Had variety for dinner last night. Three puffers, a porgy and a trigger.

We have been wanting to try puffer for some time. Took three home. They are like a fish drumstick once cleaned. Just have the backbone with two large filets on each side. I coated them with cornstarch and fried them. The trigger and porgy were standard flour, egg, and seasoned panko. Served with green beans with brown butter and garlic. Also some potstickers (store bought only). The puffer is fantastic. very meaty and great flavor. Going to be hard to let those guys go.

how big was that trigger?  I have been wanting to try them for a while but its either not in season or too small every time I go

We didn't measure it but I would estimate around 13 to 14 inches in length. In NJ they are not a regulated species and do not have size limits. They are an excellent tasting fish.

They do. They are such a hit or miss species. There are likely folks out there that can consistently catch them, but for us they seem to be pretty hit or miss. I'm actually more inpressed on how much we like the puffers, which are much more common. They are going to be a more targeted species when we want fresh fish.
