ASrod Posted October 28, 2019 Report Share Posted October 28, 2019 This question has probably been asked a hundred times already, but do people actually eat them? Last week I was fishing and some lady next to me took home a few 5 gallon buckets full of them saying that she eats them. Now that didn’t bother me as much as her letting them sit in the sun for 3 hours to let them get more flavor. Had me gagging just thinking about it. Who in their right mind would eat a bunker? t_man7 1 If you can dream it, I can meme it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SC Posted October 28, 2019 Report Share Posted October 28, 2019 I have seen on more than one occasion people keeping bunker they claimed was for their consumption. One guy even told me he ate them whenever he could "catch" them. This was inner city NY. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the3fishheads Posted October 28, 2019 Report Share Posted October 28, 2019 The trick is to hold your nose and swallow them whole. Then head for the crapper. coastalfreak 1 **** the U.N. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thaistick Posted October 28, 2019 Report Share Posted October 28, 2019 I've heard they can be sun dried in some sweet sauce and and eaten like a fish jerky Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
XBMX Posted October 29, 2019 Report Share Posted October 29, 2019 Not a far cry from Pickled Herring. In the book "The Fisheries of Raritan Bay" the author tells of the local Bunker processor plant canning them and selling in Europe as "Shadene".

buddha162 Posted October 29, 2019 Report Share Posted October 29, 2019 I've always wondered if bunker is a local substitute for making fish sauce. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fvgourami3 Posted October 29, 2019 Report Share Posted October 29, 2019 They are delicious on the skillet or smoked. We had them on Sunday night. One of a kind if you prepare them correctly and bleed them. Just like mackerel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
