Sydney Harbour Bream And Catfish

[ilk fish]

greetings guys

went to double bay after my late afternoon shift.

started to fish on the warf at 2200 hrs.

simply threw in a large peeled prawn on a two hook rig ( 1/0 black magic hooks) on 6lb line (unweighted)

got 8 legal sized bream. ps it does take quite a few hours, and the bream bite extremely softly.

I also caught a few catfish about 2 to 3 kilos each. are they any good to eat, and do you have

to cut off the spines, etc etc. ???? ????

regards ilk

they taste horrible but I've heard you can eat them in soup. I wouldn't though

I know it's an old, often repeated recipe... but it works for catfish.

Put the catfish and 2 housebricks in a large pot of water and heat over a high flame. When the bricks are soft.... throw away the catfish and eat the bricks.

I have never eaten an estuary catfish, but the freshwater catfish (Tandanus tandanus) taste superb especially if they are small. The bigger ones are a bit greasy.
