Shoot, I didn’t put down Pompano. Caught a few small ones near Edisto a month ago only a little meat but delicious. When Dad was stationed at Tyndall he used to bring home some big ones.

You can actually eat the toad fish? It sure doesn’t look appetizing…

On a dare, I took one home. It was a ***** to clean and filet. A blog post I read said to nail the head to a door and pull the skin off, and I should’ve done it that way.
In any event, to get the true flavor of the creature I sauteed it in butter and added a little salt. It tasted like a cross between catfish and frogs legs, with about the same consistency.
The bottom line is that they are edible, but if I were forced to eat one again, Id probably deep fry the sum*****.

That’s just plain funny!!

I still haven’t tried pompano or tripletail, but I sure want to try both.
Supposedly you cook toad fish the same as monk fish, it is related to the monk fish, there just as ugly but bigger, and cost like 25$ a lb.

Mile and a half, max.
All the primary fish listed are great to eat but I would start the list with Mangrove Snapper or Sheepies and end the list with Bluefish, Spanish and Jacks.
Funny to hear about the Oyster Toads! I tried Sea Robins one time and they are quite tasty! It’s too bad that you throw away about half the fish and just filet the backstraps. I imagine Oyster Toadfish are much the same way. I smoked the filets of the Sea Robins and they were tasty!
I haven’t caught a Tripletail either but I had a Tripletail sandwich one time down at Merit Island Florida and it was good!
I also haven’t tasted Snook but hear they are #1!
To each their own but I wouldn’t place Pompano at the top of the list.

i think that the tastiest fish is the one that somebody else frys up and invites me over to eat. not too picky when it comes to fish but i do like black sea bass. i consider them the salt water crappie
