I think bonito taste better after they eat a handful of cheeze-its
Nota---ya gotta understand that different fish have the same name in different parts of the country. What we call a bonito, or bone, up here is an Atlantic Bonito, scientific name
sarda sarda . They are really a mackerel, like a 'hoo, king or Spanish Mack. They have pink meat and taste fantastic.
Down south, they call a False Albacore a bonito. They are the red bloody mess BM was referring to, and even dogs won't eat them
Those are probably what your fishing guide was calling bonito.
Tha cheeze-its are for catching other fishermen, not fish, get it?
It's sorta like putting your foot down on your lure, on the beach, and leaning back on your rod to make all the guys sitting in their trucks with binoculars think you're onto a fish, and make them come running down to where you are so you can fish in someplace out without them snooping on ya.
