Long Island Striped Bass: Amor y Pescado

Love is hard, and sometimes it's hard to love striped bass. With all the crazy rules and regulations surrounding this species, it's enough to make you say FUGGEDABOUDIT. For example: Did you know that it's illegal to sell New York Stripers in New Jersey? WEIRDO WORLD. Did you know we have to carry striper tags in our vans EVEN IF THE FISH IS FILLETED? Well, we learned that the hard way.
Now you can thank your lucky stars because New York striper season just opened and these varmints are MENU-APPROVED, once again.
Stripers and Blues are the meanest fish I know, that's why they get to debut in the same newsletter.

duhhhh....you're mah bestest freyund, blue.

Bluefish Pomatomus saltatrix aka migratory Desperados of the Atlantic

Our Bluefish are underwater THUGS. They cruise seasonally up and down the East Coast on the Labrador Currents as if they were rollin' on dubs. They are BULLYS. Woolly Bullys, that is. These blues were caught by our very own boat, the F/V Woolly Bully, off the coast of Long Island. Both Stripers and Blues are hard-core gangster-fish that run in the same circles, preying on menhaden and other small oily fish, including baby bluefish. CANNIBALS! Blues put up a ruthless fight when they are caught and they have wicked sharp teeth in their grills. When they are fresh they are so SO SOO awesome to eat. Slap a little sour cream on top and holy hustler, these homies will make you want to get THUG LIFE tatted on your chest.

Rest in peace young blue, there's a heaven for a G.
