A good-sized sand bream like this one is one of the most delicious panfish local waters have to offer.

Sand bream, also called mojarra, are a deliciously edible local fish that a lot of people mistakenly think are only good for bait — just like squirrelfish (aka sand perch), pigfish, and sugar trout.

My girlfriend Alexandra and I have been fishing on the south end of Gasparilla Island for almost a month now, and in addition to lots of snook and redfish, we have seen several sand bream caught at the beach on hook and line. We have also seem some larger sand bream caught in a cast net.
