Sea Robins to eat ?
« on: July 05, 2007, 03:57:42 PM »
I'm going to be honest with everyone, I kept 1 sea robin yesterday just to see how it was, and it wasnt that bad. Is there something wrong with this fish? LOL

Not bad when used in a chowder. Can also be pan fried as we did with blowfish many years ago. You're just using the tail meat. Not as sweet as blowfish but still very palatable.
Could be the next trendy fish if they ever come up with a catchy sounding name.(Monkfish,Sea Squab,etc.) Think the public would buy a monkfish if they ever saw the whole fish?  Bon Appetite!

I tried one last week...pan seared with some olive oil and red pepper flakes. Not bad at all. Might be heresy to say this, but I would put it in the same taste class as striped bass and weakfish for my tastes...a solid second tier on the taste ladder. Slight fishy-ness to it but not over powering like bluefish. You're not going to mistake it for fluke or halibut(but then what does)?

I have eaten dogfish, but never tried a sea robin. Sea robin belly is excellent fluke & weakfish bait, much better than squid, and the only thing that beats sea robin belly is weakfish belly as a strip bait.

You don't waste any of a nice weakfish at all when you cut the belly for a strip bait.

What I do is, I turn the fish on his back, and make a cut right behind the fins, just down to where the white belly meat meets the fillet. Then turn the knife sideways, and cut parralel to the backbone down to the anus for your belly strip. Now you can fillet the fish and you haven't wasted anything at all. The rib cage and belly meat is cut off a properly prepared fillet anyways, thats where all the fatty tissue is, and is generally not eaten(not by me anyways).
