Can You Eat Long Tom

[kiwi waynie]

Hi Guys,

I went for a fish at the Pittwater this morning, nothing great 1 squid, 3 small bream.

And this long Tom

I was wondering if they are edible, i didn't keep it, far to cool lookin like somthing from the dinosour time.

Just curious thats all.

Thanks

ive heard u can eat them and i know of a fellow raider that has eaten them and liked them,

although i know there wouldnt be much meat on the skinny buggers,

but u can certainly eat them...

Yes you can eat them and they good eating but most people find the little green bones a bit off-puting, give them a go you may be suprised. Oh yeah fillet and fry!!

Bait is were they normally end up for me. They would probably be OK smoked.

you can eat them but they have too many small bones,i just let them go as well.

Thanks Heaps Guy's,

I think I'll keep lettin em go still, just that i was trying to catch a feed and didn't go that well.

It just got me curious, i thought they were no good.

too many bones and it tastes mediocre, better to release it IMO, great fun on really light tackle tho!

cut off his head, clean him up and stuff butter,garlic and onions in his guts...salt, cracked black pepper

wrap him in foil 40 mins on 220 and

heaps of meat on the skinny bugger and you have to pick it off them bones but they are great!

..cheers!..stevo!..
