Sorry boys... Maybe I'm missing something, but my two experiences were enough for me unless convinced otherwise! |
I started eating them a long time ago, and liked them.. Better than Porgies, but not as good as Sea Bass.. Then a few years ago, for whatever reason, they indeed started tasting like crap to me as well, can't say why.. last few I have eaten last year were NASTY... Now i don't know if they are good or bad.. I should try them one more time to see if I like them or hate them... Could be the water temps, place I caught them, who knows... I will try them again, but am gun shy after the last few i have eaten... bob
