If I remember correctly, they taste fine it’s just that they’re like 90% bone and it’s all that flimsy garbage that turns into spikes in the predators mouth

If I remember correctly...

You don't. :D

They are actually less boney than other boney fish and mostly have cartilaginous skeletal tissue. They aren't eaten much because they have thick, rubbery, mucusy skin (up to 2-3/4" thick), and then a thick, gelatinous layer that's 90% water. But sea lions do eat them. So do sharks and orcas.

You should see my reply. They are not 90% bone. They barely have any bones at all.
