Very nice “little” tunny. You should have weighed that one for the Trident.

Caught one yesterday, gave half of it to the oriental guy at G-town Marina. Kept a fillet and cooked it like my favorite black fin recipe.
Well…
IT AIN’T NO BLACK FIN TUNA!!
It was okay. Fried it would be much better, but you can eat anything fried.
I won’t be keeping another one unless someone asks for it.

I don’t eat much fish, except for tuna and salmon. I usually give most of it to the crew. When we were catching them regularly, I ate the living daylights out of it. That’s one fish (that and blackfin too) that I love. Other than that, though, I don’t have much taste for fish. Every now and then, I’ll eat some dolphin. I never figured that skipjack would be too good, but I saw the following article recently, and it peaked my interest:

They say it’s a delicacy like YFT. Penny, you shouldn’t have chickened out just because some boys were sneering at your skipjack thinking they were “bonito”. You are supposed to be my guinnea pig. Now be a good guinnea pig next time and do as captain says.

Lee, that is a really interesting link, I really enjoyed hitting the next arrow and reading about all the different fish they eat in Hawaii. Hopefully they have stopped or slowed down on the consumption of some of the Billfish.
I caught a little tunny for my first “tuna” and when I found out what it was, I was a little disappointed and said I was gonna eat it anyway!!! apparently most recipes for this fish includes a little tunny fillet, a 2x4 and a boot… you cook it all together for 20 minutes on high…turn down to simmer for 10 minutes… then you throw away the fish and the 2x4 and eat the boot…or something like that…
yea i’m going to try it. not because i think its going to be amazing but because i wanna see how it is for myself. I’m going to do the parboil trick and make tuna salad–if its good out of a can i figure it has to better fresh.

I can’t believe there’s a thread about eating bait.
I’ve got some ballyhoo leftover from Sunday…still kinda fresh. I’ve heard it is good fried. Any takers?

No alias, 23. Why do you always insist that I am an alias?
People eat a lot of crazy **** in different parts of the world. Around here bonito is snapper, shark, and marlin bait. If you are having a tough time catching something worthwhile to eat, cut a fillet of that bonito and put it on the bottom for a while and see what happens. Or better yet, bridle it and troll out past the ledge.
Good luck.

I love deep fried ballyhoo. They are even better rigged with a Sea Witch. The skirt gets crispy and I gobble em up.
We caught a skipjack last Tuesday which was our second trip of the season. I’d convinced this fish was a little tunny, and I spent a good bit of time looking up tuna information on the Internet before I was convinced it was a skipjack. Our fishing buddy and Captain of the High Resolution used to own and operate a restaurant, and he can typically cook up and make quite tasty any kind of fish that I’d normally not touch with a 10 foot pole! He soaked the whole loins in teriyaki and then coated them with poppy seeds before cooking them in extra virgin olive oil. We prefer tuna pretty rare and still cold in the center, but we had sampled some raw while cleaning - both were fabulous! Hope we catch some more next trip! Not much of a fight, but they eat well.
