View Full Version : Bait Eaters
bloocrab 05-03-2007, 01:06 AM How many of you EAT BAIT?? ....:gorez: .....:yak6:
Yes, I'm curious....
What kind and how do you prepare it?
I don't want recipes as I won't give you mine...just a generalization.
A few of my examples:
Squid:
1. Calamari style
2. Spicy-Stewed w/potatoes
3. Grilled
4. Stuffed
Mackerel:
1. Pan Fried
2. Grilled
3. Boiled
4. Roasted
Silversides:
1. Deep Fried like French Fries
EELS:
1. Stewed with potatoes
2. Butter-flied and Pan Fried
My list goes on as I'm weird bastage...but I'll let others chime in as I'm curious what and how you prepare any bait that you may consume.
Let's hear it you closet munchers!!!
P.S. ...yo Rick..........what should I do with this stuff? :D

numbskull 05-03-2007, 06:15 AM Bled, iced, red meat cut out, and mackerel is better than fresh tuna.
fishsmith 05-03-2007, 06:32 AM I've never cooked squid, but frequently order the app when out to dinner.
I love fresh fish and Mackerel is delicious. The attached pics show us cooking the bait and fish caught on the bait.
Waste not Want not.
johnny ducketts 05-03-2007, 08:41 AM I have eaten sea herring sashimi.. it wasn't that bad, properly bled and chilled. I don't think I would do it again, but ya never know.
fishpoopoo 05-03-2007, 10:38 AM Gilly -
Why is it weird to eat calamari? Squid is delicious ... don't think I've met a lot of people who don't like it.
I will say that I don't like Atlantic mackeral. Maybe because of the strong oily taste of the red meat, maybe because I've spent a lot of time on boats and beaches cutting up putrified macks for chunk baits. I just won't touch it anymore. I'll take a nice piece of the milder Spanish Mackeral sashimi - if there's a hot cup of sake lying around.
Silversides? Heck, you'll see them offered in Chinatown supermarkets. I know a lot of eyetalian folk in the NY area who fry them up whole in olive oil and garlic. Yum.
Eels of all sizes have long been a delicacy in European and Asian cultures. I don't eat them (and crabs) any more because of their high cholesterol content.
I've seen people eat sand eels :lurk: , but have yet to witness someone happily slurp down some sand or bloodworms or dig into a mossbunker filet. :sick:
The Dad Fisherman 05-03-2007, 10:57 AM I love Squid, fried, fra-diavlo, or pan sauteed
I love Eel....used to catch'em off the peir and cook them up on the grill......If they're fresh enough they turn them selves over on the grill
Never had Silversides....But I'll munch down a mess of smelts so they should be similar.
Never had mackerel either but I would eat them
Bait....Its what's for Breakfast

John I think we're planning on taking the girls down, what day are you going?
rickhern 05-03-2007, 11:20 AM Bloo,
YOUR KILLIN' ME!!!
Adamfishes 05-03-2007, 11:59 AM I LOVE spicy calamari with lots of hot peppers. I got some take out from vinny Ts their calamari sucked no hot peppers as advertised.
I had mack sashimi one time and I couldn't eat it....
Eel in sushi is really good.
I'm sure we all eat shrimp and crab that is bait:)
Finaddict 05-03-2007, 12:11 PM uhhmmm ... no bait on the menu for me, unless you consider bloos and baby bloos as bait for stripers, shark and tunas ... then I'd be a bait eater ... but not squid, eels, crabs (occassionally down in MD), etc. for me ... oh, leg of lamb - per Jaws, yes I do eat bait. :scream:
EricM 05-03-2007, 01:17 PM mackerel sashimi is a big winner in my book - very good test of how good a sushi joint is, at least its my test- I also ate raw herring once...emphasis on once...go figure...Anchovies get snuck into my salads sometimes and I'm not happy about it.
MrHunters 05-03-2007, 01:47 PM i used to eat eel when i was a kid...
tastes like chicken :)
STREETFIGHT 05-03-2007, 01:51 PM mackerel, squid, & eel are 3 of my favorites
ShipWrecked 05-03-2007, 02:21 PM Squid fried
Macks get pickled and that takes care of the oil taste
Goose 05-05-2007, 06:45 AM As I'm fishin I like to chew on sea clam, nice flavor same goes for squid.
Green crabs to much shell, but I'll eat the little ones alive, nice taste.
Silversides, eat'um raw.
Seaworms are naaaasTEE!
Clam neck's don't use'um don't need to eat'um.
Macks, if you don't eat'um you proably won't live that long.
All other bait must be cooked.
Just say no to>eels & pogies, all bones.
Herring never tried it, proably boney too, plus I don't trust fish that eat salad.

WoodyCT 05-06-2007, 08:42 PM No guts. No bait. Except squid, which are yummy.
