Soaked in buttermilk, seasoned with various peppers, lightly braised, resoaked and seasoned and then finally grilled to perfection?

Obviously, you haven't read about the inherent complete and total inedibility of lobefinned fish. Aside from selling them to obsessed Western scientists, the locals in the Mascarenes consider coelacanths to be utterly useless beyond using the scales to file down bicycle tires prior to repairing a puncture.
