Sea Robin fish filets?

[Duncan Idaho]

I have been asked to keep Sea Robins this year for a chef friend that wants to experiment cooking methods with them. Normally I keep them for one of my dockside neighbors for his lobster pots or I may use one if I run out of bait. I have heard they are showing up in restaurants. Has anybody tried them?

I’ve cooked sea robin tails. They have the same consistently of lobster tail/sea bass/monkfish. You can poach them (think garlic/wine sauce), filet them and dredge in seasoned flour and give them a quick fry or slice them and drop into a tomato broth like a bouillabaisse.

There's a guy with a YT channel who regularly catches and cooks trash fish. Says they're good eating. Just cut out the bloodline.

Any toddler can make a decent Sea Robin fish filet.

Oh I already overused it years ago I'm sure:

God knows that I hate these threads and I simply could not have less regard for any of your opinions, but has anyone installed a quartz composite sink? We just threw the kitchen away because my mom's dog once peed in it and I'm considering putting a new kitchen in the hole where the old one was...

Any toddler can bait and kill a Southern Pacific rattlesnake. Probably. All the other rattlers have no respect for the Southern Pacific.

Tradition is an integral part of the boneyard.

Ever since they did Fiddler on the Roof at our local high school I can't hear that word without immediately thinking of this:

They are commonly used in the French dish bouillabaisse.
tasty and boney. butter basted, salt, and pepper over an open fire is my preference, but pan fried is right fine, too.

Those don't count. Not seafood.

I can’t I just can’t. Even the lobsters don’t like them.

Used to catch a million fishing blacks, flounder and porgy. Hell I have more use for the million skates I pull up. ( excellent on water frisbees / skimming stones)

Boy I haven't fished for flounder in long time. Nowadays only a limit of two. Always picked up Cunners fishing for flats with sand worms. FYI, the commercial guys are now allowed to take much larger limits on Seabass.They weren't taking all that much but now it will be more in line with neighboring states. Among other reasons they have become too large of a predator population. Also circle hooks only for stripers when using a baited line. Easier on the fish and fishermen when removed?

Roast over an open fire with pimento sticks. Will char like hell but very crispy.

For sure.

I think I finally figured this thread out. Sea Robin isn't a brand like Gorton's, it's the actual name of a fish.
