Sheephead


Recommended Posts

i have a pal that swears they are good i have yet to try his theory. but im guess in like white bass, if you remove any red colored meat and remove any mud line,(if sheephead have them) they would be ok as they are a predator as well as a bottom feeder. i just have to get over the "its not good because nobody eats them" thinking. Im glad i did for the whitebass as they are tastey little things

I read an article from don't remember where. They claimed Sheephead next to Walleye in a blind taste test was not noticed by the participants. Get some buddies and give it a try.

It is true! I have tried sheephead and I would reccommend it to anyone. Search in online, and in the great Minnesota fish book they also talk about the sheepheads eating quality. You do have to set all judgements aside.

Sheephead are good to eat, down here they are called drum perch. I have caught many on throw lines in the Missouri River when I was younger with my grandfather. Also that hump on top of the head can be cracked open and there are calcium stones in there not to be morbid it was just something the "Old Swede" showed me.
