Cuisine & Edibility
Bonefish
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.
Northern Snakehead
Firm, white flesh with a mild flavor and low fat; valued in Asian cuisines, especially in soups and steamed preparations. An invasive species in North America where removal is encouraged.
Species Overview
Bonefish
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.
