    Steamed Blackspot Goatfish With Shallots And Ginger

    in The Kitchen

    Posted · Edited by MallacootaPete

    Well...I NEVER eat ooglies or rock cod or Mother in Law fish of any kind but

    after catching a Blackspot Goatfish on Saturday...Fishfinder's skipper, Ian said take it home and steam it gently...never fry or grill it and it will be the BEST fish you have ever had.

    He said whenever they turn up in the fishmarkets...they bring $50 a kilo as they are popular with Asian restaurants.

    OK...So I tried it tonight and let me tell you...It WAS the best fish I have ever tasted!!

    It has the most fantastic taste and texture...really a standout eating fish.

    It actually tasted like a 5 star meal.

    My method was simple.

    Fillet the Goatfish and remove the ribcage and skin.

    Thai spices..a pinch

    Chop finely one spring onion (shallot)

    Sliver some fresh ginger root.

    Finely chopped parsely.

    One tablespoon of light soy sauce.

    2 Tablespoons of sesame oil.

    Place the fillets on oiled foil in a bamboo steamer.

    Sprinkle with thai spice.

    Add half the finely chopped shallots and ginger and parsely to top of fish.

    Drizzle soy sauce on fish.

    Put steamer lid on and steam for 8 minutes or until it flakes easily.

    Heat seame oil in another pan and get it very hot.

    Sprinkle remainder of shallots/ginger/parsley on fish and drizzle very hot oil on fish.

    Serve with lemon wedge and salad.

    DEEEEEELICIOUS!!!

    Try it....next time you get one..don't chuck it back or give it to

    the Mother in Law...take it home and enjoy it.

    Well done on your first marlin capture. :thumbup:

    That's one to check off the list eh?

    Pity about the local rules taking away your right to release but

    I suppose if that's it..then that's it.

    If you now have the urge to chase them here...at least you have the choice.

    Nice water colour...so blue.

    Sydney's Dirtiest Waterways

    Mate..I haven't scored a flattie since last autumn..mainly due to lack

    of trying..ie:fishing time.

    You are right about the runoff into Narra Lake which in turn feeds the weed

    and chokes it up.

    It's becoming very weedy now.

    The opening of the lake sure made a difference though this year.

    Sydney's Dirtiest Waterways

    Sydney's dirtiest waterways

    LAKE Illawarra is Sydney's dirtiest swimming spot, according to tests carried out by the NSW Government, which found the popular waterway has high levels of bacteria.

    In the tests last summer the lake, which is fed by five storm water channels, failed 61 per cent of tests for the bacteria enterococci.

    The Department of Environment and Climate Change's annual State of the Beaches report tested 131 beach and harbour watering holes in Sydney, the Illawarra and Hunter regions during summer 2006/07.

    The report reveals 103 of the swimming spots returned perfect results, meeting the Government's guidelines for acceptable levels of faecal coliform and enterococci bacteria every time they were tested.

    But of the 96 beaches and harbour spots tested across Sydney, only 71 complied every time.

    Several popular swimming spots in Sydney's north and south tested positive to levels of enterococci bacteria - which can cause meningitis and urinary tract infections.

    Manly's popular Shelly Beach passed only 79 per cent of its tests for enterococci and was the only spot tested that passed less than 90 per cent of tests for faecal coliform, cleared just 86 per cent of the time.

    Nearby Narrabeen Lagoon passed just 66 per cent of tests for enterococci while Malabar, in Sydney's eastern suburbs, failed 30 per cent of tests for the same bacteria.

    Assistant Environment Minister Verity Firth vowed to clean up the failed beaches, but said the bacteria found were well below levels considered dangerous to humans.

    "They are still way cleaner than anything that could be considered dangerous to human health,'' she said. "But we will not rest on our laurels - we know there is more to be done. We have committed $5.75 million, in partnership with local councils, to clean up Lake Illawarra. And we will be working closely, with local councils and local residents in those other areas as well.''

    The news was brighter for swimmers who will flock to popular summer tourist haunts such as Bondi, Tamarama, Cronulla and Dee Why over summer - all complied every time they were tested.

    The beaches surrounding Newcastle have also been declared some of the cleanest in NSW, with 16 beaches in the Hunter region passing 100 per cent of tests.

    In the Illawarra region, 17 of the 18 beaches tested complied with the State Government's standards 100 per cent of the time.

    Ms Firth praised the study, labelling most Sydney swimming spots the cleanest they've ever been.

    "We have invested more than $82 million on upgrading our storm water program across the state.

    "This has enabled our beaches and harbour to be probably the cleanest they have ever been."

    Rec Fishers To Get More Access To Tuna, Billfish

    Rec fishers to get more access to tuna, billfish

    The Federal Government says recreational fishermen will have better access to tuna and billfish populations under a new agreement that limits commercial fishing of the species to deeper waters.

    The Minister for Fisheries, Eric Abetz, says the agreement recognises recreational fishermen contribute over 20 per cent to the overall catch of the two fish species.

    Senator Abetz says commercial operators will be limited to a minimum depth of 400 metres, to allow recreational fishermen better access to the fish.

    He says the move will not have a big impact on commercial fishing, with most operators already opting to work in deeper waters.

    12 Rescued After Boats Capsize On Harbour

    It sounds like everyone is safe & sound thank goodness.

    It also sounds like the harbour got a bit angry today. A timely reminder for all to take care on the water. Especially when a blowy change is coming through.

    Cheers,

    Grant.

    It was a fair dinkum washing machine about 3pm and caught a lot

    of boaties unawares.

    There was some desperate scurrying for cover.

    Could Drinking Puffer Fish "pop" Ko Karoshi Or Can Jellyfish Juice Take The Sting Out Of Alzheimer's

    Could Drinking Puffer Fish "Pop" KO Karoshi or Can Jellyfish Juice Take the Sting Out of Alzheimer's

    Oct 2,2007-Also in Japan, energy drink makers are working on a stinging jellyfish-based bioluminescence beverage that glows in the dark from which the luminescent protein aequorin and the fluorescent molecule GFP have been extracted, purified, and cloned.

    02/10/07 In Japan, beverage companies are working on a safe fugu (puffer fish) extract to be used in Japanese energy drinks, the fish is highly toxic, but despite this or perhaps because of this deadly side effect, it is considered a delicacy among the Japanese. Puffer fish (Sphoeroides testudineus) poisoning results from the ingestion of fish containing the deadly nerve toxin called tetrodotoxin and it is the most common and lethal form of marine poisoning in Japan. Neurological effects vary depending on the severity of poisoning but can include numbness, slurred speech, incoordination, and paralysis. The puffer's highly toxic liver poison is 1,200 times deadlier than cyanide. A lethal dose could fit on a pinhead. Over 10,000 tons of these so-called blowfish or puffer fish are consumed in Japan each year, in fact, it is considered an anti-karoshi modality and a highly effective aphrodisiac.

    The deadly symptoms of puffer poisoning have been described by Dr. Bruce W. Halstead MD, in his book Dangerous Marine Animals, (Cornell Maritime Press, Cambridge, MD, 1959), "Symptoms of tingling about the lips and tongue and motor incoordination usually develop within 10-45 minutes after ingestion of the fish. The tingling may later spread to other parts of the body. In some instances, the numbness may involve the entire body, in which instances the victim may feel as though he were 'floating'. Excessive salivation, extreme weakness, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, abdominal pain may soon follow. Twitching of the muscles, paralysis, difficulty in swallowing, loss of voice, convulsions, and death by respiratory paralysis may ensue. More than 60 percent of the victims poisoned by this fish die. There is no specific treatment or antidote for puffer poisoning."

    Name your poison, far fetched? Also in Japan, energy drink makers are working on a stinging jellyfish-based (Aequorea victoria) bioluminescence beverage that glows in the dark from which the luminescent protein aequorin and the fluorescent molecule GFP (green fluorescent protein) have been extracted, purified, and cloned. The Sea of Japan is awash in these alien-looking, creatures, a team of researchers led by biochemist Kiminori Ushida from Riken (the Institute of Physical and Chemical Research) in Saitama and Shimva Chemical Industries in Kyoto, are working on a way to commercially extract the Glycoproteins (Qniumucin) from the giant Nomura's jellyfish which can get up to 6-foot-long, the monsters weigh in at more than 200 kilograms. This new source of ocean proteins may be reminiscent of the 1973 movie "Soylent Green", but with the exploding jellyfish populations around the world oceans, the food and beverage industry may soon have some interesting new additives, suggests the research.

    Case in point; Prevagen (aequorin) a calcium-binding protein found in jellyfish that was originally researched as a treatment for Alzheimer's and is now being marketed as an anti-aging supplement to replace age-fighting proteins lost in the normal process of aging. Studies that where conducted by Quincy Bioscience in conjunction with scientists at the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee have shown that the jellyfish protein aequorin results in a significant reduction of brain cell death in their animal studies.

    "As a member of this protein family, aequorin interacts with calcium and regulates the actions of critical processes that control the health of the cells involved in learning and memory, focus and concentration. In the brain, calcium levels affect neural cell health and calcium-binding proteins play a protective role." said Mark Y. Underwood, President of Quincy Bioscience. "We all lose these types of proteins as we grow older and our jellyfish supplement replaces them, thus fighting the aging process. People describe the effects as an increase in concentration or focus, and they are more energetic with more mental sharpness," explained Underwood.

    2 Cambodians Die After Eating Puffer Fish, Prompting Trade Ban Of The Deadly Meat

    2 Cambodians die after eating puffer fish, prompting trade ban of the deadly meat

    PHNOM PENH, Cambodia: A Cambodian provincial authority has banned the trade of puffer fish meat suspected to have caused the deaths of two villagers recently, a police official said Sunday.

    A 23-year-old man died Saturday, and a 13-year-old boy early last week, after both villagers ate salted puffer fish, Suon Phon, deputy police chief of Takeo province, said.

    He said the fish was imported from neighboring Vietnam and sold in rural markets in the province, about 90 kilometers (56 miles), south of the capital Phnom Penh.

    In the wake of the two deaths, Takeo province governor Srey Ben, banned the trade of the fish across the province to prevent further fatalities, Suon Phon said.

    The ovaries, liver and intestines of the puffer fish contain tetrodotoxin, a poison so potent that the U.S. Food and Drug Administration says it can "produce rapid and violent death."

    Fishfinder Snapper Charter Today

    in Fishing Reports

    Posted · Edited by MallacootaPete

    Well…after a 2 week delay due to crap weather…Today was the day!!

    Coollamon had originally organized it to coincide with his birthday but

    That came and went without wetting a line. So now it’s my b.day next week so that’ll do for an excuse.

    We had 8 Raiders who wanted to get into the snapper, but a last minute pullout saw the seven of us at Rose Bay Ramp at 0615 and conditions looked perfect.

    Along came Fishfinder skippered by Ian and Eon was deckie.(He earned his keep…more on that later)

    The plan was to hit the snapper grounds off Long Reef and to anchor up and get a good burley trail going and stay there all day. Fish floaters in the trail while others bottom bashed…then we’d rotate after an hour…good plan that worked well.

    Lines in the water by 7am and along come the trevors…double hookups were common

    And most scored at least one fish.

    Then 3 snapper to 1.5 kilo landed and we thought this is the spot…After a while it shut down so motored up and you guessed it…reef pick is stuck fast.

    Some quick wheelwork and a wide arc by Ian saw it freed but a little worse for wear.

    Did the same thing again and still wasn’t holding..so Ian decided it was time for the big plough anchor…Well that held in a new spot further up the reef.

    Eon worked like a trooper hauling line in and using a buoy to lift it off the reef. He looks pretty fit but he got a workout today

    A few nice mowies hit the deck and the odd ooglie. Butchers p ricks were also common.

    The jackets then moved in and took their fair share of terminal tackle but not before 2 were boated..One I got was a 6 spine job and a nice size.

    Things quietened down so it was decided to go for a drift as we could see the southerly building.

    Off to haul up the plough….You guessed it…it’s stuck like concrete too.

    Tied off and slowly motored over it and SNAP…there goes the line.

    The buoy popped up but no anchor…Sorry Tony…shit happens mate.

    So a drift for flatties produced one nice lizard and a nice Samson. I scored a couple of odd fish…a goatfish and a black spot pigfish….hey…I’ll take a couple of new species and P.Bs. hahahaha.

    Ian called a mate in Wollongong who said the southerly just went through there at 40 knots so be watchful.

    We gave it ten more minutes and saw this freight train coming up the coast and suddenly…it’s like a washing machine 1km off North Head,.

    We headed back in to worsening conditions with lots of water over the wheelhouse and deck…it was like this in the harbour too…Yachts scrambling for cover and one idiot in a rubber ducky with a severe balance problem who tried to motor into this maelstrom ahead….he turned back and disappeared in the spray and rain.

    So all in all…a productive day with about 30 fish all up which included:

    Snapper

    Morwong

    Flathead

    Leatherjackets

    Pigfish

    Goatfish

    Trevally

    Wrasse

    Oh..and the obligatory whopper PJ shark.

    Coollamon has all the pictures so he can add to this tale.

    Thanks go to Ian and Eon for putting us onto some good fighting fish and a good laugh

    Was had all day.

    Anyone who is looking at a charter …I highly recommend Tony and Ian of Fishfinder…not just because he is a sponsor, but works very hard to get you onto fish and are bloody good blokes.

    Thanks guys…it was a fun day,

    Cheers,

    Pete..

    I need some help here Raiders, is Broughton Island a Marine Reserve (NO FISHING ZONE) or can you still fish there, please help me Raiders, Hutcho and I are up there next weekend, don't want any surprises.. Cheers Ray R...

    G'day Ray,

    From first glance it appears there is a marine park off Broughton Island

    that has a "Seasonal Recreational Trolling Only" on it, plus other sanctuaries.

    Here is the map which may help.

    I don't know what that restriction involves or when it's in force.

    Hope it helps a bit.

    Cheers,

    Pete
