Hi again,
Anyone ever fry up Barred Surf Perch :BabbleFish:? I just did, the mama that took one for the fish gods the other day, and it wasn't bad at all!! Very mild fish flavor, not in your face at all. The only drawback, and it's not unpleasant at all, is the texture. They are not a solid meat fish, say like halibut or rockfish. More 'melts in your mouth' than 'chewy'.
So, if you are an avid fish eater, I would suggest you give 'em a try!! I was very pleasantly surprised:Big Grin: Of course, just like their freshwater counterparts, Blue Gill and Crappie, it does take a bunch of 'em to make a meal.
