Don't call me crazy but they are very tasty. They serve them in a soup at a virtnamese resturant by my house. They make fish balls out of them... Very yummy, try it.

In the late 70s I lived in a small community near Pensacola. Of the 24 or 25 families there 22 or 23 of them were Cajun. Theres only 2 things on earth they refused to eat, Amberjack and ladyfish. I developed this theory that if a Cajun wont eat something noone should 😀

The alternate theory is just because a Cajun eats it doesn't mean you should! 😆

I read that there was a market for ladyfish in Asia, as someone mentioned they make fish cakes out of them. After spending time in Korea, I know what kind of fish cakes they are talking about, and it ain't what you get in a Filet-O-Fish from Mickey D's. Those Asian fish cakes are entirely different. Over there, if it comes up in the net, they find a way to eat it. My wife is Korean, and she's been known to eat frozen cigar minnows that were meant to be bait!

I hate messing with bony fish, so I think I'll leave the ladyfish for the Asians to eat, or to use for cut bait!
