Sheephead Consumption

Anyone ever eat sheephead? If so, any good?
We could have sunk the boat with them this past weekend, but only kept 3 or 4 of them. A guy on my jobsite today was saying how good the meat was, but all I have ever done with them is imitation crab meat for stuffing.
Matter of fact, I have a big flounder from this weekend's trip that will be stuffed with some sheephead soon.

If you learn how to clean around the ribs, you're gold.
When people catch them in my boat, I ask for them.
Closest fish to crabmeat is right. And on the halfshell on the grill,

If you are starving they are ok I guess.. Way to much hassle when it comes to cleaning to load the boat with sheep heads, and way to many better tasting fish out there

they are a great tasting fish, restaurants serve them as "bay snapper"
They get a bad rep because they can be a bitch to clean if you dont know what your doing. There are a couple good youtube videos to help you out

Yes, very good. Cook with a crab boil.

You need a fairly large one to get a nice filet like 3lbs plus.

They are great to eat. But as was stated previously, you only yield 30% or less of meat per fish and they are hell to clean.
That being said, I would not load my boat with them, but I would definitely keep an ice chest full if they are biting.

Love 'em. Been years since I had one.
Posted on 10/17/12 at 10:23 pm to 4LSU2
hell yes they are good!
i cut the back from the top first.
then from the bottom, but use an ultra sharp fillet knife.
then i run that knife traditional way that meets those cuts and boom...huge fillets ready.
enjoy!

A friend was cleaning one, and he said they weren't any good. I said I'd eat it right then and there, and sure enough I took a bite out of a fresh sheephead like it was a sushi special at Tsunamis.
Didn't taste very good.

Very.
They don't yield well at all though. There isn't much meat on what appears to be a pretty big fish.

Great eating fish but a bitch to clean due to the spines and funny shaped rib cage. It takes a pretty good sized one to make a decent fillet. I have also fried the small ones whole like perch

Just make sure you don't eat the horns..

I have a friend who smokes them and makes a dip/spread out of em. Eats it in burritos and such. Pretty damn good I must admit.
