OT - we are going to San Luis Reservoir. I'm gonna let Beetz be the guinea pig.

OK, I am not a fisheries biologist or anything, but if you catch some legal-sized fish, I'd definitely cut out the red meat, and I would only eat sashimi from something close to barely-legal (heh) sized. They can't spawn there, so that fish is probably a fairly recent arrival from the Delta, and hasn't had a chance to soak up as much heavy metal and other crap in the lake.

I've heard that there's a Chinese restaurant on the road leading to Santa Nella from 152 where, if you catch a striper and take it in, they'll prepare it for you for a small fee...never tried it, though.

Good luck!
