Seasoned properly, I bet that's viable, even tasty. I'm a little more skeptical on the ground meat, though. I hope it does catch on. Those things are out of control. My dad used to give me a quarter for every one I shot with my .22. There were a few days I made like 4 or 5 bucks. The rack of the 4-wheeler was full

I love the collar Peche serves. I also grew up eating catfish, but it's so prevalent in the south I don't consider it trash. Maybe I'm forgetting something, but that's not much.
Personally, I'm not as adventurous with seafood as I am with other cuisines.

Catfish. I don't think its trash though

I never knew a sheepshead was considered a trash fish until someone called me out on it one day. I moved from Tennessee to Orange Beach. I'd fish on the jetties at Cotton Bayou and pull in sheepshead and reds all day. I ate both. We caught a lot more sheepshead than reds, so sheepsheads were a good portion of our broke-arse diet. A few years later someone told me that sheepshead was a you-know-what fish. I just laughed it off. Sheepshead is good eatin. Not the most flavorable, but they fill your belly and taste better than catfish and tilapia.

Mullet is really good caught here in Pensacola and in Mobile Bay.

Yes because cheek and collar meat aren't on menus of Michelin star restaurants or anything.

Well anyone who doesn't know how to cook it loses all credibility with me.
As would be the case with any ingredient or cuisine. But nice job trying to generalize beyond the scope of the argument to make a point.

And see the redfish reference above regarding today's trash, tomorrow's fad. Obviously you have no knowledge of these things so why comment?
Never had heard that redfish were considered "trash" by anyone. My pops has been red fishing since as long as I can remember. But I wasn't born pre-1980 so I guess in some folks' limited perspective my voice doesn't count. Maybe you can join some of the college kids these days who force speakers whom they disagree with to cancel their speaking engagements.

Yeah, that argument didn't work for me either. But seriously, other fish have enjoyed resurgences. OBrah is just too busy eating at Satsuma or wherever to enjoy them.

Hold up, douchebag. You just asked if there were any fishes that made the transition from shite to desirable. He provides you with an example that you don't remember, then you get mad? Sounds like you're one of those college kids that didn't get their way and are now petitioning to get the post stricken from the argument. Honestly, I don't know redfish as a trash fish. Now, obviously I'd like some substantive evidence corroborating that point, but I'm not just going to get butthurt and go all ad hominem. Come on, brah. I even listed an example of Bluefin being considered shite (I have evidence) before rising in popularity. Call me out too.

I said I enjoy the collar and forgot about the cheek dish. I love both.
In fact I did make it to Satsuma this weekend. I also made it to Milkfish, and Mariza.
If you didn't have a $1500/month beer budget you might be able to eat out once in a while.
Posted on 7/9/14 at 12:10 am to Oenophile Brah
I'm a teacher, I make $1500 in like 6 months, brah.
I get out too. But I like to try new shite. I would have been excited to try the "trash fish dinner." I would have worn my best jorts. It seems adventurous. I don't see a reason to eat at the same places every week when there are so many fun and exciting places to eat here. And when someone tries something different, I'd love to try it too.
I figured that would get a rise from you

Link to where he "provided an example?" All I see in the thread is where somebody said something about Paul Prudhomme serving a lot of redfish a few decades ago. Hardly hard evidence.

Weak. Should've used a reference here to European countries forcing Google to expunge evidence from their search engine of negative commentary and links to embarrassing facts that said individual doesn't want known.

The vast majority of people on this fine board wouldn't consider redfish trashy .. so the burden of proof falls on that majority to prove themselves right? gtfo.

Good to know. Not sure if one example lives up to the "many times" claim in the OP though.

Lotta poons up in here. I you fried gafftop and trout next to each other you wouldn't know the difference.

You know, insofar as he, you know, NAMED REDFISH? Nah, I got nothing.

I don't disagree. That's why you ask for evidence. I don't know that. You don't know that. Clearly he does. I'd be curious to see what that's all about. But, you know, I operate from a place of "I'd like to know more about this," as opposed to you and your whole, "let me talk shite about this" perspective
Honestly, I'd love to be able to drop those facts while enjoying some delectable redfish. "Did you know that in blah blah blah this was considered to be blah blah blah? Because of blah blah blah?" That's the kind of shite that people love.

Look like this thread had typically been ruined but here's some links anyway.

My point stands that while collars and cheeks have been long considered delicacies other places, locally, it has not. This applies to many things.
Also, there was a thread somewhere a while back arguing the merits of redfish. There's definitely a contingent that consider it a throwback.

Its just a PITA to clean. I stopped eating them after one bit my pinky toe off when I was a teenager.
Sheephead is good eating. Just have to cook it right just like with any fish.
If you learn how to clean it right it's not that bad. It's still harder to clean than redfish, trout, etc. The only problem with sheephead is the bones and the yield issue. It takes a big sheephead to get a descent sized fillet.
At one time yellowfin tuna and bluefin tuna were considered trash fish in the US. Some of the first yellowfin tuna (when it started becoming more popular) were bought and sold at my parent's seafood dock in Venice in the early 80's. Fish company would buy fish off of our dock and sell them throughout the country. The owner had a drug problem and went bankrupt eventually. That's how my parents got into the tuna business which lasted about 25 years and closed down a few years ago.
I'm not sure how y'all can eat gafftop catfish. Those things are so slimy. I'm scared to see what my ice chest would like and all the slime it would put on the other fish. I heard it was a descent eating fish but there has never been a commercial market on them for a reason I'm sure. Just like hardhead catfish.

How local are you talking and what's your definition?
Asian places have been serving these for awhile. Not really considered a delicacy either
