i skin them and my dad fillets them.....

Nice catch man. Way to go. Those are the best fishing/party/whatever boats. My buddy had one and we trailed that thing everywhere when I was younger.

Haddock and cod man myself. Maybe it's a Maine thing. And of course the best lobsters in the land! Had fried catfish down in Florida about 10 years ago. Loved it! Get it every time I go down now.

i dunno i hate lobster, have tried it numerous times thinking maybe i will like it and never do. dont like shellfish period, no crab or clams. dont care for most seafood to be honest.

i have had stiped bass and it was good and i have had it and it was horrible so i guess its all on who/how it is cooked.

but i love fishing, usually catch and release though as i have no desire to eat any of it, if i catch a good trout i give it to the grandparent in laws the 90 year old man loves the shit, he guts it and throws it in the pan, head and all and just peels the meat off the bones with a fork.
