Looks like crap...
Not fresh - poorly handled
I’d rather eat a fresh Bergall or sea robin or anything I caught and know where it’s been

I wouldn't feed those to feral cats.

Bergall is delicious. One of my favorite fish to eat.

Last year I was out on a trip and began catching large bergalls (12-14 inches). I kept a few, and you are right. Delicious!

Majority of that will just go bad and be tossed into the dumpster.

If you fillet them from just aft the rib cage back to the tail, you don't have to mess with bones, you get a nice thumb size chunk of meat.:)
:cool: The grand authority of Sea Food has spoken!;)

Wouldn't buy them like others have mentioned but those aren't the sizes that bother me. It's the 18" to 20" prime sizes being sold to restaurants that are drawing greater market prices and killing the fishery. This time of year commercial operators aren't traveling further distances off shore to harvest 15" fish. Most fish that size end up white side up on the ocean's floor for lobsters to feed on.

We get large ones when cod and seabass fishing outta Montauk. 1.5 to 2+ lb variety. I berated my father one trip for throwing a nice one back. Lol. Now if I'm aboard he asks prior to release.

I make them scampi style in the broiler. Hands down better than blackfish, more texture and flavor than cod.
