So like good responsible fishermen, we eat what we catch and keep.<br /><br />We like trout, fried in butter. For me, catfish is a little too fishy. <br /><br />For saltwater fish, barracuda is fun to catch and rather tasty too. Not too fishy. <br /><br />Halibut is a bottom fish, very good to eat, but not much fun to catch, you just sort of haul it up.<br /><br />Waddaya think, Radio Man, Mr. Culinary Fishology?
