Fish Throats

[el gallo]

Yes they are good, I have actually filleted the meat off and battered and deep fried em. Tastes like chicken, haha. You can even do it with trout not just redfish, goes good with a cold beer. I like to use mesquite wood to cook it

Many years ago while fishing on Capt. Elliots Party Boat (When you could keep 10 snapper) at the dock I would watch this oriental lady pickup all the fish heads after the "Fillet" guys were done. I thought the lady was making some kind of soup or stew, so I asked and her husband showed me how he removed the throats from those Snapper heads... I could not believe all the meat that was left behind...

Never again... we keep all the throats of our big fish now...

You gotta admit, throats are an acquired taste. There are some bones and cartilage and you have to work on it like a bluecrab.

I prefer mine fried, even though that isn't as good for ya, and hardly no spices either. Red snapper throats is some of the best meat you'll ever taste. I put it up there with deer backstrap and yellowfin tuna.

Extree point for slow smoking your rib meat and throats, too, although tails I ain't got much use. And eyeballs - forget it pilgrim, I ain't eating them thangs!

Yan. I've had red fish throats...there ok but whats even better is fish head soup!
I particulary enjoy sucking the eyes out of the head and the satisfying pop slurp that accompanys the manuevere.

"Saltwater Quail" grilled over mesquite coals, some fine eating.

I just cook the throats on the half-shell like red fish.
