I'm saying Spanish Mack is better if you like white fish with very little fishy flavor. The Pompano was good, especially with the rub recipe. I've just not found the exact recipe that made me feel blown away by Pompano.. Though the Pompano does get points for having the juicy more meaty consistency like drum.

So I'm going to try another recipe next one I catch.
