    People in Maine would think you're nuts eating them. They get left on the ice for the eagles up here.

    They sell them at restaurants and markets. Yellow perch are very popular here.

    They are missing out. When I lived in Maine, they said the same thing about not eating them. IMHO, they are one of the best eating fish out there.

    A cusk, huh? I found one of those in a leg of a dock when pulling it out at the end of the season. I called it a burbot though. Probably the same fish.
