They got fangs, but the softest mouth... that's why hooks are tough to set when you're used to big/heavy fish.

That's why we sometimes call them paper mouths

...and the fillet is delicate, translucent, and yummy! ;)  I'll be in Florida in February filling my belly with these suckers!

A lot of people fry them but I personaly like them in the skillet or broiled. Same with stuffed flounder. While you are in Florida try red fish on the half shell.

The skillet is where it's at when it comes to speckled sea trout... you can fry anything, but I don't like to lose the flavor of this delicious fish.
Redfish on the half shell... I'll check it out.  I didn't know redfish had shells  ;D

That's what we call it down here. You leave the scales on the filet and season the other side and cook in on the grill scale side down. If you are ever in Texas give me a shout

looks a lot like the shortfin corvina that hang out in San Diego bay.
