5ky Posted August 1, 2010 Share Posted August 1, 2010 Hi Guys, went down to windang, fished off some rocks, and at least caught 4x of these fish, but unsure if they were any good, ended up throwing them back as I asked around people around me, and they all don't know, lol, so are these edible or not? they seem quiet easy to catch,......

mikeh191 Posted August 1, 2010 Share Posted August 1, 2010 I dont think it is but it looks like a ling fish but with a different tail. If it is there good eating. Cheers Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slinkymalinky Posted August 1, 2010 Share Posted August 1, 2010 That's a Bearded Cod (or Beardiy for short). I used to catch a heap of them in Tasmania. Yep... they're edible... if you like eating fish with the texture of cat food. Do yourself a favour and don't bother. Cheers, Slinky Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
still learning Posted August 2, 2010 Share Posted August 2, 2010 (edited) Must agree with slinky. as a general rule if you don't know what it is and you catch lots of them they probably are not very good eating, take salmon as an example if they tasted any good they would be extinct LOL! Most good table fish have bag limits etc so you will be familiar with them. cheers Edited August 2, 2010 by still learning Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
