Maybe you have a recipe you would share ??
I'd love to try for them again this summer, but will release if
I can't get them to taste better.
Thanks Capt.

Lots of mixed reports on how they taste. My one and only experience was a few years ago with a 50-60lb drum on a party boat off Shrewsbury Rocks. The mate had a bitch of a time filleting it, actually one of the very few times I saw him break a sweat doing anything. Anyway, I digress...... I took home a big hunk of it and didn't really know what the hell to do with it. A rare burst of inspiration hit me and I chunked the meat, salt, garlic & basil, and wokked it up under high heat. REALLY good! Had a monkfish texture.
