So, a spotted trout tastes better (okay, different) than a bluegill.
I eat both. The bream just taste like freshwater fish and the spotted trout taste like fish.
Background: I literally grew up on the Cooper River. I was given a 14 foot boat with a 5 1/2 HP Evinrude just before my 12th birthday Sarge let me keep it chained on the bank at his place. All I had to do to run the river was ride my bike a half mile, jump in and go - I did this a lot, every day in the summer. I know the Cooper to the point I even recognize the smell. I'm like a little, baby Salmon that knows his home waters just because the smell is so unique and familiar.
The only alligator I've killed came from those same waters. He tastes like the Cooper River.
If I'm looking for one to eat, would I be better off focusing on the Intercoastal or Cape Romain area next time?
