I love hardhead... bleed immediately, gut half hour later, leave out mudline. I also like oyster toadfish. Pinkish OK, but with so much mudline cut out there is no meat left. Croaker and shark (yes, like pork!) amazing. Thanks for the info on sting rays. I'll try that! I like trash fish because it's low impact on fisheries and other people's table fare.
grew up on trout and reds pretty much. So, yah, I guess I prefer those. But I recently had Spanish Mackerel and Sheepshead for the first time and it was glorious! Glorious for my tongue and my belly!
I’ve caught and ate everything in the top two tiers. Puppy drum (juvenile black drum) are delicious, and one of the best eating species in the second group outside of trigger fish. No apparent worms in younger drum. Trigger fish is highly prized in my area of Northwest Florida. I’ve eaten lady fish, shark and mullet. I’ve caught boat loads of croakers, hardheads and a few gaff tops and stingrays, but not sure if I’ve eaten them. One fish you didn’t include was bonito. I’ve always wanted to try them. Ive heard people say they’re just like tuna.
dunno if you’ve seen the channel Landshark Outdoors. He’s a pretty big and well known channel as fishing channels go. But anyways, he has a whole whole lot of “trash fish” catch, clean, ‘n cook videos. And he has done them all very much on purpose. And his fun motto goes, “no trash fish, only trash cooks!”😂 Watching his videos very much helped me realize how the whole “trash fish” idea is, to a very large extent, based on a bunch of opinionated, uneducated bs that has been repeated and repeated and repeated for so many years, that, unfortunately, people come to believe it is true. Well, it’s not true. It’s one thing to have a preference. That’s totally fine! Very good! It is completely a different thing to hear some fishermen, as one may hear, be so totally “anti” this fish or that fish because it’s “trash” for whatever idiotic or uneducated reason they may say. So, example, do I prefer ladyfish? nah. I don’t. Is it trash? No, absolutely not. As Landshark Outdoors proved and helped me realize, there is a specific way to correctly prepare each species. Although yet still, I would go ahead and say that a deep sea angler fish would be a trash fish.😂
Trash fish name is because some fish don't keep well in the fridge for a few days or don't taste good after they are frozen. Damn near all fish taste good fresh.
Only see two fish on there that I do not like the taste of. I do not see any Trash fish. I’ve never had a white trout or a sand trout, so I cannot say anything. The mackerels i’ve much prefer smoked just like I prefer my mullet smoked. triggerfish, is not easy to clean, but the meat is fantastic, it is also extremely good as sashimi. My mother loved fish, eggs, fresh or salt. I’m not so excited about them…. But I think it’s because I don’t take sufficient care in them. Jackfish I don’t even bother with anymore unless I’m fixing it for the cats.
Bonnethead sharks are delicious and plentiful. Small jacks are good on the grill. Ladyfish are gross. Hardheads taste like bloody mud even when bled. Whiting are the best tasting fish I think.
They are not such a thing as trash fish some fish tase better than others MA be you all dont know how to cook fish you have to know how to cook fish and how to set up the fish that it I been eating fish all my life every day I eat fish
Triple Tail is by far my Favorite

Red snapper, red fish, sheepshead, beach drum, spotted trout, flounder in that order
Whiting are awesome. So is sheepshead. Smaller black drums are good too.
Spot on I think, stringray is fantastic, and I've had mullet from the surf fried and they were great (also bled out).
Sea bass and redfish are some of my favorite to eat. I love catching but also love cooking
Same here!
i had gafftop catfish fried in my tent on the beach this was the best cat ever !

also, while unsightly, sure, yes, it is also true that those “spaghetti worms” completely harmless to humans when the fish is cooked properly.

So, they are all good.
Gimme fresh mullet, fried, smoked or grilled.

I agree
FAVORITE: Pompano
LEAST FAVORITE: Sand Trout
SUPRISINGLY GOOD: Gafftop
I like black drum better then red drum by far honestly.
My favorite are ladyfish and pogies

Surprised that one of the best-eating fish in the bay is not on here...tripletail
Ling...A.K.A. Cobia
Snook, permit.
Pompano, trout redfish mackerel snapper black tip shark

reds drums trout

I agree, freshness is the key factor and prep
Agree. Those fish are called as such as they are by-catches not necessarily because they taste awful.
the king mackerel mercury thing is wayeeeee exagerrated.
Heavy guitar music is unnecessary and annoying.
We like it!
