we filleted these bad boys out, then cut into smaller more managable size pieces. Fry broil grill what ever only thing is, you have to check the meat for worms or deposits and cut them out.

Also, when the school is under your boat, you can hear the fish blowing bubbles or something. Not bad to eat taste like whatever you season em with
