How to properly prepare the immortal porgy....

[Capt Sal]

When i grew up in the fifties and sixties and fished with my grand father and father it was strictly for the table. Numero uno were porgies. Second were whiting. Third were ling and so on. I still eat porgies and they are fun to catch and great for kids and novice anglers. I fillet mine. They are great in the smoker also . Appreciate what we have. Why do yo think they used to run porgie specials in Montauk because they taste like Sh---t ?

It honestly bothers you that some people don’t find certain fish tasty?

No it bothers me that people run boats for a living and sponsor this site. He might convince people not to fish for them because they taste bad in his opinion. He should post something positive or nothing at all. Why do you think the the charter and party boat Capts. Do not respond to these Posts ?? Because they do not not want to be involved in something that might cost them customers ! I don't care and i am retired and i know i am out spoken. What you see is what you get. Do you fish for and eat porgies? Do you bring the kids out for a fun day on the water? Do you catch blues for fun? Do you eat any or release them all ? Do you smoke Fish? Do you you think NJ has opportunity and multiple species of fish for every different type of angler? Do you release all of your Stripers? I only kept a couple each year for the farmer who let me hunt his land. All good catch catch my drift ? We have a great fishery in NJ and enough negativity in this world !!! A MEN !

NJ is a great fishery. Never said it wasn't.. When I can, I too patronize party boats, and enjoy fishing on them, and greatly appreciate how hard the captains and crews work to get some fish for their clients... That being said, there ARE some fish that are better eating than others.. WHY is that such a problem for you?..
If some guys love Porgies, or Sea Robins, or False Albacore, or Chum Mackerel, who CARES if someone else isn't crazy about them???.. thats what makes the world go around.. Differing opinions are a good thing, and are certainly not negative... Like Porgies?.. Great catch and eat all you can find... Some guys will enjoy their day on the party boat, keep a few, give some away, and be happy with that. It simply does NOT affect you in any way.

So you think njfishing is and should be just a mouthpiece of the charter/party boat fleet, and that Bob shouldn't broadcast that he possess a more - ahem - sophisticated palate than most?

Lmfao. Chemtrail Bob vs Grumpy Sal - normally a wash for me but in this case you are being a bigger clown than usual.

"Sophisticated palate".. Well, I DO like Aldi's Spaghetti and Meatballs in a can[$.67!], so there's that.
Just think there are better tasting fish than scup is all,, they are not bad, just that some others are better.. Not sure why that humble observation caused such a shit storm..
As to this section being a forum exclusively for party boat reports, its not and never was, although they of course are a substantial,neccessary and well appreciated part of it, and I realize they help pay the bills here, and many of us don't.

Says so right at the top of the page, and I have seen Gerry mention as much in other similar discussions over the years that turned into pissing contests as this one has.
