Paul_M Posted March 27, 2013 Report Share Posted March 27, 2013 The menu reads "Virginia Coast Wild Striped Bass ." I'm not up on the commercial regs so I'd appreciate your thoughts and comments please. See you on the big one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slack Tidings Posted March 27, 2013 Report Share Posted March 27, 2013 Dont know what the commercial regs are but I believe as result of the PCB's and mercury inherent in the striped bass population many states recommend having no more than two 6oz(?) servings a year....seems strange that striper would be on the menu given its unfortunate toxicity.

Sudsy Posted March 27, 2013 Report Share Posted March 27, 2013 There's a very large Asian market on Rt 18 in East Brunswick NJ with a huge tank full of hybrid stripers. Another filled with huge ugly catfish and another with carp. The meat dept would scare Hannibal Lecter I just wanta play everyday despite small nagging injuries -- and go home to a woman who appreciates how full of crap I truly am. ~ Crash Davis Ā Social Distancing since 1962 Ā Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although it is my go to place for mackerel for summer sharking Ā And to the OP as not to derail, VA has a limited commercial fishery for SB. I don't think it's against any regs if the restaurant brought them in from VA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

derangler Posted March 27, 2013 Report Share Posted March 27, 2013 A fish market close to me always has farmed striped bass. The fish are about 22 inches. It wouldn't surprise me at all if a restaurant was selling farmed fish and claiming it was wild. Fish the edges. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jerseybuddha Posted March 27, 2013 Report Share Posted March 27, 2013 was a study on yahoo news last week, like 50% of all fish is mis labled.? number may be wrong, but it was alot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
baldwin Posted March 27, 2013 Report Share Posted March 27, 2013 Yeah, Virginia harvests them commercially, can keep them at 18" in the Chesapeake. That's where they hang out for the winter, so they're there now. Smaller fish are also migrating out of the bay now, larger fish usually leave after spawning in June. Some larger fish, though, hang for the winter out in the Atlantic and can be caught now. I know that some local restaurants here in CT buy stripers from local "recreational" fishermen, even though commercial harvest here is illegal.

Paul_M Posted March 27, 2013 Author Report Share Posted March 27, 2013 It's on the Easter menu so I know they're not counting on sport caught fish. See you on the big one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rapala33 Posted March 27, 2013 Report Share Posted March 27, 2013 That's strange considering its a migratory fish! Ā I think the DEC's reasoning here is that fish caught west of Rocky Point are most likely Hudson River stock and fish east of Rocky Point have a better chance of being Chesapeake stock. I don't buy into this but I think that's their logic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slack Tidings Posted March 27, 2013 Report Share Posted March 27, 2013 I get it but the fish is known to be very transient so their logic is illogical. MikeMc, on 05 Jul 2016 - 1:56 PM, said: I'll get a pic when I get homoe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
