    Kind of an unexpected catch and cook on my end. Didn't expect to encounter this fish on my little trips but I have heard nothing but good things about them. I also briefly discuss the poisonous side of these fish...basically one strain has them but it still is a cultural phenomenon.
    I basically jigged 1/8 oz jigheads with assorted Gulps (shrimp & nemesis) for a standard back bay assortment of fish like snook, jacks and the puffer. The weather was going to get ugly so I made the most of this trip in a limited amount of time.
    Here is where I was lodging for this trip: sanibelislandbeachhouserental.com

    Also for anyone wondering these are Northern Puffers also known as "Sugar Toads" due to their delicious meat. Unlike other species of Puffer their meat does not contain poison.

  • @Engineer_Heathen
    @Engineer_Heathen 6 лет назад

    Man I'm so jealous. Been requesting this one for awhile. They're easy to catch, easy to clean, and easy to cook. By far my favorite fish to eat. I could eat these every day. They only have the spine down the middle, so you have huge lumps of boneless meat on each side. I'm drooling watching you eat that lol.

    I caught a half dozen nice big winter flounder fishing off a small jetty behind Ryanoids Channel during the early 1980's and hooked four nice big blowfish, I took the fish home and my late dad sautéed the flounder felts with the skinned blowfish in some olive oil and put the fish in a marinara sauce and those blowfish where just like big beautiful drumsticks with the flounder over a plate of spaghetti and those blowfish were so good you could eat the bone ! To anyone who hasn't tried sea squab and if you ever have the fortune of catching some blowfish don't hesitate to bring them home and cook em up, you just don't know what you're missing - they're so good they are to die for !!!!!

    @duff2267 6 лет назад +1

    Guess I'm really old - I didn't read all but No one here I saw said the NJ bays were filled with them in the 60s. There should be a limit on them. Back then people took home hundreds at a time. I remember when I was 10/12 my family brought home like 250. Something to be concerned about is the turtle type jaw. Yeah, if they clamp down you can have real trouble. BUT - IN THE 60s IT WAS REPORTED THAT PEOPLE GOT VERY SICK WHEN BIT DUE TO SOMETHING ON THOSE JAWS.
