Found this in Botany Bay a few weeks back...asked around FB etc most people say it's a Wirrah but I've caught many Wirrahs before this is not a Wirrah in my opinion...didn't taste like an old boot that's for sure, according to the fortunate family I gave it to, possibly the best fish they've ever tasted.
Anyone else ever come across this species of Cod/Groper before? It was around 55-60cm, weighed approximately 3-4 kilos.
It's definitely not the protected Black Cod so please don't go there please folks...I emailed the Australian Museum also...no reply to date.
