Black Drum…
Black drum gets its name from its ability to produce croaking or drumming sounds with the air bladder. While some prefer flounder, red drum, snapper, or some more glamorous fish, many anglers maintain that black drum less than five pounds, cleaned and prepared properly, may be better than many of these so-called “choice” fish. Drum is the perfect choice for any menu because it is great cooked in any way.
