Overall, it was a pretty decent day. Yesterdays moon phase was pretty shitty but that didn't stop us. We ran basically due W out of S St Pete for ~60 miles fishing in 150'ish water. It was a little bumpy past 30 miles but very doable. We limited out on ARS and Red Grouper with some real studs. Mango's, YT and Scamp were added to the box.

What we could do with a mess of throats.......and the bones set on the smoker!!

From our last haul we gave a lot of heads and backbones to a Jamaican lady who said she boiled them...I suppose to make bouillabaisse or fish cakes.
What do you do specifically Ben?

I use to have a Dominican lady that worked with me. We give her all the grouper "scraps" she'd get what meat was left and make one meal out of it and would make fish head soup with the rest. Always was delicious.

Collars get grilled, Heads and back bones get boiled with onions, potatoes and bird peppers. Old sour is added in the end. Usually eaten with grits. That’s a old time Conch/Bahamian tradition,
