Saltwater bluegills are fun to catch on a flyrod but as table fare they are not much. They have a strong iodine taste. As a kid some of my earliest fishing was for pinfish on the old wooden causeways between Sarasota and the islands and we ate them rolled in cornmeal and deep fried but then we ate almost anything we caught. They were even below the old keys survival meal of "grits and grunts"
