Old Fish in Freezer

I've been cleaning out one of my Freezers. I came across a bunch of 2/3 year old frozen Fillets.
Mostly Snook and Reds with a Cobia and an old Sailfish head I been meaning to mount.
Looks like their burned pretty bad.
I hate to just throw them away , Will a Friends of Cats type place take them ?
Their not real Oily Fish so I 'm not sure about grinding them up for Chum.
Anyone grind their old fish up... ?

You mean youve never done it? Chopping up sailfish head and boiling it is the best soup/broth ive ever had. Bonefish also makes the best shark bait out of anything i ever tried. Super hard to get though

Doubt a gator farm would take them but you can check or just defrost and feed the neighborhood flugars.
A wade fisherman is the most simplistic but the most adept for the quarry they are after. They are immersed in their challenger's habitat and are in tune with the subtle changes of current, temperature and bottom. In order to be successful at this noble and primal fishing form one must be submerged from their goobs to their boobs, anyone doing this outside of that boundary is either sunbathing or swimming.

Is there a *Florida Sailfish head* Forum? Maybe we could get one here...they do like sub forums around here. :grin

Are they endangered?
Great fish, but not in short supply. To each their own.
As to the fillets, probably decent crab trap baits. Now that's more a shame than taking a sail, but it happens to everyone now and then.

I guess that would depend on how you define endangered?
I would bet more red snapper than sailfish, get caught and released this year off the east coast of Florida.
Just sayin:grin
My cats wont touch my fish if I give them some let alone freezer burned fish. They have evolved into dry food fanatics. The fish is now garbage, throw it away. Maybe a raccoon will tip your trash can and eat it, other than that it has no value. Does the sailfish head still have a full bill on it? Could make a lawn ornament out of it.

When my dog was alive he just loved eating fish....mostly BBQ'd mako or thresher shark...
But if you had smoked fish around he lost what little marbles he had and would eat 20 pounds if you let him....
Is there a SPORTSMAN FOR SPORTSMAN KILLING AND GRILLIN SAILFISH forum? Honestly we would have let this fish go but it died of a heart attack when the flash went off. I'm looking for a good spot now to load up on huge Permit when my son and his friends comes down, any help would be appreciated.
Now I have to kill another one on purpose to try out linesider 159's Sailfish head soup/broth, I knew I should have kept the head. linesider can you post up recipe?

Fried tuna??
Gross.
You were not invited any way. It was very good.
Yet the same people will eat crappy fast food all day long and drink cheap rice beer. Go figure.
Is Busch Light a rice beer?
Ingredients: Water; Corn, Rice and/or Dextrose Syrup; Barley Malt; Hops; Hop Extract; Malt Extract; Yeast. - See more at: http://www.tapintoyourbeer.com/index.cfm?id=96#sthash.lvvQ341r.dpuf
Thanks for the link
Nothing wrong with bush light - great boat beer.
Another derail about beer.

First of all, I was able to obtain a baseline list of “legal” additives allowed in beer from the book “Chemicals Additives in Beer” by the Center of Science and Public Interest. This list allowed me to ask specific questions about each beer I investigated. For example – beer sold here in America can contain several of the following ingredients:
Monosodium Glutamate (MSG) – alcohol is already addictive with some people, but with MSG?! Holy smokes.
Propylene Glycol (an ingredient found in anti-freeze)
Calcium Disodium EDTA (made from formaldehyde, sodium cayanide, and Ethylenediamine)
Many different types of sulfites and anti-microbial preservatives (linked to allergies and asthma)
Natural Flavors (can come from anything natural including a beavers anal gland)
High Fructose Corn Syrup
GMO Sugars – Dextrose, Corn Syrup
Caramel Coloring (Class III or IV made from ammonia and classified as a carcinogen)
FD&C Blue 1 (Made from petroleum, linked to allergies, asthma and hyperactivity)
FD&C Red 40 (Made from petroleum, linked to allergies, asthma and hyperactivity)
FD&C Yellow 5 (Made from petroleum, linked to allergies, asthma and hyperactivity)
Insect-Based Dyes: carmine derived from cochineal insects to color their beer.
Animal Based Clarifiers: Findings include isinglass (dried fish bladder), gelatin (from skin, connective tissue, and bones), and casein (found in milk)
Foam Control: Used for head retention; (glyceryl monostearate and pepsin are both potentially derived from animals)
BPA (Bisphenol A is a component in many can liners and it may leach into the beer. BPA can mimic the female hormone estrogen and may affect **** count, and other organ functions.)
Carrageenan (linked to inflammation in digestive system, IBS and considered a carcinogen in some circumstances)
During my investigation, I couldn’t get a single mainstream beer company to share the full list of ingredients contained in their beer. But I did get some of them to fess up to the use of these ingredients in writing so I’m going to share this information with you now.
