Americans now harvest our best, most nutritious fish in our best-managed Alaskan fisheries and send those fish over to Asia.
I wonder what fish he is talking about? Is it pollock or salmon?

When I was growing up we pretty much kept everything.
Ive eaten hard head catfish. Uou dont get much meat off of them but they dont really taste bad of you filet them.
People in the NorthEast eat bluefish. I dont knoe of ANYONE from LA who eats them.
Gafftop/Sailcat is a pretty decent eating fish although they are slimy as hell.
My dads favorite fish was Sheepshead/Bay Snapper. They not bad either, however the yield of meat per fish is low.

Easy choice.
Croaker on the bone deep fried like bream.

Worked at a place in FL during college that smoked mullet. Had a big fire pit smoker and laid out these big mullet split down the back and laid them scale side down, spread some secret red powder all over them, and put them in the smoker for 10 minutes. They were pretty good and people would come from miles around to eat them. I was surprised when I learned people in other gulf coast states didn't eat mullet.

It's been year since I've caught or been with someone who caught one of those big croakers. Anyone else notice these things seem to disappear ?

Smoked mullet is sold on roadsides all over the West Central part of Florida. They smoke them for several hours and the filets are eaten or in many cases mixed with cream cheese and spices to make a spread. Disgusting...

Used to be you could catch a few in the 10-12 inch range and get small fillets off of them. Not so much now, it seems.
However, you can still fry those small ones scaled and gutted to eat off the bone.

Yeah but these were only smoked for 10 min until the flesh turned white/opaque. The juice from the flesh mixed with the powder and formed a kind of sauce. I certainly ate my share. We also split 20 count shrimp down the back and smoked them for 6 min. The mullet were pretty juicy but the shrimp were kind of dry. I also like the smoked mullet dip you speak of.

I remember catching a lot of Bonita on two deep sea fishing trips in the late 80s. We either threw it back or cut it up for bait because nobody would eat it. I believe the reasoning was that it was too bloody.

Croaker, obviously. Makes fine cut-bait as well.
Makes for good sashimi right out of the water while on the boat, never tried cooking it.

Same reasoning why people don't eat it much now.

Asians eat them but they pretty much eat anything.

I use to fish on the Pensacola fishing pier a lot and everyone loaded up on blue fish when the schools came in.
That said, yes, Asians pretty much eat anything. If all fails, we throw it in the food processor and make patties out of them.

You can still catch those good size croakers from the Biloxi marsh east to about around the Alabama line, maybe around Dauphin Island. I caught a bunch past the chef last year.
I also bought some iLife in Leeville a couple weeks ago and caught a box of big trout with them as live bait. They sell them now and then because they are more hardy than pogies. But we tossed a cast net and caught a few of them too.

I've heard of sheepshead being called bay snapper but not black drum
I just found out that many people, myself included, mistake Sheepshead for Black Drum. I always thought they were the same fish. But Sheepshead have teeth that look almost like human teeth. They gnaw barnacles with them.
Black drum on the other hand, don't have teeth. They have a bar across the bottom of their mouth and a fringe on their chin.
You learn something every day. At least I do.

Channel mullet is pretty damn good. Not sure if that's a trash fish since it's a treat whenever I catch one.
Gafftop catfish are good as well, but slime up the ice chest

Seriously? I caught a huge one on a fishing trip two years ago and the guide threw it back. Said there was no meat on it.
Hardest fish I've ever fought. Could barely lift my arms at the end of it.

Sheepshead - pain in the wazoo to clean and bones for days but great taste.
Gasper goo - beautiful fish but wasn't very good. Fried it like trout. Will throw back next time.
