They aren't bad tasting, but they are VERY bony. Yes, that's a FW Drum

Up here some sea dogs use buttermilk on Bluefish, Stripers, and Atlantic Mackerel to remove the oil. Considering it's a Drum, must be great eating, i guess compared to Redfish, Atlantic Croaker, Pacific Queenfish, Seatrout, White Seabass, or Meagre
