One that I cannot wrap my mind around is how in the southeast mainland we consider Chubs the ultimate trash fish. In Hawaii, though, chubs (nuenue) are considered a score and even eaten raw in poke
I've never tried it nor known anyone who has, but heard the meat looks and smells bad. When I see pictures of it on the hawaaiin pages and forums it looks dark and mushy but not as bad as floridians had described it to me
I don't touch 'em personally. But perhaps they are products or their environments. What I mean is that maybe their quality of food in this region is lesser than that of the Hawaiian islands. I'm no scientist so this is strictly personal speculation.
I've heard that spade fish are good to eat in other parts. I've never shot one for the simple fact that they don't look like they have much meat on their bones.
