We used to catch them a lot fishing for fluke in the North Point rip off Block when the blues would stop biting during the tide change.
I remember laying them out on the lawn with the blues and marveling how they would lose their colors by the time that we got them back to Granby.
This was maybe 79-83, and then we stopped fishing for fluke (I think we started to fish for tuna at that point).
I always asked #^&#^&#^&#^&y if we could try one. He said that they tasted bad. He also said that striper tasted bad. We used to give them to the farmer's family who lived next door to my grandparents. Times were tough for them and they always took whatever we could give them.
Lots went back to swim again, though.
I'd like to catch one now and see just how bad they taste. Obviously good enough for breakfast!
