#Blue wahoo fish how to

When the Fall and Spring Kingfish runs happen throughout the Southeast you can find super fresh Kingfish and I suggest buying and eating it in bulk.ĩ) Blackfin Tuna: This is probably the most overlooked tuna in the ocean, but Blackfin Tuna is a fish that’s near and dear to my heart…mainly because after decades of trying I still haven’t caught one. It would be lower on the list if there were more blue marlin in the ocean, but they really shouldn’t be taken (and subsequently eaten) unless the fish died in battle.ġ3) Kingfish: Smoked or blackened is how I prefer my Kingfish, and honestly I wanted to put Kingfish ranked lower on this list but there’s some serious heavyweights below that I just couldn’t bump.

The mates filleted it there and it was probably top 3 pieces of fish I’ve ever eaten in my life.

I have however eaten fresh blue marlin after one (of 3) we caught out of Los Sueños Marina in Costa Rica died after a 90-minute fight. If you don’t like catfish then I’m guessing you’ve never had it done right.ġ4) Blue Marlin: I didn’t want to include this on my list only because I don’t actively support the killing of billfish.

Actual yellowtail caught from the cool waters of California is fucking delicious, and it’s also a fish that fights like hell so if you catch it yourself it tastes even better because you feel like you’ve truly earned that fish.ġ5) Catfish: Blackened or fried, this is one of the best tasting fish worldwide BUT ONLY when it’s prepared by someone who knows how to season and cook it properly. If you’re deeply into salmon it’s simply because you haven’t tasted enough other fish yet to know what you actually like.ġ6) Yellowtail: A lot of people think they dislike yellowtail but that’s because in sushi restaurants worldwide yellowtail is one of the most commonly misrepresented fish on the menu. For the most part though salmon is farmed, it’s oily, and it’s just not very good. As I’ve stated before the best fish is whatever’s freshest, and if you can get fresh salmon (Pacific Northwest on up) it’s tasty as hell. Someone changed the name to ‘Chilean Sea Bass’ and suddenly it’s on my list of the 25 best tasting fish in the world, and people have eaten so much of this fish that it’s now on the protected species list.ġ7) Salmon: To me this is the most overrated fish of all. Fresh fish = the best fish, so eat ’em while they’re as fresh as possible.ġ8) Chilean Sea Bass: Fun fact, the Chilean Sea Bass has forever been known as the ‘Patagonian Toothfish’, but apparently that name wasn’t very marketable and the fish didn’t sell much worldwide. You can pretty much catch them on any grass flat across Florida or throughout the Gulf of Mexico, and they’ll strike anything that’s shiny and moves. These fish are back now, and they’re as tasty as they’ve ever been. Due to a combination of random cold fronts and a few brutal hurricanes the speckled sea trout fishery was decimated. Don’t let Cod’s reputation dissuade you from ordering it, because it’s phenomenal.ġ9) Speckled Sea Trout: For a while these fish were hard to come by in parts of Florida. I think what people tend to forget is the fish you’re ordering in a restaurant has been vetted, it’s not some bottom feeding specimen you pulled in on your buddy’s Boston Whaler, this is a restaurant-caliber fish and holy shit is Cod delicious. Don’t let that sway you away from ordering Cod though.

20) Cod: This is a fish that’s gotten a bad rap throughout the years due to some weird parasites that pop up from time to time.
