First you have to learn how to clean the fish. You have to have someone show you. Look up cooking..Hassar curry.. That's what it is called in Guyana. Then you have to learn how to eat it..getting the bones off to get maximum meat.
@@RasheedsFam lake Toho, felsmere grand lakes, pretty much anywhere in the St Johns river, Best place, canals, They love Canals, Dont forget the cast net!
It’s called Hassa in Guyana, Cascadua in Trinidad. It’s edible and actually very delicious… especially if cooked in a curry and coconut sauce. It’s an expensive fish in the USA, and Canada. Take a bit of preparation, but it’s worth it in the end.
I am almost 40, and have been fishing all over in Florida my ENTIRE life and have NEVER seen one of these until tonight when my sister caught one and asked me what it was. I had to Google it because I had never even heard of them. That's CRAZY! BUT OH SO AWESOME!
Guys the scientific name is Hoplosternum littorale. Its a family of catfish as you are aware. The different names given by people familiar with this fish is the local name in their country. People shouldnt bring negativity to the forum and expect the florida locals to know every name of the fish from every tropical foreign local. Thats just ignorant. At any rate, good catch guys, there are heaps of youtube videos on how to cook them. To the people who are saying they screw up the environment, blah, blah, blah, the fish was first detected in florida since 1995. So might as well accept the fish, they not going anywhere and have setup a second home. People asking where to find them, they are all over florida "fresh" water ways, meaning no salt. Best Wishes
One of the best tasting fresh water fish. It sells here in Canada for $13 per pound. It is called Cascadoo or hassa. People from Trinidad and Guyana loves this fish. Had some in curry today. The ones from Florida is the best
Every guyanese love that fish, it's cooked mostly in curry with water gravy or coconut milk, it has to be cooked with the shell on, it cannot be removed unless it's cooked so the shells has to be scrubbed well with a brush, wash with lemon then salt and flour, inside to be cleaned well also, it's delicious when cooked with green mango or tamarind and sigan-moringa drum sticks, hope this info helps, other garnishes like scallions and parsley
Decisions fueled by ignorance can be devastating sometimes. First iguanas, now hasser, windfall supplies of food that may be condemned. Harvesting of these sources of food would automatically control the populations. What is usually not mentioned is that, some may be condemned in order to maintain commercial values of others.
Yes, you are correct. Florida law says it is against the law to put a non-native species in a state body of water. "That was not verbatim." If you ever question whether something is legal or not look it up. Because enen if you catch the fish in Florida waters you can not throw it back, if it is a none native species.
Rodman reservoir in Putnam Florida. It’s going to be harder to find them. This was film during the draw down of Rodman damn. It concentrated the fish in one location. Now the damn is filling back up and won’t be drowned down for another 7 years.
Had never heard of these until yesterday..... I saw a man at a St. John's river boat ramp with a 5 gal bucket and a big cooler full of these and tilapia. He said he had spent the day on the river cast netting them from a john boat which he push-polled out to his spot. Apparently he sells them for a living. After watching this video and reading the comments, I'm regretting not buying a few from him.
Is it crazy that I know exactly who you’re talking about?! My dad and I saw him on Satellite Blvd off of 520. Then we saw him again at the Leroy Wright Recreation Area. This was about 2 years ago.
This fish is not cat fist in south America it's call Hassa, clean with lime and salt cook with coconut milk and seasoning to taste boil for 30 minutes and enjoy only one bone
Dude that is a lot of catfish in one throw! Crazy! You should have thrown again. I would of loved to see how much more you would get. That spot had to be loaded Great job guys! I hear they taste ok. Never had any before. Have an awesome new year!
Hey can you tell me where the location from the beginning of the video is? I am in broward by the sawgrass expressway off the Atlantic exit, we have been trying to find a spot like that to throw our cast net off the shore and get a lot of them to eat. Any information would be greatly appreciated, thank you.
That fish is called Hassar in Guyana South America, it's a delicious fish normally cooked in Curry also it's a delicacy Guyanese people I bought them in Queens NYC they have the ones from Florida and Guyana.
(29°32'33"N 81°50'14"W) but u have to get it before next month. The fish is concentrated right now due to the Reservoir being emptied. Next month it’s going to be back up and won’t be low for another 7 years. It be harder to get em with a net. Ur best bet is bow fishing near the Rodman damn or salt spring. They are all over there as well. I use a sling shot with harpoon to get them.
We in Suriname eat them. They are even protected during our raining season, when they make nests and lay eggs. If this was Suriname, trust me, there wouldn't be so much of them left. We call it Kwie kwie and cook it in a curry sauce.
Can you tell me where you guys going to catch that fish where I come from we love eating that fish is so delicious what's the name of the place please can you tell me
Right!!!!! We were really shocked when making this video. They so neat looking. We weren’t even trying to make a video. We just drove by and happen to have camera. Lol. But what a great opportunity to not only make a video but to make others aware of what’s harming our waters. (Ricky)
sorry guys what you have there is Hoplosternum littorale commonly known as the Brown Hoplo, or Hassa, they are from parts of the Caribbean and South America,where they are a delacy! all you have to do is say exactly where you found them, and you can bet tomorrow you wont find one! to Guyanese these things are like Gold!
I love these...i pay $ a lot for the Florida ones here in Canada. Had these since i was a little girl Growing up in Guyana. They are called Hassa..very tasty.

Thank you for setting a good example and not releasing (killing) these fish. They are invasive and are causing many problems in our local ecosystems.
I've been eating this for years

Magnus Dominus yes sir. We had to make sure they didn’t head back into the water. Lol. But it’s crazy how many there was.
@@ChallengingTheOutdoors
too many.
I cut 2 of them in my backyard pond, was not sure what to do with them and released them back in the pond. One is over 2lb and second one was 1.17lb
Caught one on my dock in the st.johns river last year... had no idea what it was and threw it back..
Give me that location please...

You can't throw those back at all. You have to either eat them or kill them and dispose. Best thing is to stew or curry them.
