Cuisine & Edibility
Blue Marlin
Firm, mildly flavored meat with moderate fat; often used in Hawaii as smoked marlin or grilled steaks. A prized sport catch; consumption is moderate due to Vulnerable status.
Brook Trout
Delicate, sweet flesh with a nutty, mild flavor; low fat and fine texture. One of the most prized freshwater eating fish in North America — best pan-fried simply in butter with herbs.
