"At a restaurant: Give me the sword fish with all the trimmings..."
Like mercury? 
Remember what they say bout' billfish.
I like Halibut too. Just a very low oil fish. If you are adept at cooking such an animal correctly, the pay-off can be good. As far as smoked fish
goes, tuna family for sure, mucho oilio. YUM!

Sharks, Low-oil fish! Smoked fish of most any kind is good. A fresh Spanish
Mack is hard to beat, wrapped in foil etc. Anybody ever filet 'em, salt 'em down and have 'em for breakfast? Better than ham! You'll drink water all
day.

Mucho gusto Cyp
Smoking fish. Yes, I do. Plenty. Like it a bunch
Experience is the best teacher. Halibut loses moisture content easily. Oily types of fish like mackeral and bonito, which are typically to rich and
fishy to eat for most becomes a a delicacy after smoking.
Smoked anything may taste good but if it loses precious moisture, well, jerky or cardboard comes to mind. Taste is good but..... but good texture too
is what makes it much better.
Bragging rights divulged:
I recently installed a new machine. It's a steam driven pressure smoker. It can smoke anything 8 times faster and retain moisture content
dramatically. Can do 4 - 25 lb fish in about an hour. Have been doing salmon lately. Will try tuna next, will report.
Getting hungry now......

The fish I like to catch most Dorado(But not to eat) For eating Cabrilla, Sierra with the skin on, and if you have too many the very best for
smoking.

Sharks!! Any questions about smoking fish ought to be directed to you. Bragging
rights? You're not bragging when you're stating facts! I've got an old refrig
smoker! Problem! No fish to smoke. Gonna get there sooner or later.

Glad to see I'm not the only one who loves trigger. I even love catching them. They don't give up without a fight, you always know just what you
have on the line, and they are delicious. We've found they freeze well and when thawed out here in Idaho, are still firm and make a great ceviche,
far from the sea. Bob disagrees. He votes for yellowtail. He likes the hunt, he likes the fight, he likes the taste. Of course, he says he never met
a fish he didn't like...................

Shark Baja said "Like mercury",
Honestly I don't care mercury, DDT or whatever. People purposely inhale tabacco or other ???. If I am going to die while eating a Sword Fish
steak, so be it. But for today and the next few days I will skip the spinach, LOL..
Ahh Baja.... Where you can hear yourself think & commingling with the locals will humble you.

SoCalAl! Better than choking on a chicken bone. Think maybe that spinach was
washed in sewage water.

Love to catch Yellows and they're great to smoke if you can keep them lit. I'm also a big triggerfish fan. Excellent on the BBQ because they don't
fall apart. Cabrilla is good in my fish and shrimp "Veracruzana". Smoked Yellowtail below.

Is this the Cabazon you were talking about. Almost Sole-like in texture. Caught on a sandy bottom. Not a great picture.

Pompano!!!
Nummy!! Nummy!!
Nice white tender juicy and fresh Pompano gets my vote as far as eating.
As far as catching, I suppose a Striped Marlin would be fun but I've never had the pleasure. My favourite fish I have ever caught in Baja was a forty
pound Dorado at Los Frailles on twenty pound test.....in a small zodiac right close to the beach.

Favorites to catch: Roosterfish, except that I catch so few. Yellowtail, Dorado and sailfish. And I just love catching bonito and skipjack. Striped
marlin; I have no interest in big blues or blacks.
What the heck, I have fun catching the bait. Mackeral, platano, big eye...but I haven't tried eating the bait. My personal best was this summer: six
baits on one drop, with five hooks.
For eating? I'm not really big on eating fish, but I just have to get a smoker because my favorite fish are the ones "Bob and Jane" smoke. Yellowtail
and sometimes dorado.

catching: Jack Crevalle from shore
eating: groupers (leopard,broomtail) and halibut.
I agree with the previous post. Catching mackerel at 5AM is really special. Fishing a night next to a bright light is also an experience not to be
missed.

In my time in the fish business, I have fileted practically every kind of fish, and I have to say, the WORST ones to filet are the swordfish. Overall,
it's an easy fish - skin is firm, meat cuts like butter, the ribs aren't too big, head comes off easily - no, none of that - its' the damn tumors! In
every fish that I have fileted, I lose 10% to 15% yield in the fist sized tumors that lodge in the meat. These tumors are rock hard and nasty. It
amazes me that this stuff goes for so much money. I will never eat swordfish.
As for large sculpin, the biggest I ever found were 6 to 8 pounders at the mouth of the Cadeje river. It happened one afternoon - got 10 or so, and I
have been back many times to no avail. That was a feast!
