Triggerfish... Learn about them here...
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Triggerfish
Turns out they are pretty AND delicious. Who knew? When I lived in Florida, I would see them while diving all the time. Never thought they were any good to eat.
So, we are in Florida this week visiting my parents. We went out on a "party boat" fishing charter. Caught 5 of them, Queen variety. The mate, the captain and several of the paying passengers gave several recipies on how to prepare them. They call them the "poor mans lobster" due to their texture and flavor.
O....M....G....
I fried some and broiled some with butter, Old Bay, salt and pepper. Fried... Well, it was fried fish. It was good. Broiled... WOW. Quite possibly the best broiled fish I have ever had.
Any body ever have it before? It is GOOD. Yet, I have never seen it on menus.
