Puffer Fish
« on: May 16, 2011, 10:02:34 AM »
Caught two puffer fish on Saturday.  Have to admit as a rookie had no idea what to make of them.

Saw a couple of posts where guys mentioned  being happy to get a bunch on board.

Question is what value are they?  Should I be keeping them for something?  I was surprised for a small mouth how much bait they swallowed!

They are good eating, but you need a decent amount to be worth eating...sort of like crabs!

Ok thnaks so much. Is there a minimum size to consider when keeping any?  What's the best way to clean them, small filets?

Two strips down the back. Dozen more and you got yourself a box of fishsticks.
