Willard not so hot

[wiperhunter2]

I guess it is just a matter of taste because I started fishing for and trying to eat wiper when they were first planted in Willard. I would say a lot of us, that have fished for them for a long time, are aware of the red strip of meat on the outer side of the meat, it makes little difference, imo. I'm not saying it does not effect the taste of the wiper but it just is not enough for me to eat them. The only way I have ever cooked them and liked the taste was years ago when I would deep fry them, I rarely eat fish deep fried now days, I prefer to bake fish. As far as your comment about, "At least as good as the long-frozen halibut they sell at the market. ", I'm not sure what to say about that comment but I have had halibut that was a year old and imo there is a night and day difference in the taste. Halibut is soooo much better than wiper, even when it has been frozen for over a year but again that is my opinion.
