Gastro Gnome - Eat Better Wherever

Plate ‘em up

So how big of sheepshead do you eat? We catch them on Erie and everyone considers them a trash fish but recently I heard they are good to eat. Said had to bleed them out. What would you say it compares to?
I think he meant a saltwater sheepshead , excellent eating . Freshwater , not so much .
