Let Me Tell You About This Really Big Fish I Caught...
Is it just me or is there something unseemly about catching and killing the biggest animal you can find and then bragging about it? I realize that a lot of these (here and here) were probably caught and released, but some of them were keepers no doubt. Let's at least hope the people who cooked them knew what they were doing
FYI, unlike a tuna, dolphin, wahoo, or sword those big stripers and blues are truly horrible to eat. The dark meat near the lateral line make the meat taste like urine. About the only thing worse is the bigger king mackerel.
Now we know why the Norwegians would soak them in lye! Otherwise, they taste like peed baby diapers.
This is a blog about environmental issues in the New York area in general and Long Island Sound in particular. I'm the author of
"This Fine Piece of Water: An Environmental History of Long Island Sound," which came out in 2002. I wrote about the environment and other issues during almost two decades as a newspaper reporter.
