Hey Raiders,

Caught this fish a few weeks ago up in Queensland. Looks like a Barra, but a bit confused because its much darker than any Barra I've seen before. Anyone know what species this is?

Cheers

It's a sand bass. Often confused with a barra.

Are they edible?

Thanks for that, never seen a Sand Bass before.

And yes I would dare say they are edible because they didn't taste too bad
