Sea Trout are not at the top of some folks list for tasty eating, but I have always found them a great table fish. Easy to catch, quick to clean, and good on the plate.

hands down, the best eating fish My vote goes to the hard to find Golden Tilefish.Like reeling in a engine block when on the hook but the flavor in fantastic. Most are caught in deep water "secret" spots.Caught my share of these great tasting fish. https://www.google.com/search?q=Gol...87#tbm=isch&q=Golden+Tilefish+images

Tripletail is fine eating. Forgot that one. I'd put them right about even with hogfish, maybe a bit better.

Yes fresh water drum....I wouldn't eat it either When speaking about these fish, I am referring to Gulf Coast sourced fish. Black Drum are fine, and heck, even Redfish are a member of the Drum family.

Young drum are fine.
I've had many a meals of fried specks (sea trout) and a side of cheese grits.
One of my most favorite meals.

I didn't have the heart to tell her I didn't like it, I would give it to the neighbors LOL - miss grandma alot.

Same Fish....
Freshwater Drum (Aplodinotus grunniens)
Other Names Drum Fish, Gaspergou, Gou, Sheepshead Description Aplodinotus is Greek for "single back", and grunniens is Latin for "grunting", referring to the fact that the species may be observed (or felt) making "grunting" sounds. Except for color, freshwater drum resembles its marine relative the red drum. The fish is deep-bodied and equipped with a long dorsal fin divided into two sections. The dorsal fin usually has 10 spines and 29-32 rays. Freshwater drum are silvery in color and lack the distinctive tail fin spot of red drum. Life History In Texas freshwater drum may spawn in April or May. Spawning seems to occur in open water. The eggs float until they hatch. Freshwater drum appear to be basically benthic, spending most of their time at or near the bottom. They feed primarily on fish, crayfish, and immature insects, often by rooting around in the substrate or moving rocks to dislodge their prey. The presence of heavy throat-teeth also allows them to consume mollusks to a certain extent. In Lake Erie, they have been found feeding on zebra mussels (although not nearly enough to control the zebra mussel population). Distribution Freshwater drum occurs in a variety of habitats, and is one of the most wide ranging fish latitudinally in North America. Populations can be found from Hudson Bay in the north to Guatemala in the south. East to west, the species ranges from the western slopes of the Appalachians to the eastern slopes of the Rockies. In Texas freshwater drum are ubiquitous exclusive of the Panhandle. Other Although freshwater drum is considered a rough fish by many anglers, it is prized as a food fish in some areas. Drum are also sought after as bait for other species. In Texas the rod and reel record exceeds 30 pounds, and the trotline record is 55 pounds.

That looks great Sam!!
Hey question from my sister who has to stay away from salt and sugar for 6 months. Does seafood actually contain salt as we define it? I know some shellfish such as oysters and shimp do but what about fish?? Cod, Sea Bass, Salmon etc...
She also has to keep away from farm raised fish, certain fruits, citrus, bread, onions, hot spices and hot sauce. YES hot sauce!!! It's a tough diet to follow but it's working. It would be nice , however to take the fresh ocean fish yield over chicken.
Just curious if anyone really knew for sure. The Internet is all over the place on this.
The diet is from a true Shamen in South America and she's taking it very serious. She goes back in February. Hopefully for the last time.
Thanks Gents and forgive me Sam!!

not sure about fresh water fish, but seafood has a fair amount of salt in the flesh. Shrimp and other shell fish are higher than fish, but they all have some. All meat, regardless of source, has sodium in it. Just part of the natural make up
