Swamp Cabbage fresh from the North Florida Swamps.

I have had it cooked with hocks...syrup...lots of ways. I will always take a spoonful then move right to the cheese grits and fried war-mouth perch.
Sometimes it's good and sometimes it's OK.
I think if it's cooked too long it gets....not right.
And if you cut it too low you f'ed up.

Cook some every once in a while.
Gonna try pickling some this summer, need to clear some area for food plots for the deer.

The first and only war mouth I ever caught was when we're flippin for bass in a local lake. Flippin had just hit the scene (late 80's) and I had the setup ... 7 1/2' rod, heavy action, 20 or 30lb test, and 1 1/2oz jig. First hit I got, I did what I was told - to set the hook hard to get the fish close to the surface. I did so, and thought that I pulled the hook. Then about 5 seconds later, a war mouth landed on the boat deck. No telling how high that little sucker flew up towards the sky when I set the hook on what I thought could have been a 10lb bass.
Troublemaker, but I agree. :beer
IMO, so many Sabal palms, aka Cabbage palms, get destroyed for development it's kind of a shame to go out in "the North Florida Swamps" to kill some. Last one I took was when Duke Energy came through to clear the power lines. Even this Lazy Man stuff, generously placed in my truck for me, tasted kind of like the white part of Water melon rind.

You're always worried about running into the big D aren't ya?
The old guy in the Vernon, Florida documentary tells a funny story about Warmouth. If you have not seen the movie, check it out-
You have to take the Beans to the bakers before they close at 6pm on Friday night so that they can be put in the oven to cook overnight. You pick up your "Bean Pot" on Saturday before the bakery closes at noon then just keep them warm until "supper". Each family has their own "bean pot" as well as their own recipe for the beans.

Now there's something I had forgotten about.
As a little kid used to catch them with tiny hooks along the seawall in back of the house.
Made great live bait for tarpon or snook or ??
Or, would simply feed our big tiger cat until he was stuffed.

We used to catch'em for a Lady in Michigan. We'd catch them side by side with waleye on the St. Joe river up by the Buchanan Dam. She made multiple recipes, one of them a fish cake, way better then you would think. Good times
