Re: {Tidal Potomac Fly Rodders} Re: Snakehead fishing on the Yahoo homepage

I recently caught a 27in snakehead out of Cameron run, upstream of Belle Haven. It had several red long worms in the meat. I never really intended to eat it but filleted it anyhow. Planning on using it for chum filler.

 

I wonder if Snakheads are more susceptible to parasites than other fish?

Alex Binsted (manager at Fletcher's) as cleaned many Snakehead. More often than not he cuts out some sort of worm or parasite in the fillet. The ones he misses cook up well and have done us no harm to date.

From the snakehead tourney last year I was told the grow so fast that they don't harbor toxins in their flesh like cats and bass. Maybe data has changed since them but md dnr said they were ok to eat.

odenkirk has a sweet gig and man that's a helluva fish. 

is there any info on what kinda toxins/metals are found in the meat of potomac snakehead?   

i have never eaten a fish out of the tidal potomac, really anywhere below smokehole, but from rich's posts and others, kinda tempted to try them out... very least,  a good conversation piece to bring one to a bbq. 

just curious, because given the health of the bass and catfish, you couldn't pay me to eat one from here. 

thanks,
