Made my second trip to the pier and still no kings. Oh, well I had a great time last Friday. Saturday I decided to surf fish so I could hang with the family. I caught 4 nice Pomps, a small cobia (which I didn't think you wold catch in the trough on shrimp and pomp rig) and a slender black and white striped fish that looked as if it had a fossil imprint on top of its head. Does anyone know what type of fish that is? I have never seen one before.
Did you eat it? ???
Hey Wilson, don't knock it until you try it. They are one hell of a lot better eating than mackerel.
Rather eat king over Remora any day..Do i wanna ask how you know? http://www.freesmileys.org/smileys/s...aughing021.gif
Let's just say I had heard they were good and a friend who has eaten them before had some cooked up for us and it was really good.
Bet them things can pull a vacuum on the smooth surfaces inside yo cooler!
May need a putty knife to get ‘em loose.
You can eat remora, and it does taste "slightly" similar to a cobia. I have eaten it on two occasions in the past.
Only problem is I have never found one where at least 25%+ of the meat wasn't deeply infested with yellow grubs or tape worms.
Think I'll pass unless I find one clean from the parasitic communities, and even then only because it was large and fatally hooked.
Really? Eat a remora!
Thats the only fish I ever seen the sabiki brigade ever refuse to take at Navarre pier.

That oughta tell you all you need to know.
Don't knock it until you try it. Heck in some countries Cigs are considered a treat.
Knock yourself out. You can have my share cause homey don't eat no wormy fish.
Do you eat Amberjack?
[size=12pt] Remora’s Importance for Humans: “The remora is of unique value to humans. The fish itself is not generally eaten, but is instead used as a means of catching large fish and sea turtles. Fishermen in countries around the world use them by attaching a line to their tails and then releasing them. The remora will then swim off and attach itself to a large fish or turtle, which can then be pulled in by a careful fisherman. The remora is not held in high esteem as a food fish, although the Australian aborigines are said to eat them after using them on fishing trips. On the other hand, aborigines from the West Indies never ate their "hunting fish" and instead sang songs of praise and reverence to them.”

The ancient Greeks and Romans had written widely about Remoras and had ascribed to them many magical powers such as the ability to cause an abortion if handled in a certain way. Shamans in Madagascar to this day attach portions of the Remora's suction disk to the necks of wives to assure faithfulness in their husband’s absence.

Remoras are used to kill sea turtles? Even more reason to kill them all.
On the abortion thing. "If handled in a certain way." Did they use the suction head to suck the fetus out like a plunger? Is that what that means?
