Joe Collins and George Mi/.esko, Morehead City, fishing in Bogue Sound Saturday morning, landed a 35 pound cobia. This was the 13th cobia for Collins this season. Contrary to local superstition, cobia is fine eating. Collins says the moat is delicious, better than king mackerel. Mrs. Collins, the former Joyce Willis of Morehead City, said it was a long time before she’d try one. “Being an old down caster, it was hogfish for me or nothing,” she says, “But I finally tried it and it is delicious.” The Collins’s have their cobia steakod and either freeze it or cat it immediately. Mrs. Collins says she prefers it baked, as one bakes flounder, but lots of folks like it fried. “And there’s one thing about it,” she says, “you have only one big bone down the middle to bother with. The meat is white and de licious!” Fishing Makes Change For Better At Swansboro Standings BEAUFORT LITTLE LEAGUE W. L. Pet.
