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.
