Kooks Posted October 27, 2010 Share Posted October 27, 2010 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 Yowie Posted October 28, 2010 Share Posted October 28, 2010 (edited) It's a wirrah. If you burnt the steak on the BBQ, it would still taste better than the fish! Yowie. Edited October 28, 2010 by yowie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 terryjbsmartin Posted October 30, 2010 Share Posted October 30, 2010 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.

0 autocad Posted November 2, 2010 Share Posted November 2, 2010 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... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
