More of a sport fish. Fun to catch, Bad to eat, and were endangered for a while, and still are somewhat, so most marlin fishermen practice catch & release, but the Mexicans are putting a hurt on them on the Pacific side!

I've eaten them too in Cabo, didn't care for it, but wanted to try it. They had striped marlin on the menu there.
