Black Sea Bass for sale
I thought it was illegal to take or consume Black Sea Bass..but the other day I saw some for sale at a local fish market. What gives?

Commerical are allowed to take one if its bycatch..tho for as rare as it is..i would have figured it would have cost a bit more. supply and demand thing

It's considered an "incidental catch" which allows them to sell it and not waste the food. Seems to me that there would be a lot less "incidental catches" if it were not sellable.

Eric Ericson's does the same thing.

the tiny girlfriend was used for scale dude...you missed the point of my thread. A mockery is say...lip gaffing fish of this size just for a photo opportunity. The sad part is that it's dead and for sale.
