Re: Who eats sheepshead?
I had to reply to this post. I know a few others who read the posts here know more about this than I do. I don’t expect them to comment, for reasons they know and I respect.
This is a fishing report forum.
On this forum, if you are going to post scientific information, include your source.
“Lake Erie - Freshwater Drum - 40,000 PFAS, 5,000 - Catfish, 11,380 - Perch !!!”
Where did that come from?
Fish eating consumption advisories are posted by State Agencies. Look them up.
Freshwater Drum, usually called sheepshead around Ohio, may not be as tasty as walleye or yellow perch, but they are certainly edible. Freshness and cooking determine how well they taste to any individual person. If you want to find out, pretty easy. Next time you catch a decent size one (say 12-14 inches) toss it in the cooler with the walleye. Clean it, keep it separate from the walleye and prep / cook next time you serve walleye. Judge for yourself.
