Lunch in Spain with an ice cold glass of Albarino
 

Amigo Josh! I like deep fry Anchovy ( Camiguana ) and cold beer, very common in bars in South America.

“¡Che! ¿Qué pasó ?

Cool post
 

Thanks for recipes. Good to learn them n hear people enjoying them. I tried straight PAC Mac raw one time. I was cutting for bait, I was hungry n it looked good. Was not too much a fan but maybe I should try again w a recipe.

More reasons to eat these fish...
High concentrations of efa's n lower concentations of mercury - healthy.
Shorter life cycles than large fish so much more sustainable for harvest (Hubbs won't need to start a hatchery).

Keep in mind that bft used to be considered bycatch -now most xpnsiv fish in world. I agree it has a lot to do w what we're taught is delicious, how fish is cared for (I love pix of people filleting fish on hot concrete in mid afternoon!) n how it's prepared. Those pix of Spanish macs look pretty appetizing.

Hey j mo! che is from Argentina, in Venezuela we say pana; and once again thanks for the :wsb: pics, next is going to be my 60 lbs YT:)

Lo, Siento Leo!

Lets do it, as YT im certain taste better than bait fish.....

hahaha, more meat less bones?;)

I have had several types of "bait fish" over the years.

I take them and simply gut them, dip them in soy sauce, and them toss them into the smoker.

My better half is filipino and we eat just about anything as far as seafood goes, so we have no shame in dining on what some may refer to as "bait"

Some of the best fish I have ever had has been "bait" from the smoker!!;)

I'm all for trying different kind of food. Even had fried cricket once. Let's just say it tasted better than they look. But, raw horse tongue?!?! I guess that's the closest thing to french kissing a horse? :eek::eek:

Obviously sardines are commonly smoked and canned in oil or tommato sauce and I eat them with crackers all the time and anchovie is great on pizza. Not for everyone but I like it. The bones on the small "bait fish" are so brittle when cooked the just crumble

Pretty damn close!

But tongue is actually one of the best parts on bodies of some animals. Pork tongue, cow, horse... All good. Great balance of fat and muscles.

Corned Beef tongue ......ummmmmm
