IMO, I would rather eat mashed up cardboard, but then again, if you can't get anything else they will have to do.

sweep are ok to eat, a little soft in the flesh dept'which lends them to be grilled and not fried.

Some are just spoiled or fussy fks.

Banded Sweep versus Sea Sweep

Mon, 2013-07-15 12:22

I've experimented with both.

Sea Sweep are OK, not fantastic, but OK.  I'd liken them to a Queen Snapper....certainly edible but nowhere like a Dhufish or Baldchin. 

Banded Sweep are plain awful....don't be tempted to east one unless your desperate.
