Many people more or less ignore triggerfish, and only encounter them as bycatch. This is a shame, because triggerfish fight hard for their side (heck, they are after all shaped just like a bluegill) and taste great. So, why not give ’em a shot? These five tips will help you bring some triggers into the boat.
BONUS Trigger Tip: These fish have scales like armor plating. Try to saw through and you’ll dull your knife after a few fish. Instead, pop two or three scales off the fish right behind its head and along the back. Then insert the tip of your knife, work it along the backbone, and sweep it back out through by the dorsal. Continue, working your way farther and farther down until the fillet is free and you can cut if off along the rib cage.
