I have never fished saltwater but would like to get an answer to a longtime question. Do fish coming from the sea have a heavier salt content (in their flesh) than freshwater fish? Hoooboy Lunk <"}}}}}><

I don't know. Let me go catch a Striper and I'll take a look at the ingredient/nutritional information label on it... With all the gov't regs. on those fish, I'm sure that they have to have that on them now.......

there seems to be a taste in the brackish water and bay or ocean fish. is it salt? or just suggestive influence?

I don't think the salt water makes a difference in the taste of the fish that swim in it.I have caught striper's in fresh and, slat water and, they taste the same to me.

Lunk I checked into this and, you are safe eating fish caught in salt water.The fish in salt water process the salt that enters it's body and, expels it.The flesh of a salt water fish has no more salt than a fresh water fish.

That's what I thought, but wasn't sure. It seems like biological developement and/or metabolism would flush out salt. Brining dries fish ou, and fresh fish from the ocean are plenty moist in the meat. (Scientific chum has been dumped in the water on that statement LOL)

MD, That is rite ! Oysters will taste like the water that they came from.That is because they are like a clam and, they filter feed.They do have a stomach but, it wont remove the salt like the gut of a fish.
