Chompers said you can eat thoes plecos and something about the meat comes out of the armour.. o__o

Yep, their belly doesn't have the bony plates like on their back and sides (more like leathery plates). You gut them and then cook them whole. The meat is white & flaky and slides out of the shell.

And no, I haven't eaten one. I was going to bring one to a friends fish fry but I ended up not going.

oooh yah well its FL... all of FL is Sad when it comes to non-natives and invasives. They are well aware that they are non native they have a chart there with natives and nons. Sadly alot of FL has many non-natives species esp. aquatic wise. =[
