Ive kept them on slow bottom trips and they're pretty good eating. However, we've all seen how many people on party boats just let fish sit in a bucket or on the deck all day long in the sun. Well if u do that with a doggie you're not gonna like the end result.
Well said, gut and ice them immediately and they are good. The reason the government put commercial catch limits on them was that they were so popular in Europe and the UK (major component of fish and chips), that our commercial guys were overfishing them (by government standards).
