Help - What Is It?

[Kooks]

I caught this fish the other night. I guess it's some type of cod. I had a look around the web but there so many cod out there it's hard to narrow it down. I let him go anyway as I had steak ready to be cooked at home.

So what sort of fish is it?

What sort of eating quality?

thanks

Its called a Wirrah and not good to eat and should be released if possible.

It's a wirrah. If you burnt the steak on the BBQ, it would still taste better than the fish!

Mate,

Too many quality fish out there.This bloke falls into the boil a brick and the fish in the same pot story. When the brick turns red add sauce,toss the fish away and go your hardest at the brick, it taste better. live and let live with these blokes and any other catch we dont really need to keep.

i disagree on the taste. I've never actually cooked one, but i've eaten it as sashimi and it is very very good. And I know my sashimi...

the pros get 12 to 15 dollars a kg at the markets ,so some one knows how to cook them .
