Thanks for the education P-hole. Now that you mention it, I realize the Stripers I caught were in either California, Nevada or Utah … ALL in reservoirs. I was told they were stocked and sterile. That fits your description, just a “sport fish” I guess. I never tried eating mine, just caught them for fun. If fish TASTES like fish, I’m not a fan. It has to be a mild white fish usually although I’ll do salmon sushi in a heartbeat. Prefer tuna, but will do most any fresh sushi. If it’s not sushi, it’s gotta be fried. Give me a truckload if Walleye and I’ll do a job on it!
