fyi some claim its the 'free' and legal drug.

However some people still eat them and they are retailed at marsaxlokk.

I've always eaten this fish and I never got poisoned or drugged (but I won't take responsibility if does affect you in any way!)

It is important to clean it as soon as you land it because otherwise the seaweed in its intestines quickly starts decomposing affecting its taste. I usually used to have it baked with potatoes, onions, tomatos, oil and herbs. I like it very much but taste is very subjective so at the end of the day it is your call!

when I used to catch them, the most important thing is to remove a black coating that you find when you gut it, or else the taste/smell would be of hama/drainage

Thanks , as I understand I should clean it the same way as mullet.
