Signature:

Avid lifetime sports fisherman,Caught three monkey-face prickle-backs  today two very large,cooked w/skin on in oven garlic salt and pepper generously sprinkled ! It was Absolutely Delicious! Never more will I remove the skin until after cooking,likens the skin to either freshwater trout or salmon and the back-bone pulls free just like a trout in a single piece,merely remove top and bottom sets of bony prickles,they also come off as a unit if your careful w/a common fork,It's another white meat tougher than fall apart fish,yet flakes quite well! Three Eel's fed 6 adults w/ enough extra to feed two more adult servings,Perhaps Breakfast. Another trip tomorrow/Loves the end of the year low and negative tides it allows me to fish up to waist deep,yet catch 2'4" prickle-backs w/ fat slabs of meat(Can u tell I've Always been a meat fisherman?) Why would I bother catching any critter w/the possibility of causing its death/catch and release is for under-sized fish and affluent anglers!
