Flattieman Posted January 25, 2007 Share Posted January 25, 2007 Slimies and yakkas (as pk-fisn pointed out) are supposed to be good eating when smoked (a favourite of Japanese people) - I did read a magazine article about the subject a while back. The author was very pleased with the eating qualities. Flattieman. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
james1990 Posted January 27, 2007 Author Share Posted January 27, 2007 Also how are pike on the tooth? I might have to buy a smoker where can i get one and how do they work? cheers james Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flattieman Posted January 28, 2007 Share Posted January 28, 2007 Also how are pike on the tooth? I might have to buy a smoker where can i get one and how do they work? cheers james Judging by their smelly slime, I don't think they'd be great to eat. Just a guess, though. I've personally never used a smoker, but I think you burn some substances under a thatched container which holds your fish. The heat cooks the fish and the smoke is infused in the flesh. Flattieman.

We normally deep fried Pike and it goes down quite good with the drink of your choice . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

silverbike Posted February 22, 2007 Share Posted February 22, 2007 You can smoke fish in a wok, if you have one. I think you put some foil at the bottom and put your smoking chips on that (mesquite and bourbon chips can be got at bunnings). Then you put your prepared fish on a rack above the chips, cover tightly and smoke over low heat until done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aussie big bob Posted April 25, 2007 Share Posted April 25, 2007 Well I can say that I have caught a few shovel nose sharks ( ray ) and have released them till the other day down in port Kembla when I had the partner in the boat and we caught one which I was going to release but she said no. The fish was taken home and cleaned which mind you that took some work. It was then cut into short pieces And marinaded in some stuff which I can not tell you. This was left for approx 4 hours in the fridge. It was then crumbed and deep-fried. And believe me when I tell you I am not a great fish eater but it was very very good so I would recommend.that you try it. cheers Bob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mark* Posted April 25, 2007 Share Posted April 25, 2007 (edited) i have also heard that shovel nose are top eating. my grandpa who doesnt eat fish (does eat crabs, oysters, lobsters etc) says it is the best fish he has had but also says he doesnt eat the fillets but the meat in the flaps next to the head or sumthing. says the same thing with stingrays. but he said there is a trick to it so cant tell you anymore cos i dnt no. regards mark Edited April 25, 2007 by Mark_17 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaybee Posted April 26, 2007 Share Posted April 26, 2007 Hey James, I smoke the big Slimies. They are great when cold, a couple of crackers and a cold beer . You can buy smokers from any tackle shop. They're simple to use, they come with a little metho burner and a bag of sawdust to get you started. I make my own brine with salt and brown sugar. The best fish to smoke are the oilier type like Tailor and Makeral. Cheers Jeff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aussie big bob Posted April 26, 2007 Share Posted April 26, 2007 mark I can say is your grand dad is right they are good eating and the part about the rays and shovle nose would make sence as they are both rays. But i also think that your grand dad is throwing the good part away by not eating the fillets cheers bob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gretsch Posted May 3, 2007 Share Posted May 3, 2007 Yakkas are good sashimi believe it or not.. Tetsuya serves them in his restaurant. They have a similar flesh to trevally. They need to be big though otherwise, the peices are too small and bloody. Slimies are great when smoked. The Poms eat them all the time. On the Lifestyle Food Channel, I see them cooking them up all the time. I have never just fried them, always smoked in my Weber. Recipe is: Split and bone the Slimey (back bone, pin bones and rib cages out) Rub brown sugar and salt into the flesh and leave for a couple of hours or, overnight (you need to be generous with the sugar and salt and really rub it in) Load your Weber with a cool fire. I spread the coals out either side because you don't want direct heat. Put some soaked hickory chuncks on top of the coals to create the smoke Whack the split fish in skin side down and put the lid on leaving the air vent open. Smoke for about 20 minutes (longer if you like them a little bit more bown) Done. They taste very good, Bit like a kipper. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
henryinnis Posted May 3, 2007 Share Posted May 3, 2007 Yeah, my friend eats the english mackeral (a pathertic excuse for a yakka) apparently quite good Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
emetic Posted December 1, 2008 Share Posted December 1, 2008 for stripeys cut into long slab fillets ... roll liberally in cajun spices... sear edges on hotplate (don't cook the fish through, you just want to sear the edge). slice into sashimi slices. tastes beautiful Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I get put off yakkas when i see doctors all over them, so im assuming you would prepare it as you would a king.

jamesds Posted January 4, 2009 Share Posted January 4, 2009 I'm a Pom and I have to agree that smoked mackerel is very good. And it's not just like kipper, it is kipper! kipper = smoked mackerel. At least in the UK anyway. Yakkas are good sashimi believe it or not.. Tetsuya serves them in his restaurant. They have a similar flesh to trevally.

industrial Posted January 7, 2009 Share Posted January 7, 2009 (edited) A favourite of the Chinese can be ok at times,a delicacy in Japan, is a worry for me. being of chinese origin myself, i can say that in this case (yakkas & slimies) your comments are totally untrue (not saying that you are racist or anything) yakkas are great when the fillet is cut into pieces and cooked like sweet&sour pork (fried first) both yakkas and slimies can make great sushi and sashimi Edited January 7, 2009 by industry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
