Y HOLA IT'S SLIME TIME?????

Local guys seem to be fishing bird schools around the horse shoe area, fish are said to be of decent size to 9lbs. that's a fun time on a 8-9ft rod and a tady 45 or C. For anyone who hasn't tried it, bled out and iced cuda make awesome sashimi. Seriously tastes just like spanish Mac from the sushi bar. Scallions and ponzu and you are in business.

Barracuda sashimi, you are one brave dude. I have a hard enough time eating it cooked or smoked.

Trust me, as long as you bleed and ice it right away it's great. same with bonita. sitting in the sack all day in the hot sun for even 5 -10 minutes ruins the fish.

i'll have to try that for a cooking segment sometime....

Gawd, I would love a good recipe.... sushi, or cooked! I've tried for several years but have never found anything worth a damn for keeping Barracuda.
Fun to catch, but smoked, cooked, raw....nothing works for these "slimers"

[Opee]

Bleed them, ice them, filet and take off the skin, cut out the dark meat under the skin.

Soak the filets in milk in the refer overnight.

Dip in egg, then Panko. Fry them.....good stuff

Skip the retired cook on Freelance would whip up some eggs, dip cuda
chunks in egg then Italian Bread Crumbs and grill. I've used the same
for Ling, Reds, Yellowtail, as well as cuda, although been few years
since I fished for them. I cook with a little Canola or Olive Oil. Ummm
Damn tasty way to cook cuda!

Make sure to bleed it immediately and keep it cool (not roasting in the sun like most sportboats), and then make sure to cut out every bit of red bloodline.

Soak the fillet strips in a ziplock with Newman's Italian dressing overnight. Grill on the BBQ and it's delicious

Thanks for the heads up,
