Spangled Empror vs Dorado vs Spanish Mackeral

[Kasey Leong]

Another vote for the long nosed emperor over the spangled. Mind you, a Chinaman would tow a long nosed emperor backwards!

What about if I hand-gaffed it?

i encounter aggregations of adult Chinaman here each October, and whether spearing or popping or drift baiting they are one helluva machine. even by Lutjanid standards. they taste pretty damn good too [no ciguatera here], even sweeter after having thrown all those [possibly] ciguatoxic ones back over the years in FNQ. for the table tho......give me a fresh Hippurus any day
