Josh88 Posted March 25, 2008 Share Posted March 25, 2008 (edited) Hi all, Just thought i would do a poll on what everyones favourite eating fish is. I've listed a fair few options, if your favourite is not up there, press other and post what fish it is. My favourite is Fingermark by a loooong way!

Josh88 Posted March 25, 2008 Author Share Posted March 25, 2008 Sorry guys, its not i don't rate whiting i just forgot to put it in there! And i don't mean to be comparing other reef fish with coral trout, just saying if it is in that category. Has anyone else actually had fresh fingermark, i had it a couple hours after i caught it and it was just unbeatable in my books Cheers Josh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sammy0884 Posted March 25, 2008 Share Posted March 25, 2008 Sorry, but i'm going to have to say Gemfish, with Blue Eye Cod coming a close second. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jewgaffer Posted March 26, 2008 Share Posted March 26, 2008 I agree with Slinkymalinky Red Emperor gets my vote in front of snapper and properly prepared jewfish cocktails. It's much cheaper to buy Red Emperor than it is to catch them !! Cheers jewgaffer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xtosea Posted March 26, 2008 Share Posted March 26, 2008 Out of the ones listed i would say Coral Trout. EASYYY Kamil Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andrew399 Posted March 26, 2008 Share Posted March 26, 2008 That is sooooooooo hard!! There are so many top fish! I went the coral trout but there are so many close seconds! Another top fish is threadfin salmon... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tuffy Posted March 26, 2008 Share Posted March 26, 2008 I agree with Jigholio - PEARL PERCH - PERLIES, PERLIES and more PEARLIES!!!! Tuffy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hulafish Posted March 26, 2008 Share Posted March 26, 2008 Its gotta be fresh sand whiting by a country mile , coated in flour and into the frying pan. Followed closely by fresh gemfish . Cheers , hulafish Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Davemmm Posted March 26, 2008 Share Posted March 26, 2008 Coral trout or Red Emperor both up at the top. Mind you some people call me strange as I love good fresh Nannygai. I'll take that over most Sydney fish. With all due respect to other members tastebuds but the only way I could put a Kingy in my top ten is if you include the fight they put up as part of the rating. Each to their own though. Dave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Braidbuster Posted March 26, 2008 Share Posted March 26, 2008 I vote for fish.....shellfish.It may be selfish but i want crayfish! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(Those fish aren't my top 10 by the way, just the ones i thought of) Josh Edited March 26, 2008 by Josh88 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
youngy555 Posted March 26, 2008 Share Posted March 26, 2008 Freshly beaten carp fillets, preferebly from the upper, dirtier reaches of the hunter river, salted for a day or two and fried in chilli-infused olive oil.... ten points for imaginiation? Haha, No seriously the tastiest fish i recall eating was some bbq'd spanish makeral steaks a few years back up the whitsundays, but nothing beats the old whiting. Bring on the weekend.

You had me going on the carp for a second . The mackeral as sashimi is great, add a bit of lemon and its right up there, different texture to tuna, kingfish, salmon etc... but the taste is great.

youngy555 Posted March 26, 2008 Share Posted March 26, 2008 never tried sashimi, have no real idea what it is, guessin raw fish? anyone got a easy, tasty recipe to give it a shot next time i catch a kingie? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sashimi is raw fish, the best piece of fish for this is usually the belly area which is what surrounds the guts, cut this out and wash it in icy water. Leave it in the fridge for a few hours and eat with soy, wasabi and lemon. Tastes great Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
