Keflapod Posted April 17, 2012 Share Posted April 17, 2012 (edited) Hi Trung, Just looking at that first photo, I thought you had found an oil spill in the bay. Seeing the second photo, I thought that the squid caught in that area of the spill had mutated into something extraterrestrial ! But of course it was a cuttlefish. That thing must have pissed it's pants to release so much ink. Did you show it a frypan as it was coming up? Or maybe it saw the mother of all kings swim by and said far.....KING fish!,,, A couple of nice bonnies there to get you warmed up. But the squid only caught a chocolate coated donut ? With sprinkles ? And you do six in an hour ? When do you have time to fish if you're scoffing donuts ? Oh I get it - you fish IN BETWEEN donut sessions... Wouldn't want to spoil a good doughnut by having a rod go off.... You probably didn't even put a squid onto the hooks when downrigging in case the rod goes off and you have to put the donut down to get the rod.... What a terrible intrusion that would be into a good donut session... Seriously, I'm surprised you didn't turn a reel on a hoodie. You certainly have the knowledge and experience. I wonder what will happen to the fish and squid after all this rain we're now having... It's been a funny season for weather...

The cuttle fish inked it pants when I told it was going to strip him up for kingfish bait! I got about 5kg for it now! I have never eaten fresh cuttle fish before.. any one cooked some up before? How does it compare to fresh squid? Cheers Trung Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are good but a bit chewy. I tried several different "suggestions" for tenderization and found that the kiwifruit/milk soak was the best. I ate some many years ago that was prepared by a mates father and it was soft like fish cocktails but I have no idea how he did it. He was a merchant seaman so who knows where he found out how to prepare it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hnsgeq Posted April 18, 2012 Share Posted April 18, 2012 Hi guys. I caught a cuttle in the Harbour 2 seasons back and it decided to ink the carpet in the boat! Still has stains in it 2 seasons on.....lol. +1 for the kiwifruit/milk tenderising process. Works a treat. Cuttlefish is nice on the plate!

I have never eaten fresh cuttle fish before.. any one cooked some up before? How does it compare to fresh squid? Cheers Trung Cuttlefish is very nice, even at the bigger sizes. It needs to be cooked slowly on a low heat. I strip it up and put it in a pot with water, oil, red wine, vegie stock and a jar of italian pasta sauce. Simmer on a low heat for an hour. It will be tender. If you boil it on a high heat, I find it will toughen up. When it's cooked, strain out the stock and put some in a rice cooker with the right amount of rice and steam it. When the rice is done it will have the flavour of the stock. Put the cuttlefish and remaining bits of vegies on the rice. Just the kind of food to serve during the colder months.

Cheers Trung A viet who hasn't eaten cuttlefishwhat's wrong with you haha They're pretty nice Sweet though you may need to slice them finely as bigger ones can be chewy when they get large(caught a 15kg one once and never taking that home again) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
