Not the same bonito. What we call bonito are actually little tunny which are similar to the black skipjack that are found off parts of SoCal, mexico and central america. We very rarely get "true" bonito in the gulf.

See here: http://orangebeachfishingforum.com/fishingforum/Topic234433-2-1.aspx ("Can you eat Bonito")

I was raised eating (sometimes, when there was nothing else to eat) Atlantic Bonito / Striped Apes whatever nickname you want to call them & the False Albacores / Little Tunny were kept for bait or thrown back. Just depends on your own taste though. I've only caught a few Atlantic Bonito here (& they were on the same day, same place). 

I wonder if you could fry up cigar minnows or herring if you really wanted to? =P

I smoked jack once was'nt to bad just hard to roll and get lit up.                       I've ate worst things I guess..............

And in the days that followed the islanders came to know him as kane mano, the shark hunter.......

I'll let you know.  Gonna eat me own this weekend.  Figured I'd prepare it like a blue fish and see what happens.  John G., I liked your post about eating the skillet.  That was some funny sh*t

I life without fishing is one not worth living
