Mrdux brought us some AC "nuggets" at our Spring Fling last year .... they got the hot oil treatment, right along with the Crappie fillets. I ate a few and they were "alright" ... they have a denser meat than other sport fish I've eaten. That being said, I wouldn't go out of my way to catch & clean one for the meat, nor would I pay the exorbitant prices at a "high class" restaurant that served them. BUT ... if they were in the waters where I fish, I WOULD gladly go out of my way to "put down" as many of them as I could. I figure every two of them I kill means a few thousand more that will never get born.
