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 .

These are a saltwater species. Legal length is 12 inches. We are gigging these fish and they average 14 to 16 inches. I believe the fish you are speaking of from past conversations on here is that its a freshwater fish the fish on the left is our saltwater sheepshead I speak of.

I’ve never cooked freshwater sheepshead but I’ve had them a couple different ways. They aren’t bad.

Using shrimp, I caught a lot of these, close to the pilings, on the bridges between Miami Beach & the Mainland. Baked, broiled with lemon & butter, smoked. All good.

Smoke the mullet, or grill fresh is good stuff. Smoked mullet with cheese grits. Just sayin

Market had some nice looking Mediterranean sea bass today. Decided to stick with the Mediterranean theme and serve it over yellow curry couscous with a tomato, shallot and garlic sauce and fried eggplant.

It’s pretty fantastic but actually found the recipe in a hunting magazine a few years ago. I like to use Italian breadcrumbs and flour that is seasoned well with salt and pepper.
