Bless your heart foxkidd44, but tuna and salmon should be considered rough fish in my opinion. When the wife fixes either one in the house, I need to leave the house. I can't get past the strong, rotten fish odor. Now if you can make it turn out like rock bass or mahi mahi... Mahi mahi . . . IMO the best eating fish out there.

Are those jumping Asian carp ok to eat? the culinary association got them renamed silver-fin and now serve them as such in restaurants.

I just caught a Freshwater Drum aka Sheepshead Saturday , I didn't have a way to keep it, but I looked it up when I got home and it looks like a very interesting fish and like it may be a decent eating fish. as long as we are talking rough fish anybody eat Drum?

I have. They are best caught in early spring out of cold water. Still ok though in summer. Have to trim a lot a lot of red meat off them.

I ran into the dad of one of my All Purpose Boy's old school chums, the guy had just returned from a Walleye outing (Saginaw Bay or Detroit River???)and told me the fishing for Walleye was so-so, but that he'd caught a bunch of "Sheepshead", as a bunch of Michigan folks call them. I asked if he eats them and he said he loved them smoked. Two days later he dropped off a couple smoked to perfection. It was delicious. I won't toss back any if I catch them. They are not found in most of the inland lakes here, but the Great Lakes and connecting waters teem with them.

I caught this one on the Wisconsin river upper dells , from shore while I was eating my lunch on Blackhawk Island , the Island is closed to the public owned by the University of Wisconsin it is for research and education projects but my son and I were there helping with a mussel study. very interesting the Fresh water drum is the host fish of a a few Mussels. The Mussel biologist we were working with thinks the drum are eating the Zebra Muscles that were attaching themselves to Pimple-Back mussels we saw several of the pimple back that had been attached to and eaten off and one that was still attached. last time I caught a sheepshead was in Sturgeon Bay WI about 1993. I would be up for catching more and would like to try frying some up.

my son and I went fishing with my dad Friday , his boat is on lake Michigan but the wind had kicked up NNE after midnight and waves were up to around 6 feet , so we fished the river and harbor , and picked up a nice sheepshead.
I filleted it up and tonight we had rainbow trout and sheepshead fish fry .
I did do a 30 minute milk soak on the sheepshead , but the wife compared it to fried catfish at a restaurant and ate 2-3 peices and really liked it.
very mild flavor not fishy or smelly.
I had cut off the meat below the ribs keeping any of the white flesh above the blood line
she was presented with 3 beer battered pieces of fish tried each and decided which one she liked not knowing which was which and she choose the sheepshead.
