They are my favorite fish to catch, especially on a light jigging rod. Awesome fighters. As for cooking, I usually fillet them, cut the boneless meat into strips and stir fry and then add to steam vegetables. The head and the rest of the fish can be chopped up to make broth/soup with tofu. Awesome. BTW, I have seen them sell for 58.88 dollars a pound at some high end restaurants. I guess one man’s garbage fish is another’s treasure delicacy.We always throw the cabezons back. years ago my Chinese neighbors gave us some fish cakes made from a huge cabezon I gave them, worst this I ever ate. since then we figured they were garbage fish, will have to try them battered as we catch them often and they are up tp 10lbs easy. Quite often the Oak Bay police are at the ramp doing inspections also.
