I've been fishing the flats for about 5 years now and have always been a catch and release guy. This year I'm thinking about keeping one or two fish and trying them out on the grill.
SO......what's the best in-shore eatin' fish? Specks good? Red? Spanish? Flounder?

Sorry I could not resist!

My wife and I love trout- Broiled or grilled.
Everything tastes good fried... Even the Sailfin- if you cut out the dark meat.

Reds or cobia. Just about everything else I can take or leave.

Don't listen to the above comments. Keep releasing.

My favorites are reds and flounder.

bman.....there in nothing...absolutely nothing wrong with the tasty "sailcat" you pictured. It's one of the best tasting fish on the flats. In fact I brought home 3 yesterday that toped out at about 4 lbs.
My vote for the best tasting fish down there is the "flounder" As Tony the Tiger says "it's great"

Take trout out of the list and I fall right in with you. Only one I would add is black bass, they can be pretty tasty.
