i did. they are good. I fried them in fish fry batter. you have to eat them hot though... once they cool off the shell isnt as crunchy and can get stuck in your throat.

 

So the shell is soft when hot off the fryer? I hate crunchy shells but may just have to try them when we see the big ones this summer.

 

Y'all can have them, just pass me the pompano.

 

lol, I was thinking the same thing except my choice of fish is Poke Aku
(Hawaiian food, ya all can google it)

 

yeah pompano sounds better....andrew zim....loves to eat cock and balls from any animal !!!..anything that sounds like flea,,makes me mad..and the asians will eat anything also....try eating real crab...its alot better

 

and the asians will eat anything also

WOW... Really guy?

Right out of the fryer they are like a fried soft shell crab. almost like the texture of popcorn shrimp. I ate the ones that are a little bit smaller... ate one of the golf ball sized ones and it was like eating a small crab flavored apple. They are good, give them a shot. If you dont like them use them as bait.

 

ill admit, im chinese.
and have eaten them.

they are a pretty tasty snack when deep fried, a mix between popcorn shrimp and s/s crabs.
like the guys said before. should be served warm out of fryer.

maybe add some cajun for more flavor. yum yumm.

fun thing is, up here in ny waters. the beach is full of em. i dont need no shovels, sieves, or tools. just walk into the wake on an outgoing tide. massive amounts of them just tumble back and forth in the waves.
