When I said yes, he told us to start putting them in the ice chest. After we cleaned all the fish that evening, I asked him if I could have a couple of filets to try. I pan seared them with very little seasoning to really taste the meat, and let me tell you something, them suckers were dang good. Now all my life i had been told that bluefish were good for nothing more than cut bait, and I have released hundreds. I guess what I'm trying to say is that I will always taste a fish from now on before I take somebody elses word on the taste.

I will try any fish once. I have an uncle who goes on a charter trip twice a year and only wants redfish, will give you every trout on the boat, says they have no flavor

Never had a saltwater catfish, black drum, only had gar once but will try it again for sure. Dude that was cooking it could mess up mac and cheese
