I filleted a black skipjack for someone. I would not want to eat that.
Anyone ever eat a lizardfish?
Puffers can kill you. That's pretty bad, I think. But a friend eats them and says they're really good. Then again, he also says toro and roosters are
good too. So, local tastes are different.
Anyone evr eat the red rockfish that sometimes come up on a bait rig? Stoplights? But I bet they're good, just too small to be worth the trouble.
Maybe on an LA partyboat they'd be fish tacos.
And, segueing from stoplights to taxicabs, has anyone ever eaten the orange-sided triggers, or taxicabs? No one wants to eat them, so I imagine they'd
be pretty bad.
I knew a guy who ate seagull once. It did not taste like chicken.

maybe ROOSTERFISH??
Have caught many of them...but never ate any. The skippers in Los Barriles always said "NO BUENO" to eat. Sure are fun to catch
though. A challenge to hookup and a great fight!

Skipjack is disliked by the majority of the people, but one time a Mexican cooked it for us and it was good. He first cut it in pieces and boiled it
till it was white, then added a sauce of tomatoes, onions, garlic, spices.

The worst fish from the Sea of Cortez? Hard to say, due to the fact that my experience is very limited. Shark, no offence intended, smells like pee,
but tastes good if done up right. I'm not qualified to say one way or the other. Give me some time.

As a young kid fishing...
NOT a SOC story, but similar to Comitan's Skipjack story...
I always heard MACKERAL was no good to eat. But, then one day on a slow fishing trip, I started catching them EVERY cast using a little yellow
feather, on a Freshwater type outfit with 4# test. That made the slow and boring trip more fun!
Anyway...the Galley Cook took some of my Macks and fried them up on his Galley grill. They were VERY TASTY!

Fresh or salted mackeral is hard to beat. If frozen or not fresh, it's OK for bait.

Toro
The best gamefish is also the poorest tablefare. My wife once fried up a 15lb jack crevalle. It was like eating horseflesh. Tough, chewy muscles that
snapped back to your face. It was a disaster.
I gotta admit those lizardfish look pretty unappetizing. But so do cochi. And scorpiofish, which are supposed to be great, don't look like something
I'd like to see on my plate.
Ever have mullet? They're actually pretty decent.
Fried smelt, eaten whole. Delicious. Mom used to make them and it was one of my favorites.
Mackerel are usually reserved for the rose bush or the cat but I once had some that was pickled in something or other and it was excellent.

Skipjack, Mullet! We called it "Biloxi Bacon". Great, fried or smoked. Caught 'em with a "Mullet Gun". a throw net. Sometimes one toss would supply
enough for dinner.

Every now and then my employees cook up a mess of "mantaraya". This is not the giant manta ray, but actually stingray "wings". They skin the wings,
but the meat will not hold together when cooked so they go ahead and chop it up and fry it in a "disco" (like a wok, but actually a farm implement
disk over a charcoal fire or gas burner) mixed with chopped celery, onion, tomato, anaheim chile and sometimes cabbage, all stirred together. You can
eat it with a spoon, but most people either scoop it up with pieces of tortilla or make tacos. If you can somehow seperate taste from sight and
smell, it's not that bad. Unfortunately for me, it looks and smells like, well... catfood. I never refuse their invitation to join in, but I find
that putting it in a taco with lots of lemon juice and hot sauce helps.
All my childhood I wanted to be older. Now I\'m older and this chitn sucks.

Manta Raya Cat Food
Yuck..... But my cat Pilar would love it. Even with the hot sauce!
Shark is quite nasty, as well.
I'm not too fond of marlin, either. Too many parasites!

Hey there OSO...or anyone else
Isn't it the wing of the stingray that some claim is cut out with a circular Biscuit type cutter, and the meat is then be used as a substitute for
Scallops?????
Does anybody know the answer to that????
