RJB Posted February 14, 2017 Share Posted February 14, 2017 These have been a long time coming but they arrived just yesterday. These are fish concretions from Morocco. Ive never had any experience with these and have only seen about 3 fish from Morocco that are any good, so this is truly a gamble. But if you don't gamble, you cant win. Im going to go on the prep attack on one of these today and see what happens. im excited and nervous at the same time. Wish me luck. RB 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RJB Posted February 15, 2017 Author Share Posted February 15, 2017 Welp, the very first fish concretion I attacked turned out to be a hollow mess! Very very disappointing! So I went back to prepping a lobster. RB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(one man's trash... etc.) Very well put my friend. I do go back and forth on things, so maybe someday I may attack another one of these.
