How many restaurants do you go to and they actually have/serve large mouth bass from the menu? May be a reason for that? To each is own I guess, but there are better tasting fish to put on the plate, for sure.

As long as the black bass were imported and produced legally, or raised in licensed aquacultural facilities for consumption, then they may be legally sold in a live condition to markets. No live fish may leave the premises though. All must be killed at the market or restaurant

Bass would be too expensive to raise for commercial uses compared to other fish.

No idea in Texas, I hope it is though...
In many states, game or sportfish such as bass cannot be grown and sold as food. In other states, fish (including bass) can be sold for any purpose as long as they are raised under proper permits. It is essential that potential producers contact their state fish and wildlife agencies to determine the legal requirements in their states. The Lacey Act of 1900, the Lacey Act amendments of 1981, and the Black Bass Act of 1926 come into play when fish are transported across state lines. However, these laws are only relevant if the fish are illegally taken and states have different definitions of that term. Again, contact your local wildlife agency regarding the legalities of securing broodstock, what can and cannot be sold, and what permit is needed for transport. Even if you satisfy your own states requirements, when transporting out of state you must check the regulations of states you cross through, as well as regulations at your final destination.

Although they aren't my favorite, I think they taste better than white bass. There's no telling how many hundreds of bass I've killed accidently through the years because of the hook, air bladder, or just plain stress on the fish. At least the people cleaning them are actually eating them.
With a daily bag limit of five per person on most lakes in Texas, you're not going to put a dent in the population by keeping some for food.

Never seen crappie on the menu before but they still taste good . Maybe restaurants just don't wanna call something "crappie" on their menu's. I think most anything that's properly prepared and cooked can be good. Some folks just have differant palette's than others and like differant things.

Theres been a lot of discussion about guys being upset that people are taking bass to the cleaning tables at Texas lakes and I have to ask......If you are one of these people that catches bass to eat, have you not been to a grocery store and purchased fish that actually taste good? I have eaten probably 20-30 different types of fish in my lifetime, and I have to say that bass is probably the worst! Its fishy as hell, boney as hell and is in no way considered a delicassy. I woukldnt eat a bass if it was given to me. Now Crappie and catfish are pretty good but damn.....bass??????I dont get that one. So what do you do when you kill a bass? I take them home and eat them, and they taste great.
I hate photobucket.
