Cuisine & Edibility
Banane de mer
Edible but extremely bony flesh; rarely consumed as table fare in modern sport fishing. Almost exclusively caught-and-released; the species is prized for its fighting ability, not flavor.
Smallmouth Bass
Clean, white, mildly flavored flesh with low fat; considered slightly firmer and more flavorful than largemouth bass. Excellent pan-fried or baked; a respected table fish in the Great Lakes region.
Species Overview
Banane de mer
The bonefish is the premier shallow-water flats species, prized by fly fishers for its blistering initial run. Found in tropical shallows worldwide, it feeds by rooting in sand and marl for crustaceans and mollusks.
Smallmouth Bass
The smallmouth bass is widely considered the best-fighting freshwater fish pound-for-pound. Found in clear, rocky streams and lakes, it is more athletic and acrobatic than its larger cousin, the largemouth bass.
