As in you can not eat them, the prick you, they have no meat, they are small, we often refer to the billions infesting Canadian lakes as garbage fish as they are good for nothing but stealing bait.[/quote:c248d]
no, you can eat them. they only prick you if you hold them the wrong way, just don't move your hands from tail to head. they don't have very much meat unless you catch the larger ones.
