Sea/Lake Food

Bought some fresh salmon today at kroger today on special due to the sale by date of 12/13. Two full sides for 24 each, at 4 lb so $6 a lb

Sounds like a good price.

I've never been fond of salmon/trout, etc. I prefer white, flaky fish. Always have. I'll eat salmon if that's all there is though. My wife loves salmon and buys it pretty much every week. The boy likes it too.

Freshwater fish suit me more. Walleye (I wish), bass, bluegill, crappie, catfish and so on.

The best saltwater fish I've tasted is Cobia. Great stuff! I really like Snook too. I've also had sheepshead, black drum, redfish and others. Plus the store bought stuff like Cod. All good.

I like white fish a lot, just about only thing I find in the store is tilapia and that's just not worth it. If I take fishing back up I can get plenty of blue gill, bass and others

Whitefish is excellent cooked or smoked. The wife likes tilapia, to me it tastes like mud. Cod is really good too, imo...

 

[BWR1953]

Yeah, I don't like Tilapia either. Muddy taste to me.

My daughter caught this nice Tilapia on an artificial bait... 23 years ago! Man, I'm old.

I don't like talipia because it's mushy and next to no flavor, but mostly mushy

Tilapia on the grill takes care of any mushiness

So that's what they look like, wasn't what I was expecting... Kinda looks like a drum or sheepshead...

Not a fan of tilapia ... that fish is soft and has no flavor at all.

But the lake trout I had last week ... OMG was it delicious!

Cut the fillets into strips, dredged them in butter and coated them in a mixture of club cracker crumbs, finely chopped almond, garlic, salt, and pepper, and fried them in a pan coated in olive oil. Yum!

(My brother and I caught 17, this being the largest. We lost 3 and kept the 5 smallest ones, which fed 21 people ... 6 of which were kids under the age of 11!)

There is a good population of Lakers in Raystown and they keep stocking them. They are becoming the fish with the largest population.

 

[WIMUSKY]

Good food for Musky
