Yesterday my gf's son and I went fishing, me for Peacocks and LMB's (did pretty good too) him for snakehead.
We both catch and release but I've been trying to get him to keep snakeheads to try and eat them.
Well the overwhelmingly positive food critics FINALLY won him over and we kept a 5-6 pounder. I filleted it and after skinning, it yielded right at 1 lb. of firm white odorless meat.
Today we fried and baked it and I can say I'm switching my target species. The meat is white, firm and the flavor is very light similar to flounder. It will be regular table fare from now on.
This fish is a must try if you're lucky or should I say unfortunate enough to be in an area that has an established population.
