I'll use this thread for inspiration! I'm not a huge fish eater. Had some amazing simple fish on the islands but no idea what they were. Also got to watch the costs as gets silly fast in touristy situations.

Triggerfish? Do you spearfish? I've never seen them on a menu only been chased while diving.

Caught in the gulf on reefs using squid. I don’t think they are typically caught in enough numbers to show up in fish stores with any regularity and yes, they are very rarely on menus.

I only eat fish I catch (unless in Mexico haha) and these are all fish I’ve caught in the past 5 years. 

1. White Sea Bass. A Baja/California only species. Incredible dense white meat. 

2. King Salmon. 

3. Halibut 

4. Bluefin Tuna 

5. Yellowtail (hamachi)
