  • I began this taste test with one question on my mind... can you eat lizard fish? I have never known anyone to ever try and eat a lizard fish so I was pretty nervous going into this taste and see adventure. Check out the video to see if I was able to stomach the ugliest species of inshore fish.

    I've been eating fish that no one else will even try, theres not really much you cant eat because of taste, I've been eating lizard fish for years, oyster toad fish are great broiled in butter, puffers one of the best, even fresh water fish that others wont touch are found on my table. Great videos.

    Love your channel and especially these taste test videos. I catch big lizzard fish every time I go out and never even thought about keeping one until now! Seriously, who woulda ever thought the "preachers prick" was as good as flounder?

    You should buy the biggest lure you can find and try and catch a fish

    Just goes to show that some "trash fish" may be called trash fish because they are so small. As you pointed out, many lizard fish we catch are quite small and it would take many of them to make a meal for a family. Thanks so much for the video and the great information!

    I live in Cali and eat Lizard fish when I catch them. Vietnamese people stew them in sweet and sour sauce and black pepper to eat with white rice, delicious! great video by the way.

    We were in Panama City last weekend and caught some nice reds with the biggest 39". In the morning the wind was bad though and we stayed in the bay, but we were catching a ton of trout with some lizard fish mixed in. We didn't know we were throwing back such a good tasting fish haha. I am looking forward to a ladyfish taste test from you in the future. Back in our September trip we caught a bunch, and I had heard they were a good cut bait for reds so let's give it a try. Never caught anything on them, but I was surprised at how the meat looked so white and did not smell.

  • @tdfsu1
    @tdfsu1 7 лет назад +2

    OK, I had to know for myself so I kept a large lizardfish this past weekend. I don't think I share the same opinion of it as you. I found the texture to be really weird. It crumbled into what felt like a thousand tiny bits in my mouth. The flavor was not bad, but the texture was yuck. And the bones. Oh my goodness the bones. I've never seen a fish with so many bones. Even after performing meticulous surgery on the fillets, which were a beautiful white BTW, I still managed to get a mouth full of tiny bones. It seemed like there were three sets of pin bones that ran the entire length of the fish. Luckily for me though I had a grill full of big black seabass that we caught on the trip. Anyway, love the videos, especially the taste tests!

    I like this series! I ate my first lizard fish about 10 years ago, in my quest to try anything once. I did not skin the filet. my experience was not pleasant. The first bite was promising, but the second bite had a strong ammonia finish, worse than improperly prepared shark. I regularly clean and pressure can little tuny, and think fresh small bluefish is one of the best tasting fish in the water. My pallette is definitely not delicate. I'll have to give the lizard another try maybe.

    Fish are usually better than their reputation I think. They get demoted for being hard to clean or yielding little meat or being too bony. The truly "bad" tasting fish are a rarity. And probably even a true undesirable could be made palatable with proper preparation.
