I have never tried them, but have heard from a couple of people that they are actually pretty good. I know if anyone ever wants to try them, onemorecast56 can get you all yo need. We don't call him KVDrum for nothing!

Up north in Lake Erie they're "Sheephead", and I've seen them served at a fish fry mixed in with several other species. You just can't tell the difference. One recipe I've heard used is to take the back meat only, steam it and serve it with cocktail sauce like shrimp. They tell me it's very tasty.

Are they related to redfish?

Yes. They are both in the drum family.

They are definitely a close relative to Redfish which many people eat. I'm sure it does have to do with size and body of water.
