That is a Sergeant Baker.

You can eat them, not bad eating, just lots of little bones.

They're great for making fish based soup

Anyone got a good recipe?

[Rafinx]

Not really a recipe, but what my mum did when I caught my first one was incorperate it into my dad's spagetti with tomato sauce.

p.s. when I say tomato sauce I mean one that gets cooked from 8am to 12 pm. not store sauce's.

The Sgt Baker makes good snapper bait. Skin very tough and stays on the hook well. I've tried eating a big one and the bones are like an eel. Nice flesh but a pain in the bum to eat.
