=={{anchor|Bonefishing}} Fishing and cuisine== Bonefish are considered one of the premier fly and light tackle game fish.<ref name= "Suescun 2014" >{{cite web |last1=Suescun |first1=Alex |title=All About Bonefish |url=https://www.saltwatersportsman.com/species/fish-species/all-about-bonefish/ |website=saltwatersportsman.com |date=24 December 2014 |publisher=Salt Water Sportsman |access-date=10 December 2020}}</ref> Fishing for bonefish, called bonefishing, is a popular sport in the [[Bahamas]], Puerto Rico, southern [[Florida]], [[Cargados Carajos]]. Since bonefish live in shallow inshore water, fishing may be done by wading or from a shallow-draft boat. Bonefishing is mostly done for the sport, so the fish are [[catch and release|released]], but they may also be eaten in less developed areas. A typical Bahamian recipe is a split fish seasoned with [[pepper sauce]] and salt, then baked.<ref>Darwin Porter, Danforth Prince, ''Frommer's Bahamas'', 20th edition, 2012, {{ISBN|1118287517}}, p. 27.</ref> Bonefish are notoriously wary and great skill must be taken both in approach and presentation when fishing for them. English-speaking fishermen often refer to them as "grey ghosts."<ref name= "Suescun 2014" />
