Without a doubt!

And I wouldn't eat it. To many bones. But I do know people that do eat them.

"Go hunt for meat at Walmart."
 
I wonder if it would be worth a hoot smoked? In Montana we smoked whitefish.
.......and before someone says it, we didn't use zig zags or a pipe!

Tell us how it turns out!
