Was up at the lease 3 weeks ago and my buddy picked about 4. We took them back and sliced the skin off. ...my first time eating them and I would have to say they were excellent. Who knew. The mexicans call them cactus tuna.

Sounds good

You can use a torch to burn the tiny thorns off before you pick them. You still need to skin them, but at least you wont get as many stickers that way.
