Looks like a Wirrah cod to me, taste like an old boot

As a matter of interest, has anyone tried eating one? Have eaten a few different fish, but not one of these so far.

they have the nickname of 'A Boot Fish' so when the old timers have called then a Boot you know it isn't a good thing

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
