So I can cross "witness a sucker orgy" off the bucket list.  |
They make great fish balls. Just put the filleted meat in a grinder machine with your favorite spices, fresh parsley, a little fresh garlic, soy sauce, dijon or hot mustard. Then make fish balls and roll them in italian bread crumbs. Fry them in peanut oil or canola oil. Delicious! But once the water gets over 72 degrees their meat gets too soft to use.
