Redfish, drum, and gar. All of those are some fine eating for someone that knows their way around a kitchen. If you dont want them "trash fish" i'll take em. You can come to dinner if ya want bro.

Substitute bull drum or bull redfish for chicken.

yep, in my mind trash fish means carp, caspergoo, or sheepshead (SH only because it takes a 10 lb fish to get 2lbs of meat)

Gaspergou are a freshwater drum, closely related to black drum and redfish. Fish of comparable size are not that different on the table.

It was very good in this recipe with the oriental seasonings.

I don't think I'd like it as a variation on more common "fried fish" recipes.

well for whatever reason unlike drum the goo has a rubbery texture if cut thick but sliced very thin its ok but you have to bite into and it wont fall apart easily like fish.

with goo I cut it into 3/8 to 1/2" cubes and it makes great coobeeyon (not even a clue how to spell it lol) but I don't cook it like a fish because it has a chewiness to it like fish bellies.

now i'll eat the heck out of redfish and speck bellies along with the rib cages, just cant see wasting anything

Bull redfish and drum also acquire the rubbery texture, which is why our family likes them so much as a substitute for chicken in many dishes. The texture ends up like chicken, but the fish absorbs much more of the applied seasonings that don't really penetrate well when chicken is used.
