Preparing Striped Bass for Table Fare 

For top quality striped bass or "rockfish" as table fare, it's important to take care of the fish prior to cooking. The fish should be chilled on ice and laid out flat until cleaned.

Once the fish is home, it can be rinsed thoroughly and filleted. Several cleaning methods exist and each angler learns their favorite style.

The fish can be scaled and the skin left on, filleted and then skinned or the skin can be cut around the perimeter of the fish and pulled off with pliers. The skin-on version is nice when baking or grilling smaller fish. Skinning the fish before filleting has some advantages, the most important being speed. Filleting the fish and then cutting the skin off removes the most dark meat and leaves the highest quality portion, although some fish is lost in the process.

Cooks have a variety of favorites for cooking rockfish. Small pieces of any size rockfish is delicious fried. Other choices include grilling, broiling, fish cakes and more.

Catching Striped Bass 

Striped Bass are very adaptable and opportunistic which makes fishing for them a challenge. There are dozens of methods of catching striped bass and what works in one area might be totally ineffective just a short distance away. Fishing also varies seasonally as fish migrate along the mid Atlantic coast of the USA.
