quaddy Posted October 16, 2008 Share Posted October 16, 2008 going for a fish tomorrow night. going to try the advice of jewgaffer regarding squid for bait but would like a back up plan.

If you go to "the" fish markets try a place called Claudios, they usually have great looking hawkesbury river squid. Looks way fresher than anything else....

Laredo Posted October 16, 2008 Share Posted October 16, 2008 (edited) I'd never bought squid best rest assured they aren't nearly as good as they tend to need to be truly fresh, rather than just not off. Also I personally wouldn't consider buying anything that came from a hawkesbury trawler. Edited October 16, 2008 by Laredo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Generally the squid from the fishmarkets aren't that good, but sometimes you can get some really fresh stuff.. Just learn what fresh squid looks like and if it looks off, don't buy it. I've bought some really fresh stuff from there.... Once I went and saw a tub with a sign "Live Squid"... my first thought was "yeah right"... but when I looked closely I could see the pigmentation of the skin was still pulsing.. that squid would have only been caught a couple of hours ago! I quickly bought a couple of kg and took them home and froze em! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
