How are these fished prepaired and are they good table fare?

I kept one once. I didn't like it and I eat a lot of fish. They say it tastes like veal but I don't eat veal so I wouldn't know. They fight great and are fun to catch but I would not keep another one.

Awesome smoked-cuts & texture like canned ham and tastes great

i liked mine as drum fish parm, grilled, and really liked the puppy drums smoked

we had a piece on Thurs from a fish caught on Wednesday...pan fried and very good. It was difficult to tell the difference between the drum and the striper...sounds crazy but true

Is there anywhere one can purchase drum? My father in law keeps asking me where he can buy some.

Cut as much of the red or dark meet off. Then cut into stripes like chicken. Get a good breadcrumb mix and fry it. You will end up cutting a lot of dark meet off but what is left is very good.

cut chunks, beer batter and fry in the turkey fryer. good stuff.

First.. get yourself a chainsaw or a sawsall...

Then leave a filet out in the sun for an hour and watch it come alive...

Then throw the rest of them you catch back...

I do believe that Capt Tates gets it every once in a while. They are on Rt 47 in Dennisville. 609 861 4001

Cut small chunks about the size of a golf ball and dip them in egg and breadcrumbs. Deep fry them until golden brown and use your favorite sauce, cocktail or tarter, they taste great!

I always prepared it like pork. Marinate the hell out of it in Italian dressing or bbq sauce and grill it. Either way it is good. I cokked it for a huge party one year and it was a hit.
