I have had whiting, pomps, and black drum. What else would be a fish to keep?

I doubt you will see many in the surf, but I really like Sailcats. Some would probably say I am nuts, but when cleaned soon after catching, just like you would a freshwater catfish, they are fine table fare. Rolled in cornmeal and fried, I will take them just as I would a freshwater cat.

Not to be confused with the Hardhead catfish which are thick in the surf.

I would say any fish is good if you know how to cook it. I remember when I was just a kid in the mid 60's and we returned to the dock in Mississippi from an offshore trip. We had killed the Kings and also had a few sharks. We were gonna can the sharks when and old man sitting by the cleaning table said "ya'll throwing away your best fish". Well we cleaned them and he was right. However I prefer sheepshead and trigger and a small grouper or AJ on the grill. As far as fried I like a fresh mullet or spanish. I'm talking about caught cleaned and fried that day.
