Capt., why did you keep the barracuda? I thought that you couldn't eat them.

1. We eat the smaller ones, white meat, not oily at all. Breaded and fried it's wonderful. Back in the day when people didn't eat meat on Fridays, the restaurants down here would all offer Fish Fries, it was all Barracuda. When I was fishing Cozumel and Cancun and ordered fish soup, it was always Barracuda. The larger ones have a risk of accumulating ciguatera, but we don't see that here on the coast, more over in the Bahamas and further south.
2. If we get one and we are not eating it, they make wonderful bottom baits, the skin is tough and it stays on the hook. Inshore for snapper baits, deep dropping for tiles, or strips for swordfish.
