Fuj Posted January 16, 2007 Share Posted January 16, 2007 Howdy Raiders, Hit the beloved Port Hacking, still getting used to the boat after getting my lisence first go... there's a link on the nsw maritime website where u can do the test, again&again&again&..... I did book a 1/2 day course but the slackers cancelled it without notifying me! Lucky I checked the day before, and booked the test with maritimes, 2 hours later... gold... I digress. Anyrate, started early with sum chummy trail near South West Arm and managed a solitary slimey! Threw it back out with a piercing and whammo... new Penn set-up does it's job and the braid starts taking off. Hoping for a kingy, it gave up like a Pommy tailender and a psycho Bonito jumps in. As soom as they came, they were gone, along with the slimies. The pickers soon attacked en-masse and I busted out of there. The wind came in so I seeked some shelter in Gymea Bay, picking up plenty of legal stuff but kept the biggest snapper and whiting. Took it back for the fam, sashimi bonito and bbq'd the rest, yum. The Port is awesome when everyone's back to work, hardly anyone out there. Fuj. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest IFishSick. Posted January 16, 2007 Share Posted January 16, 2007 Nice bag of fish you've got there. Port seems to be getting better as the weeks go on. Can't say as much for the Bay though. Top stuff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fuj Posted January 16, 2007 Author Share Posted January 16, 2007 Bonito is a fav of mine, love it on the barbie wrapped in foil with a bit of olive oil, I was told its not worth eating but I would have to say its up there with my fav fish. ben Not wrong there Ben, mum and dad were arguing whether to do raw or tataki style (seared for couple min then straight into ice cold water, slice into pieces with grated ginger and shallots & soy). Mum used to own a Japanese restaurant.... she won the argument! You have to kill, bleed and ice the fish 4 best results I reckon. Cheers, Fuj.

Guest Jewel Posted January 17, 2007 Share Posted January 17, 2007 I used to think that they were only good for bait, but at Fishrunners insistance I tried them. They now rate among my favorite fish, I have tried them a few ways but this is how I have found them to be best. I cut the skinned fillet into large chunks, roll them in seasoned flour and shallow fry untill golden on the outside. Serve with a squeeze of lime and a dusting of black pepper Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jrzila Posted January 17, 2007 Share Posted January 17, 2007 Great catch there. Only way to eat bonito is raw with the wasabi and soy. I find it too dry once cooked. Anyone tried jew fish sashimi, it is the best. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flightmanager Posted January 17, 2007 Share Posted January 17, 2007 I love it , ( just as well , I have a few in the freezer). If you find it dry , you may have overcooked it. Save the carcasses for burley! Ross Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
