Cook em just like red fish. On the half shell or in a court-bouillon.

HTH

Ingredients:
1 (5-to-6 pound) gaspergoo, dressed, with head on
3 quarts water
1 tablespoon salt
1 cup vegetable oil
1 cup flour
2 cups onions, chopped
1 cup bell pepper, chopped
3 stalks celery, chopped
2 10-ounce cans Ro-Tel tomatoes
Salt and cayenne pepper, to taste
1 lemon, thinly sliced
1/2 cup parsley, chopped
4 hardboiled egg yolks, pushed though a, fine-mesh sieve
Steamed rice

Directions:
Remove the head from the fish and cut fish into slices about 3 inches wide. Place fish head and fish in a medium pot, cover with water, add salt and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer for 1 hour. Strain and reserve stock. Remove skin and bones from fish. Reserve fish. In a large, heavy pot over medium heat, combine oil and flour and cook, stirring constantly, until roux is dark brown. Add onions, bell pepper, celery and tomatoes. Cook, stirring often, over medium-low heat until vegetables are very wilted, about 20 minutes. Begin adding stock, 2 cups at a time, stirring between each addition, until the courtbouillon is soupy (8 to 10 cups stock total). Season with salt and cayenne and simmer for 20 minutes. Add the reserved gaspergoo and cook until the fish is heated through. Serve the soup in deep bowls over steamed rice. Top each serving with a slice of lemon, and sprinkle with parsley and sieved egg yolks.
