I’ve eaten a lot of it, it is a little mushy when straight out the pan but firms up as it cools. I’d take it 67:1 over Tilapia as long as it came out of running water. I’ve heard of people cutting a deep V near the tail while they are alive to “bleed” them, but I can’t tell the difference one way or the other.

If you ever fillet it off the skin, don’t soak it in water as it will fall apart. Pretty White meat and very delicate. I guesss that’s the right word?

I’ve seen some monsters netted near the Combahee Eddy up from the Tea house. If you ever catch one be careful of the very sharp gill plates and teeth.
