0 Yowie Posted July 14, 2013 Share Posted July 14, 2013 Not a good photo Squidboy (need a side-on photo for better I.D.), but looks like a Maori cod. Where was it caught? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Blackfish Posted July 14, 2013 Share Posted July 14, 2013 Maori Cod also for me Epinephelus undulatostriatus Funny but a few caught in Sydney this year. I know of a big one caught at the Banks earlier this year ???? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 squidboy Posted July 14, 2013 Author Share Posted July 14, 2013 Caught in Sydney harbour today on plastics. Any idea if they are edible? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Blackfish Posted July 14, 2013 Share Posted July 14, 2013 Yep, very edible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 krause Posted August 2, 2013 Share Posted August 2, 2013 Yep, very edible. Just found this thread. Are they really edible, and are they any good? Ive been catching these things for years and swearing at the little buggers. I catch them in plauges of bycatch of the rocks whilst chasing anything that involves the bottom! How would you go about cooking one? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Jewhunter Posted August 2, 2013 Share Posted August 2, 2013 Hard to tell from that pic but I'd call it as a wirrah & they taste like crap. Type 'old boot' into the search function at the top right of the page for the recipe!! Cheers, Grant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Flickn Mad Posted August 10, 2013 Share Posted August 10, 2013 My guess would be a Wirrah. My old man said something about tasting like old burly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
