Hi all, Long time reader first time Poster, just wanted to introduce myself and say hello. You all seem like a pretty laid back bunch of fellas and this is definately one of my favourite sites. Looking forward to contributing to posts from here on and hopefully sharing many fishing success stories.... I am in Sydney but have fished all over the place both boat and land based. I do not own a boat so mainly land based currently but am hoping that will change one day in the near future..... Cheers. KK

Hi all, Long time reader, 1st time poster.... I only joined today so I thought I could offer you a little tip for tender Octopus and Squid. Yes I am Greek but one of my closest friends is also a 5 star chef and Im not too bad of a cook myself. Smashing it on the rocks is a great way to get some exercise and tenderise your occy.... in addition a little secret is to soak it in milk for approx 30 minutes (covered) after you have cleaned it. Then drain it cut it and most importantly cook it quickly on high heat. If you cook it slowly it stews and thats what makes it tough. Marinate it in Olive Oil, Lemon Juice and dried Oregano, basting it while it cooks. You wont get a better occy meal trust me...... the milk "soaking" works even better with Calamari... and it does not alter the taste in the slightest. Kali Orexi.. (bon apetit)
