Fish strips
Any oily fish cut into strips — mackerel, herring, leftover bass bait. The generic ‘strip’ when you have no whole fish.
Easy
Presentation
Thin for whiting; thicker for a dogfish. Hook once so it flutters.
Not a separate animal. It is mackerel, herring or similar, cut thin. Useful when you have leftover fish bait and want a fluttering strip rather than a side.
Ranked from the species list. Commonly used — not a guarantee of catching.
- 1Cut a thin strip from frozen fish.
