0 puffett Posted June 1, 2012 Author Posted June 1, 2012 looks like your on the money there. Thanx glad i threw them back.
0 Yowie Posted June 1, 2012 Posted June 1, 2012 As a matter of interest, has anyone tried eating one? Have eaten a few different fish, but not one of these so far. Yowie.

I caught one similar once. It had blue spots and was fatter. The flesh was tough like that of chicken or turkey The taste was not too bad
0 Howdoweplaythis Posted June 7, 2012 Posted June 7, 2012 There's a fishmonger near me that consistently sells these. Might be worth a try
