Re: Diving with Jewfish
I noticed you took spear guns, pole spears, lobster nets down on the dive but came back Empty. Hmmm, wonder why there were no fish or lobster on the wreck?

Re: Diving with Jewfish
Yeah, I was probably a little overly optimistic.

Re: Diving with Jewfish
Are they ever going to allow you to shoot Jewfish? Or are they not good to eat?

Re: Diving with Jewfish
They're good to eat...according to what I've heard from the 'ole timers.

Re: Diving with Jewfish
I am an 'ole timer that has eaten Jewfish back in the day. They always tasted like Grouper to me

I still think their spawning aggregations are worth seeing. Your question reminded me of this old video when my buddy shot one right in front of me. https://youtu.be/Zc_FJx3Rx5Q

Re: Diving with Jewfish
Sorry about the size, no good at posting pictures. These are obviously Blacks. The difference in taste between blacks and jews is about like red grouper vs gag, yea, very little. As you can see, the jews in the film were quite a bit larger than these blacks, and these blacks were no good to eat, I would never shoot another of this size. The smaller blacks / jews are better eating, the smaller the better. Its hard to describe, but the meat is divided by a tough membrane, which is not something you want to try and eat. With more effort you can fillet the fish, and then cut out the meat between the membranes, allot of work for a not so rewarding taste. |
