First I ever heard of cusk.
AKA burbot, lawyer and eelpout
Can it be eaten? Does it taste like lawyer?
Never eaten lawyer but cusk is wonderful to eat. I usually freeze a bunch of it and make chowder with it all year.
One of these years, when fishing at LOW I will have to keep one. We always just cut the line and sacrificed the jig. Hated bringing one up the hole. Was always a good fight and had you thinking you had a large walleye, only to see the line start going in circles, then everyone would sit back down and start laughing at you.
They won't be laughing when you make a fish chowder out of one! I call it freshwater scallops. Delicious! They are highly coveted up here in NH.
Any special ways to fillet, or just like a regular fish? I have heard of cooking/boiling it in Sprite/7UP.
