if you can get them out of clean water and soak and rince them out a few times befor cooking them, they are not to bad,

but ya, tippicaly they do absorbe any garbage in the water and the taist reflects it. [:/]

Rock Bass is the official name. Cooked? Please soak it in milk for a few hours prior to using your favorite recipe or one of the recipes from our recipe board.[cool]
