sheep head

[ebijack]

I know a few guys who smoke them and say they are great. the meat is not firm enough for me to do a fishboil. a friend from ohio says he grew up eating sheephead. but he doesn't eat them anymore but did like them as a kid. guess you'll just have to try a few recipes to know for sure. and I don't need more fish guts for my compost as the walleye supply enough.

They are great smoked. Stop in CheeseHaven and I'm sure they go for at least $10/lb.

They also have a value to the lake. They eat Zebra muscles, gobies, white perch and other invasive species and their fry provide food to walleye, bass, perch etc.

Let your conscience be your guide.
