white bass and strippers

[lonkm]

how do you make whites taste good? I cut all red meat off and soak them in salt water and they still taste strong, are strippers good to eat? are they strong too?

[Terrierman]

Hoo boy.  Where is wrench when we need him?

[bferg]

Woof...  I can't speak to either but I can confirm Striper and Stripper are not the same thing.  I would anticipate someone here could answer the question on both accounts.  

[J.M.]

I don't like whites but like striper a lot, but you still have to cut the red off.

What about strippers?? There's one in New Orleans who probably remembers me..

[Terrierman]

To be honest, I won't put a knife on either one anymore.  Harold Ensley used to dip them in yellow mustard before seasoned corn meal and then fry.  I tried it too and still considered it a failure.

If you cut the lateral line out and still think they taste "too fishy".....then you don't like fish.  Stick to eating crappie and walleye where all you can taste is whatever you bread them with.

Or bluegill.  Or smallmouth bass.  I don't care for the texture of strippers or whites either.

If you don't like white bass then you probably won't like stripers.

Truth. I love grilled striper and spoonbill. Actually has some flavor. I think bluegill have a good flavor, too, honestly.
