Ray R Posted March 14, 2009 Share Posted March 14, 2009 Hi Raiders, need some info on Longtails, if you get them what do you do with them, do you fillet , cook some how, methods? strip them salt 'em and use for bait ?, or if you dont want them do they survive if returned to the briney. Hope I can get some info from experienced Raiders.. Cheers.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

slinkymalinky Posted March 14, 2009 Share Posted March 14, 2009 G'day Ray, Fantastic sashimi and cooked too. If you cook it, it needs to be done like Yellowfin i.e. treat it like a steak. Cook it fast and rare. Tuna cooked the right way is one of the best fish ever... overcook it and it's dry and disgusting. It's a genuine premium table fish mate... don't waste it as bait. Cheers, Slinky Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blackfish Posted March 14, 2009 Share Posted March 14, 2009 Make sure you bleed them. Tie a rope around their tail, give them a slit up behind their gill plate. Make sure your doing this over the side otherwise it could get a bit messy. Chill them down and as Slinky explained don't overcook. MMMMMMMM, delicious.

Could get very messy hanging them over the side on a rope with the blood draining up in Weipa. The sharks are still trying to eat the longtails when you have them in the boat. We always keep a couple for an afternoon snack when we get back to yhe boat. Bruce Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
