Sheep

Larry,

Ive heard for years how good Sheeps are, yet the last time I actaully ate one or tried to it was horrid! Perhaps its the water up here, perhaps I got sloppy in filleting and knicked the bile duct and spoiled it. I dont know...

Do they really taste that good?

ps enjoy your posts....

i am not sure how you prepare your fish for eating but in asian restaurants if you purchased a sheephead that size, EASY $100. they normally will steam the fish with garlic and green onions with some sesame oil and some other goodies. it is REALLY good.

@full-rac: Maybe you got it backward, actually my 'trash fish' reference
could be the taste of cooked yellowtail, compared to flaky white vermillion
or lingcod.

Yellows I'd rather not even catch them, however, other men TREASURE
them. And, that's OK, more 'flaky-white' fillets for us.



P.S. When I want sushi, I fillet up a huge spanish mack or greenback -
but NO WAY will I give up the gps location of where I catch THOSE little
treasures. : )

Agree on the spanish, but not the greenbacks.

Spanish Mack sashimi sells for $17 per mackeral at Sushi Ota.

Yes.

Very soft and flaky, you can't fillet and fry them like you do for rockfish.

Tagyak is right. They need to be steamed gently.
