I have noticed everyone is keeping the false albies
Are they good table fare??

Guaranteed the overwhelming majority end up in the garbage. I don't care what anyone says, they are absolutely awful eating. Total waste to have them go home - enjoy the amazing fight they put up, then toss them back.

thanks,

TFS

They make great strip baits for fluke. Wish I could see the look on people's face when they try to eat one.

Agreed! I have tried everything you can think of to marinate, soak, smoke or otherwise make them at least edible. Just does not happen. You know they are bad when cats won't eat them.

I have several great recipes for them, most involve fresh lemon slices...paper plates, used toilet paper, foil and dirt... All say eat everything but the fish! So I would pass
