Here is how to clean them super duper easy.

Literally I can break one down in like 5 min and I'm an amateur. I always have then on ice in the chest for awhile, when I get them home the slime just washes off super easy. Then it's a matter of cutting them with a sharp knife. You don't need pliers to hold the skin like he shows, I just grabbed the skin with my fingers and it's fine (they aren't slippery without the slime). I keep the belly meat too which is an extra step he doesn't show. I trim the blood line but I'm not anal about it. They taste good like that fried up for sure.
As for the mullet, I kept some once but never tried them and then my wife made me throw it away last freezer cleaning
I had every intention of smoking them but just never remembered when I'd get out the smoker. I would also note, I think it's not a legal means to catch them with a net for consumption, only as bait. But I could be mistaken.
Also, stingrays are good eats.
Sharks are ok if you clean them right and ideally before the urea seeps into the meat (fun fact, sharks don't have natural bladders and they pee through their skin...).
Can you tell I'm not afraid to eat anything haha.
Oh ya,I caught a big jack in Trinidad. Cleaned it myself, even left the dreaded bloodline on. Fried it up and it taste like steak.
