They are excellent eating.....Tasty Toadies! Here's how you clean them....their guts are poisonous so just eat the meat. Fried they are awesome, use to catchthem and eat them all the time in Palm Beach Florida. The section he pulls out in the video is all meat, no rib cage, just a backbone. We also use to wade around in the oysterbeds at night and gig them. http://drumwagon.com/dw-images/toadfish.wmv
