I had to throw this one back (it was too big, you can only keep it for eating if it is between 29 inches and 31 inches long). But we did catch one last week on that charter we could keep and bring home to eat.
When I was cleaning the filets, I like to take off the dark colored meat, I think it tastes fishy. So I gave the stuff I removed to my cats, and they enthusiastically chowed it down.
I caught some Pollak and Haddock recently and gave the trimmings to my cats, and one was indifferent but unenthusiastically ate it, while the other one turned up his nose at it!
I guess they have standards-they only like the good stuff like the Striper!
