I have heard that they taste like a girl that wipes back to front.

I actually had sun fish meat once. It did taste like lobster! The bad thing is, I'm guessing only 15% or less is good to eat and it's hard work to cut it out. My brother and I went out years ago on a day trip out of Ensenada when the deck hands gaffed about 200 pound Sun fish. They sawed through its inch thick wall, then pulled out about 20 pounds of soft meat and gave us all about a pound to take home. They then threw the hacked up carcass overboard. Personally, I wouldn't take one myself since I don't think it's worth killing it for such little food. On the other hand, if someone already killed it and offer you some, don't waste it.

Heh.. Thanks Dennis.

Made for a memorable experience for my dad on his visit this year, even though I couldn't get him on a yellowtail this time.

Yeah, another thing you need to cherish in life.. Although you didn't get him a mossy he's stoked about spending the morning with his son. Sure wish my dad was still around. He loved to fish, even on his last days. Keep us posted Paul!

Maybe because there is a lot of jellyfish in the water when they are around...? There was a lot of jellies around DP last weekend.
