barracuda - while it's not
_likely_, it can lead to serious illness/"food poisoning" (ciguatera). *I'd
advise anyone considering eating any to at least read up on it before consuming
any so they know and understand the risks, but hey, to each there own.

Generally speaking, blue-water cuda are OK, but lagoon cuda are not.

My second favorite after yellow fin.

Always took lime, wasabe, and soya out in any boat in the islands,
along with a SHARP fillet knife.

the Ozarks
