Triggers are great table fare. You need a very sharp filet knife as it feels like you are cutting through a football or basketball.
The filets are very mild; they are on my top five list.

Triggers rock as table fare. Tough skinned, but I allways just gut them and put the whole fish on the grill and flip after 5 minutes and cook the other side. Easier to peel the tough skin off and eat.

According to my scuba instructors, who've I made good friends with and they were telling me that there is a dive site called Shark River where in late August a lot of tropical fish, including triggers end up here after being stuck in the gulf current. And since they won't survive the winter, it's basically free game.
Also, I believe the Grey Trigger is commonly associated to the Jersey coast.

My kids won't eat tangs (or other herbivores), Joe, they say they taste like vegetables. Grouper is excellent! BTW, ever see pics of the fishing docks in places like The Philippines? Big Angels (blue face, emperor, etc) are stacked like cordwood for the market. Hobbyists take such a tiny number of fish, its hardly worth mentioning. (Yes, there are a couple of exceptions.)

It is a pretty good fish if I recall, though one with a risk of ciguatera poisoning.
Ciguatoxic fish yummy!
