Northern kingfish fishing tips

[surfrob]

I say forget filleting (unless you got a monster like rockhopper showed)... I just panfry them, after cleaning and scaling (they have tiny scales that come off easily
with a knife edge), just coat them with some old bay, inside and out... 1-2 minutes each side on a hot griddle. Pull apart just like a trout. A few small bones to watch out for, but you don't lose much meat this way.

garden worms don't hold up in the surf. I'd try them up the bay though.

Man that kingfish is huge. Biggest one I have ever seen. Thanks for sharing.

Great recipe. You're making me hungry!
