He had really beautiful colors, kinda wish I had a saltwater tank to keep him. Oh well, he tasted good.
Yeah, most other people used them as bait. But the only fish around Santa Monica besides mackerels are tilapia and kelpfish.
Mackerel - and yes - tasty! Especially fried up in butter whole (gutted) hours after being caught.
dont think tilapia. i think its croaker's he is catchin. hope you didnt eat those... yuck
Some tilapia species are fully capable to living in saltwater and even reproduce in saltwater. Perhaps that's why they are only fish that survived in Salton Sea.
