Catch and Cook Lizard Fish | Taste Test 

Cool stuff! Love the different spin you put on your channel.

love the taste test vids brother...I never caught a lizard fish, but if I do I am keeping it...I knew once I saw the meat it was going to be PHENOMENAL!

Love your channel and especially these taste test videos. I catch big lizzard fish every time I go out and never even thought about keeping one until now! Seriously, who woulda ever thought the "preachers prick" was as good as flounder?

i absolutely love your channel, great fishing, great cooking review lol love it.... subbed for darn sure

I've been eating fish that no one else will even try, theres not really much you cant eat because of taste, I've been eating lizard fish for years, oyster toad fish are great broiled in butter, puffers one of the best, even fresh water fish that others wont touch are found on my table. Great videos.

your content and concept are dope. was just in tampa a few days ago. i like how u target a species and relentlessly seek it. keep up the content.

You are the best fishing channel ive seen. And ive seen almost all saltwater channels

I caught one of these when I was a kid and none of my friends believed that it was a real fish. Joke's on them.

Love your videos man! Me and my buddies gonna do a catch and try one day!

I love these videos! Keep it up !

Just goes to show that some "trash fish" may be called trash fish because they are so small. As you pointed out, many lizard fish we catch are quite small and it would take many of them to make a meal for a family. Thanks so much for the video and the great information!

Lol! Awesome video! We were arguing about eating one of these the other day!

You should buy the biggest lure you can find and try and catch a fish

Ive been waiting for lizard fish test!!!!!

dude I live in michigan and you are making me want to move to try new fish I love flounder now you have me wanting to try lizard fish.🖒

Thanks dude for this great video! Just caught my first Inland Lizard fish and was curious about the taste. You've convinced me to fillet it. Mine is the same size as yours. 😁😁🐟🐟🐟

I like this series! I ate my first lizard fish about 10 years ago, in my quest to try anything once. I did not skin the filet. my experience was not pleasant. The first bite was promising, but the second bite had a strong ammonia finish, worse than improperly prepared shark. I regularly clean and pressure can little tuny, and think fresh small bluefish is one of the best tasting fish in the water. My pallette is definitely not delicate. I'll have to give the lizard another try maybe.

Glad you did the video. I caught two of those yesterday in Morehead City/Beaufort NC. I had to search online to try to identify the species. Good to know that people actually eat them. Next time I'll try eating them too. I'll add them to the list that now include blow fish.

I live in Cali and eat Lizard fish when I catch them. Vietnamese people stew them in sweet and sour sauce and black pepper to eat with white rice, delicious! great video by the way.

thumbs up fosho...thanks again for the nice show. Very interesting about the lizard fish. I look forward to viewing another show soon

Absolutely love lizard fish, I actually hadn't heard of it until about two months ago when i went deep sea fishing and caught one, absolutely amazing

Caught one today and was curious. Thx for the vid.

This is a great video!

I caught one today and tasted a small piece actually surprisingly really tasty!

Your amazing man keep going!

We were in Panama City last weekend and caught some nice reds with the biggest 39". In the morning the wind was bad though and we stayed in the bay, but we were catching a ton of trout with some lizard fish mixed in. We didn't know we were throwing back such a good tasting fish haha. I am looking forward to a ladyfish taste test from you in the future. Back in our September trip we caught a bunch, and I had heard they were a good cut bait for reds so let's give it a try. Never caught anything on them, but I was surprised at how the meat looked so white and did not smell.

We catch these all the time of the beaches in NC. The south side sound on Wrightsville has them in droves. Can't wait to put one in my belly.

Good vid. Hey Brant, what seasonings did you use on the lizardfish?

I have tossed these sorry jokers back so many times, now I am regretting it. LOL Good video series.

I actually love lizard fish, I never knew they were considered the ultimate trash fish though

I really enjoy this taste tests, thumbs up!

I must've caught 50 of these throwing the spoon the other day looking for macks. I decided to see if anybody had did a catch and cook and sure enough AnglerUp with Brant has a video. Going out next weekend and I'm keeping all of these suckers next time.☺️

love your videos

Ya do a puffer love the channel

I first ate lizard fish about 15 years ago. Excellent eating. I'd not ever turn it down.

OK, I had to know for myself so I kept a large lizardfish this past weekend. I don't think I share the same opinion of it as you. I found the texture to be really weird. It crumbled into what felt like a thousand tiny bits in my mouth. The flavor was not bad, but the texture was yuck. And the bones. Oh my goodness the bones. I've never seen a fish with so many bones. Even after performing meticulous surgery on the fillets, which were a beautiful white BTW, I still managed to get a mouth full of tiny bones. It seemed like there were three sets of pin bones that ran the entire length of the fish. Luckily for me though I had a grill full of big black seabass that we caught on the trip. Anyway, love the videos, especially the taste tests!

What really sucks is that one time me dad and I caught a TON of lizardfish and all we kept was a few sand perch and a mackerel :c

Damn, should've watched this a few days ago. We threw a dozen big ones back yesterday.

About to cook my first lizard fish tonight caught a few but never thought about eating one lol

I tried one yesterday and it was amazing.

awesome! I've always wondered if you could eat a lizard fish.

Did you eat the LF straight up, or did you use lemon/line etc on the meat? Thanks for the vid.

Caught a few this morning about 7 inches and threw them back never knew you could eat them but good to know, thanks

Amazing

Just caught one and appreciate your video

Lol, if I catch one tomorrow I'm gonna try it

Another awesome video brant!(still think the amout of subs you have is unacceptable) when are you gonna tackle the dreaded jack crevalle in your taste test vids bro?!

We always cook that in the Philippines we put soy sauce and lemon juice and we fry it crispy we cut it in split

that makes some of the best strip baits for flounder youll ever try

Dude I literally found this after throwing about 20 15 inch or so lizardfish away today because I was always told they were poisonous... Now I'm pissed.

Tried my first Lizard Fish last weekend and was blown away on how good it was! The flesh was white with no blood line. Even the backbone had a good amount of meat on it to enjoy! I will definitely be keeping this fish for table fare for sure going forward!

I'm a Midwest boy so never really had that kind of fish but I've had lizard before and I like that I've had rattlesnake and I like that so if it's called The Lizard fish I'm not surprised excellent video

What song is at the intro of the video?

We eat lizards all the time, makes a good fish soup too.

I've just got two of them while fishing today.

some of the funnest coolest vids on fishing. Would you keept hem again?

nice video where were you fishing?

Here in the Philippines we love the lizard fish. It is called the toko. Because it looks like the toko geko/lizard in color and shape. Tasty fish.

Is there a different between lizard fish and sand dive fish

Catch those all the time in San Diego bay. Never tried to eat one

Just tried deep fried lizard fish, awesome I will be eating it again, even the women were freaked out until they tried it !

Eat the fish and great bait as well! I tried a lady fish last week for the first time. Bones, blood lines, bloody meat, and if you try to fillet out the bones you mostly just cut them in half. I'm ready for you to try the lady fish!

Wow. I am shocked! I never would have guessed it was any good. I will try it. If I recall, Remora was also good. Have you done Jack Crevelle yet?

I like these videos

come on really! I am a charter guid out of NSB FL and I catch these a lot trolling off shore with planners and gator spoons. I have thrown back thousands of them really crazy man Huh who would of thought.....

New to saltwater fishing and soon to move to florida and will be getting a first boat within the next year. Where is the best place to start learning - Fish types, lures, how to rig lures, how to choose locations? Any advice will be helpful since I don't know really anything about saltwater fishing.

In San Diego we always catch them going for mackerel. Some people do deep frie them

What song does he use at 0:15

Here in the Philippines we called it Kalaso and it tastes good.

Interesting, our lizardfish out here on the west coast has an ammonia-like taste. Perhaps I'll give it one more shot

We call them Grinners in Australia, but considered here as trash fish, because they are usually full of bones...

Ok, so this is the last straw....... I'm MOVING to Florida!!!! Lmaoo. Goodbye Nyc, hello florida come this summer. I hope to see you out and about on the water my friend.....

I'm eating it now 😂.. This is one of the popular fish in Egypt yummy 😋.. Next time try to seasoned it with garlic, cumin salt and pepper from the inside then dip it in flower and fry it whole in oil. You'll be amazed

I caught my first lizard fish a week ago not only do they look like lizards with fins but they bite like lizards too.

over in greece I specifically caught lizardfish because I actually really really like them!

You should catch a speckled trout and a white trout and do a side by side comparison ?

Bombay Duck is a lizard fish consumed in huge quantities in South Asia. You can look up the link for an interesting tale on how it was named Bombay Duck. en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bombay_duck

I catch them things all the time. I'll try eating one next time I get a mess.

I actually caught a Lizard fish in Fort Lauderdale, on a boardwalk.

The biggest one I caught was in 20 ft of water while trolling he weighed 2lb even but he had orange kinda coloration and it bit the living hell out of me

Super bro 👍👍👍

these make very good grouper bait ... so keep them and trade them in for a nice grouper

Now I know why this is a snook magnet bait. Snook cannot pass up a lizard fish. Thanks!

Ate it in Madeira fished lizards fish there...and it's tasty

Oh good lord. I tossed a dozen of those slimy things back yesterday. Don't want to eat one but now I gotta. I hate the internet!

Toadfish next

0:43 sunscreen my ass! That's cocaine!

Lizardfish makes great cut bait, especially for white trout.

bro u in florida?

I'm eating one now and I don't like it never hear any one eat it before so I end up on ur page to see if anyone ever eat it

The sunscreen on his nose say he caught a Cuban Montana fish🤣🤣

Where's you based out of?

Watch this video while eating fried dried lizard fish, and yes... its absolutely yummy and best in taste. Best to cook for a fresh catch is with coconut milk or soaked with lot of spices and vinegar. 😋

I ate one of these for fun too 😂

These damn fish are all over San Diego bay. I hated catching them almost every time I dropped the line.

I’ve been trying to find that abu Garcia hoodie for a while now. With no luck

Kyle korver fishing?

I told you it tastes really good ) glad that you did this video, now i have something to show to my buddies as proof that lizardfish is edible. You play table tennis too?

There’s lizard fish in my favorite microwaveable curry and rice meal

Lizard fish is very good fried too.
