Illegal Yellowtails Tasty Good in California

In case you haven't heard: Mexican Yellows Are Here.
Please don't tell Joe Arepieo. These guys can stay.

I've read that Baja yellows fight harder for two reasons.
One, warm water is less viscous, thus the water offers
less resistance as they swim. And two, warmer waters
have less oxygen. So, especially when they're running
for the lives, they swim harder to meet their oxygen demands.
And maybe, they might realize they could end up in
my kitchen...

This 18lber fought way hard. Just as hard as our winter
time homeguards. And just as tasty too.
