Has anyone cooked and eaten a Snakehead?

I know they are cherised in the Orient and was wondering if you can tell me how they taste.

Like chicken?????

I ate a few pieces that were batter dipped yesterday in some mixture. It was good, clean white meat without a strong flavor .....but....knowing where some of these are caught would keep me from eating this. The mental assassination of a crappy canal with a shopping cart and industrial spill off running into it and food don't work for me. Maybe if you catch your own out of a clean lake or something but Im not frying up any muck fish unless theres a financial reason or life and death. Id still probably go to the pier before that happened

Pretty darn good, Sam. Fry em up! Like Diggy mentioned though; I don't think I'd eat them on a regular basis knowing what's in some of the canals down here.

Im practicing catch and release with these now. Im not a killer of fish unless its for the tourney where I know someone will eat them later. Ill just let them back into the water with one eye

He was skeet reesing it with his buddy, both had black n yellow poles with live targets on the line. I introduced them to the booyahs which I think theyll try out.

I got to use one of those JD frogs and ended up missing a big fish because I decided to use a swimbait hook. The weight stopped the tip of the hook from passing the recessed area on the JD frog. I would have probably hooked that fish with my normal frogs with the same hook or using the regular hook with the JD frog. Its my fault because the jd frogs are much heavier and I was using that hook to add casting distance that I didnt need.

^oh ok cause that kid is master minded with his bow. But yea booyahs guys half the price an same quality .

You arent lying, his vid on youtube is how I recognized who he was...both he and his friend were cool...

Does he ever wear shoes lol?

I honestly dont know but im sure he always footing it. More.comfortable. Lol my bro an nephew met the kid they said he was really cool as well.

Wow I wish I had shown up just to see what everyone brought in!
