Snakehead in Baltimore

[duanes]

When I saw it on the True Chesapeake restaurants menu, I had to give it a taste.

I have eaten snakehead many times. I am not convinced that the flesh in that picture really is snakehead. It may be, but I thought it was banned in America anyway.

....as I understand it SH are banned for live capture and collection,they must be killed on the spot or tossed back in if caught in local waters.
I know of a nearby body of water that has been home to snakeheads for several years......probably Northern SH.

Did you see it on the bone, or was it served as chunks?

served in chunks on garlic toast with lemon butter. I'd order it again.
