josamill Posted November 5, 2012 Share Posted November 5, 2012 Hi Raiders.....Anyone listen to the Big Fish on the ABC radio? Saturday mornings early. Hosted by Scott Levi, Central Coast fisho. He and Rob Paxevanos raving a few weeks ago about Aussie salmon being perfectly good sushimi. I haven't caught one to try lately. I know they are crap cooked, but anyone tried raw and chilled?

abecedarian Posted November 5, 2012 Share Posted November 5, 2012 There's nothing wrong with them cooked if you bleed them quickly and cook them the right way. There's a few ways of cooking Aussie salmon and I'd say they're better than average eating when done right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DaveTheBoy Posted November 5, 2012 Share Posted November 5, 2012 Fine as sashimi if bled & iced right away - and handle them nice so they don't bruise. I'm also in the camp that deosn't mind them cooked if they've been prepared OK - but there's defnitely divided opinion on that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Incredible Hull Posted November 5, 2012 Share Posted November 5, 2012 I've caught aussie salmon, bled straight away, put on ice in esky, cooked straight away when I got home, made fish cakes, still tastes like sh!t And now I understand why people recommend fish cakes... fish cakes is basically blended or finely diced salmon with spices etc... defeats the whole purpose of tasting fish! Im with kingfisher84, just lemon or smoked is the true way to taste the fish. On another note, I have tried Bonito sushimi, and it wasn't as bad as I thought Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have put salmon in the fridge and ate it raw the next day and found it does not taste that bad though I would not rave about it. I usually feed aussie salmon to my dog. its good for his coat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lostproperty Posted November 5, 2012 Share Posted November 5, 2012 There is no way I could eat Aussie salmon sashimi I think I would vomit. Last time I caught one it was bled straight away and the meat still stank and tasted bad, looked after it perfectly. Best bet would be to smoke it. Apparently deep dried beer battered are OK if bled properly but you'll get sick of that eventually too. Bonito sashimi is better than kingfish if you ask me, so much softer and more delicate, you have to eat it within 2 days tho and u can't freeze it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adjustedpete Posted November 6, 2012 Share Posted November 6, 2012 I beg to differ Lads, sambos' are yummmm. There are a few prerequisites for cooking of the much maligned sambo. Gutted and bled on the boat, dont forget to cut into the blood vessel on the backbone and clean. Store on ice. Fillet when you get home and cut ALL the red meat off. Next is a smoking hot pan with butter just starting to brown Cook your fish in to the pan making sure you dont overcook and its a fine line between cooked beautifully and dry as. Dont bother freezing them or even keeping them till the next day. Thats what flatties and kingies are for.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rsm150d Posted November 6, 2012 Share Posted November 6, 2012 Aussie salmon is nice sashimi but you have to prepare it right away then on ice.. It's great with wasabi and soy sauce. Very nice you must try. Sent from my GT-N7000B using Tapatalk 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
josamill Posted November 6, 2012 Author Share Posted November 6, 2012 Thanks. Will try sashimi. Sorry can't do the cooked thing again. Many tries following correct procedures just didn't cut it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
