Striped bass aren’t gourmets. They’re gluttons with a sense of adventure. They eat everything from a tiny shrimp to a foot-long fish, from a crawling crab to a floating jellyfish. Next time you see one darting in the surf, know that it’s just trying to decide: “Do I go for the sand eel special, or try the squid surprise?”
And maybe—just maybe—you’ll understand that feeling of standing in front of an open fridge at 11 p.m., wondering if those leftovers are still good. Striped bass never wonder. They just eat.
