I have yet to eat one, but I understand they taste as good or better than stripers.

"tasting better than striper" aint hard to do IMO!

Great job on catching and cooking the Potomac Pike.... I cannot wait until I catch my first one.

Depends on their size and how you prepare them, Metro- I had a nice meal the other day at Bobby Vanns Grill in DC with Rockfish that was delicious- Big Rockfish are way too strong- fishy tasting for me-

We were wire line trolling the CBBT several years back on a cold December night and I caught a 43 pounder- it wasn't fit to eat- tasted like HD-30 motor oil- yuck!

I hear ya. They are bland IMO. I had one rockfish dish that I liked. Buffalo Rockfish. Battered, fried, & coated in buffalo sauce.

So I guess its good when you try to make it taste like other things lol!

Sorry, don't mean to hijack. The General Tsos Snakehead looks delicious and well prepared. I've made chinese food before...lots of prep time!

Jacko looks good man... hey is anyone else concerned about eating potomac river fish?

Not as much from the upper Mattawoman Creek- it has it's own source of fresh water. I wouldn't eat any fish caught within ten miles of the city- and I wouldn't eat more than a meal of bottom fish every two weeks-

Certain fish hold more pollutants than others- like Catfish.
