Yes people eat them, but have never tried them. A guy here would catch some, take home and put in a bath tub, then feed them corn meal for 6 to 8 weeks. Then would fillet them, and would then have someone smoke them. Think he said, that you need to de-vein them, but not sure. Guessing they were smoked like hams are. If you try it, let us know how they taste.
I hope you were talking to ketchn as I know I will not try them. I am not very adventurous when it comes to my food.
