I always throw these back but I’m curious if anyone has cooked one and is it any good?

    Yes! Kept a couple yesterday (for the first time). Deep fried in a beer batter (seasoned fish and the batter) and they were great. Helps a lot if you bleed, gut and ice immediately.

    They aiight. That’s a decent size if you’re gonna eat them maybe a pound bigger max. Better for like curry, gumbo, goulash etc than filets and frying IMHO.

    Sorry, I forgot about it. I’ve boiled it , freid it, sautéed it, smoked it, brine it, stir fried it, beat it, F it

  4. They’re very delicious deep fried with just seasoning and no batter. Fried in the oil at high heat takes a lot of the game out of this fish which I don’t mind but casual fish eaters don’t care for a gamey tasting fish. Steaming or baking enhances the game in my opinion but I enjoy it either way.
