Fishing is my job for now lol, a bit of down time but hopefully that will change soon!
Snakehead is a firm white flakey fish, like the sunfish family but better as they are not as earthy. the reason why some people say bass are tasty and some are not is because they taste exactly how they smell. This is the case for sunfish and crappies, but as you can see, crappies like to suspend in open water rather than hang under muck and dirty waters to ambush.
Most Americans would just fillet and fry it as fish nuggets. I do have an old video frying some with the Louisiana Fish Fry.. very good! I'll probably do that again but with an air fryer and bringing sauce into the video
Asians would make soup out of it or throw that thing on fire... like without prepping lol. i have seen it with my own eyes! then they just break open the armor scale/skin and then remove the meat and dip it in w.e sauce they want. i think cooking it this way keeps the moisture in as it does look moisty
It is not an oily fish at all, far from that!
