Gear and fishery info

These are a silverside fish, and literally fly onto the boat, so they're netted from the boat. This is a bait fishery (they're used for bluefin tuna), but many of the top restaurants (and home cooks) have realized what great eating they are.  They are popular in Southern California, Mexico, the Caribbean, and is in the national dish of Barbados.
