Great looking fish man! I've never caught or eaten Cobia, but i'm a big fan of salt water fish.

I should have been selfish and grabbed the rod first, jk. After all, I did get the big spade last time we went out.

Other side and just a bit further down, we were anchored on the York Spit, mouth of the York River in Virginia.

That one was caught on a Bunker "steak" (head and tail cut off). We were also fishing with live eels and whole Bunker.

This is a very mild tasting fish. I like it poach or steam it, then cover it with sauce and a nice green salad on the side. yumm
2 cobia fillets, medium
Juice of 3 lemons
1 bay leaf
1/2 lb butter
1 tbsp flour
2 egg yolks
1/2 pt cream
1/2 cup wine, dry white
1 salt & pepper to taste
The fillets should be about 1/2 inch thick. Marinate them for 1 hour in the
juice of two lemons and 1 bay leaf. Sprinkle well with salt and coarse
black pepper. Now roll the fillets, fasten with a toothpick to hold the
roll, and place them in a deep frying pan. Cover with water and poach for 5
minutes. Strain water from fish; save. Melt butter, carefully mixing in
flour until the hole thing is smooth and golden. Add strained fish stock.
Boil for 15 minutes and strain the sauce. Season to taste with white wine
and lemon juice. Keep sauce hot and blend in the cream into which has been
stirred the 2 well-beaten egg yolks. Remove toothpicks from fillets & Cover
w/sauce.

do they come up into the Chesapeake bay? Ive been around freshwater fish all my life and have only been around salt/brackish water the last couple years since moving here...
Coia come up the Bay, but not too far. One way to catch 'em is to anchor up, and chum. Later in the season you can see 'em swimming near buoys and can cast to them. Use the trick of keeping the hooked cobia in the water near the boat - other cobia will follow.... and you can cast to them. GREAT EATS! Just some Montreal Steak seasoning and toss 'em on the grill. Good job!

Thank You NRA
Do the Cobia fight as hard as I've been told? I've caught nice Rock that have fought hard, but have yet to encounter a Cobia.
I believe unfortunately they really don't visit the areas around Breezy Point or Chesapeake Beach? But I am hearing Red Drum are up in this part of the Bay? Maybe we'll never get any Cobia, but we have a chance of catching the Drum.

They put up a pretty good fight, this one came up to the boat without to much hassle, but when she saw the net the game was on. Multiple runs under, and away from the boat, and up to two guides in the water.
Blue Fin, thanks for the recipe, might try that tonight.
