Most of you, like me, are seafood eating fools. Give us a stick of butter, some lemon (and for me some dill) and we are off to the races with almost anything that comes from Mother Ocean. Before we eat, though, someone must catch. Again, for most visitors to this website that someone is us.
Florida waters, of the Atlantic Ocean and Gulf of Mexico, provide a wide array of species for anglers to catch and eat. We are interested in the connection between what folk like to catch and what they like to eat. Are they one in the same? Do you like to fish for one but, like to eat another? A quick survey of a handful of Old Salt members revealed the following:
Jim – Catch Wahoo & eat Wahoo
Jill -Catch Gag Grouper & eat Hogfish
Lora -Catch Mahi & eat Black Fin
Amy -Catch Wahoo & eat Wahoo
Alan -Catch ARS & eat Scamp
Looks like we are all over the board. Where do you stand on this? Take a minute and, using the comment section, let Old Salt know your preference for Catch & Eat.
mike-i hate to say it,cause they are a PITA on a head boat,but AJ hard to beat as a game fish. eat-scamp,yellow edge grouper,queen snapper,trigger fish
Catch- Sails, wahoo, aj, king, mahi
Eat – tuna, aj, grouper, mahi
But let’s be real. …if it pulls drag, we like to catch it.
Too right on that closing sentiment, Mike.
Bonnet head shark,snook red,black drum. Surf fishing like to eat all of them
Catch anything on the end of my pole. Eat whatever is on my plate.
Kinda how I was raised as well….
Amen brother. It’s nice to target a fish but even better for the surprise that tastes great.
