Is this allright in a STRIPER?

Did you accidentally cut/pop the gall bladder? Not sure if that is the correct organ name, cut it is small translucent sack like thing hidden away around under the stomach area. I use to pop it by mistake as a kid and learned you taint the tast of it from where all that yellow stuff touches the inside cavity.

If you can avoid the tinted area. If you don't believe me - set aside a piece that you cook seperately (even if you fry it in a skillet or microwave it so you can just taste it) and try it. It will make you wretch almost..... lol.

I found a pic of it here: http://www.infovisual.info/02/033_en.html

Fillet your fish first, then poke around the stomach cavity to investigate feeding habits afterwards.

i DID NOT know that!

in FL we always bleed the catch first,
lotsa reds, and specks,,,,,,snook too.

i like it Mike P, makes good sense.

thanks Ray, but it didn't really touch the meat only
the bottom of the gullet,,,,,,,,,,great idea, though.

cook a piece first, and check for the rancid factor!!


THANKS a million as always, gentlemen!!
carry on
