The Fishing Report
Apparently this dude in FL has and loves them. Here's the story. http://www.newsobserver.com/sports/story/1319821.html
Not for nothing, but I don't think I could eat one of those nasty suckers. Would you or have you? Granted, monkfish are pretty ugly and taste of lobster. Maybe I'm missing out. What say you?

I'd have to pass.
I dunno if I would eat one, but I have heard that they are good to eat. NatGeo recently did an episode on snakeheads and mentioned several times how "tasty" they are. Always worth a try. Where do you get a pound of illegal snakehead?
Couldn't do it... No way!
I dont know what it would taste like but it would be worth a try
I just hope I don't have to change my diet to snakehead because they took over. They could be in our waters now.
Never had the shot, not naturally in my home area, but i'd try it, just like carp, which isn't half bad, and if it's smoked it's pretty darn good.
I would gladly eat one. But more important if you want to eat one or not, they should all be killed and not released since they are an invasive species. In the Potomac River they are begining to become a problem, and thats just one more predator the bass need to compete with. Kill them all.
just about anything would taste good if you bread it and fry it
I'd be willing to give it a shot. Like Jerry said, anything battered and fried is good (i.e. chitlins.)
I would have to skip out on that one. I'll stick to crappie and catfish.
I gonna pass too....ewwwww
Don't think I'd go there, at least not if it was something I caught & filleted. Perhaps I'd eat one if it was already prepared and I didn't know what it was ~ heck would probably love it.
You never know, sometimes the uglier the fish, the better they taste. There's some hardwater folks that swear eelpout taste like lobster. Not trying that either.
If I was intoxicated and not paying much attention or intoxicated with lots of peer pressure, there would be a good shot I would eat one.
I....can safely say.....only if you go first.
I would pass on this one
The locals supposedly started a snakehead population in flushing meadows/corona lake in Queens NY because snakehead is apparently quite the delicacy for local Koreans.
I don't think I could eat something that looks like that. They are creepy looking fish.
yea me too
Never have, but I have heard they are good. I would eat one, it also gets rid of them.
They are outlawed where I live. The Fish and Game commision says once they are out of the water, Do Not Throw Back In!
I would certainly try it, the leading theory of how they got over here in the first place is that they were introduced intentionally for eating. In fact, the entire reason they are over here at all, alive or not, is because people eat them. And there's got to be something to that.
They are considered a delicaey in their native ranges. Like nuclear_fisher said, that's why they're here - they were brought over from (I believe) Asia. Of course, so is bird's nest soup, and that's nothing but dried bird spit.
Sold at most wet markets in SEAsia, with a screen over the top of the tub because they tend to jump out, but in answer to your question, yes.
One time I was at one of those dinners. The kind government employees in China love because it's on the govt dime and there's tons of expensive food. It happened there was one other round eye there and his wife so they sat us close to each other. As he turned over the giant fish we were all digging into he asked me if I knew what kind it is. Looked like fish to me. Carp was his answer. Tasted great.
