Well Steve, back in the 60's or 70's down here in the Chesapeake there were the best eating bird. But as with any other bird it all depends on what they have been eating. Back then they would concentrate heavily in the upper Susquehanna River flats and would feed on bay grasses and they were delicious. Now, not so much as the grasses are gone and they feed on various invertebrates which gives them that fishy taste. They still are a handsome bird.
