Not sure if they are in Somerville, but most striped fish have a pretty strong fishy flavor. Last sand bass I brought home was the last one to ever visit my house….

Yellow bass are definitely fun to catch on light tackle. In my opinion they do have a stronger fishy taste but if you catch a few bigger ones (9-12 inches) try soaking the filets or whole with bones in a little water/buttermilk mixture for a few hours. Rinse, lightly season and fry them crispy...taste pretty good.
