Rumors about stripers

[iluvspots]

Does anyone else besides me think that there are better eating fish than striper?

They are a blast to hunt and catch, but frankly, I think they taste like muddy cardboard compared to other critters you might save for the table.

The best (non-battered) striper recipe I've ever had was at Lola's in Oak Bluffs (MV), but it was just okay.

Sometimes I wonder if bluefish and skate wings taste better!

iluvstots - Striper is very tastey not every day, but while they are around, they're on my menu a couple times a month . I gut and ice fish immediately, dry filet with paper towel, rub with olive oil, salt and pepper, hot hot grill 7 minutes first side, 5 minutes second side. yummy.

I'm not wise to the science of bass reproduction, but I like the idea of a slot limit, 1 fish 18" - 24", one over 40".
