Caught some of these on a charter trip off of Ocean City, MD a few years back. We were trolling to target mackerel and blues but the water was especially cold that day so the only bites we got were from these guys until we switched to wreck fishing for black sea bass.
The best way I tried cooking them was beer battered and fried. Did have to roll them up and stick a toothpick into them because of how long and thin the fillets were though but they were delicious.
Seen em in Korean markets dried out, they always smelled more fishy and I'd prefer to spend the money for a flounder fileted in front of me. Maybe the weirdest thing was in markets, dried pasta/noodles as well as fish would get hit with water for the most outside vendors. Inside it was delicious onion seafood omelette/pancakes as well as other delicious street food.
i can salt the fish for 30mins, then soak the fish in Japanese season rice vinegar same one they use in sushi rice for another 30mins to get a cleaner fish taste, very well favorite fish in Asian countries grilled, fried, even dried out in the sun till paper thin and fried ( the way i grown up eating it till this day )
Please try the blue land crab, they live mostly on land and their meat is completely different to ocean crabs. Darker, richer and almost creamy tasting.
In Virginia, we call them Ribbon Fish the taste my opinion is similar to mackerel. Everytime Ive caught them, I've had to cut the lure, put a new on, and get them back after fishing. Also, did you catch them on the Potomac?
They grow to 5ft long and are known as Hair tail in Australia. They look like chrome straight out of the water and will chase you around the boat….. seriously.
We Koreans eat them. But I also use the small ones as bait. Great for bait!

Why do people eat fish and not want it to taste like fish. A little fishy. Yes , it's a fish. I did grow up by the sea growing up eating fish.
Fire seared or smoked lightly over apple and cherry wood makes the bit of fishy taste standnout

Koreans love this fish. You should check out some recipies.
I've never really liked sea food, but you're channel has shown me that it's not all the same and I should definitely start trying it again
Was it a bony fish?
Wow I would love to sit down and talk with you sometime! You seem pretty informative about seafood. I’m in Md as well. Great work!
You know, I really appreciate your approach towards eating sea food. It's not over done, it's just trying out stuff, lol. Pretty much how I do it

I used to catch these all the time in Corpus Christi. They are considered trash fish here but are eaten in Asia.
