How you fight them from the moment they are hooked until they are bled makes a HUGE difference in food quality. When I decide to keep one, it's decided when it's hooked, not when it's landed. Crank down the drag, get it in RIGHT NOW, cut it, bleed it, straight onto the ice. Only the top two loins are kept and those are only eaten raw - cooked isn't nearly as mild.

I'll agree: take 6-10 minutes to land the thing: worth nothing more than fertilizer.

Guess You can eat anything, Remember way back when~ The 1st thing ever "Blackened" was a "RED FISH" Heck you had to season the hell out of it then Burn it to a crisp!Opossum pretty good to , just over the jowls,Coon just make sure you get the Glands & par-boil 22 min. Armodillo,I gotta great way to cook them if Ya want to hear(No pot needed)! Oh yea, I once ate a Raw "Crawfish"! I think maybe the "turkey" cooked it when they met. I think the Only thing you can eat raw is oysters & anything that looks like em' Bon' Temp'

Well, we can get blackfin's here no problem, so we see no reason to eat the tunny. They do fight extremly well, like any tuna, Ive caught a 13 lbr, on an 8lb outfit!

On the Vineyard they are almost always referred to as False Albacore or "Albies". "Little Tunny" sounds grandfatherly. No one I know eats them but I like Bonito on the grill just fine. Funny thing is, up here, "Bones" are Bonito, 'cause we don't have Bonefish. It's still Dolphin though.
