stevefish Posted May 16, 2016 Share Posted May 16, 2016 (edited) To go with the other thread, What often well regarded fish do you really not rate when it comes to eating. I'll go for Jewfish, not so tasty Bream, can't be bothered with small ones- can't bring myself to kill a big one Morwong Leather jackets, especially big ones EDIT, forgot one, barramundi that's anywhere near fresh water Edited May 16, 2016 by stevefish Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crossfire63 Posted May 16, 2016 Share Posted May 16, 2016 Carp Aussie Salmon Kina Me 2 on the Bream.....Pretty much a waste of time Ling Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NaClH2OK9 Posted May 16, 2016 Share Posted May 16, 2016 Just to be different. Pig fish. Too damn mushy. Rock cod. Poor man's lobster my 4rse. +1 on bream. Sent from my SM-G920I using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SquidMarks Posted May 16, 2016 Share Posted May 16, 2016 carp....... its like your eating a week old half rotten salmon covered in mud! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yowie Posted May 16, 2016 Share Posted May 16, 2016 Never eaten carp, but: Mowies (would rather eat a shit sandwich) Sole I caught in Port Hacking (like eating leather) Large jackets Kelp fish (also called cockies) Large salmon (though will eat it if nothing else is available) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Snapper and bream, I don't get the hype. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fragmeister Posted May 16, 2016 Share Posted May 16, 2016 (edited) Well regarded fish I think are over rated- Trout - They are often rated as excellent whereas I put them in the average basket. I don't really rate any fresh water fish that well although I reserve my judgement on Murray Cod having neither caught or eaten one. (one day Big Neil is going to rectify this for me!) Regrading fresh and saltwater fish I am reminded of the difference in quality of a Saltwater Barra against one that has been in the fresh for a while. The saltwater version is far superior IMHO.

GoingFishing Posted May 17, 2016 Share Posted May 17, 2016 Fish i dont rate ! 1. Aussie salmon 2. Bream 3. Tailor 4. Trevally Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
budzsta Posted May 17, 2016 Share Posted May 17, 2016 I'm the same with bream, trevally and snapper. Not sure about the jackets? I generally thought most people disliked Aussie salmon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scratchie Posted May 17, 2016 Share Posted May 17, 2016 Throwbacks: Rock cod Wrasse of any sort Bream not a fan. Trevally Bonito Aussie salmon Sgt baker And some people have said they eat sweep? What the??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Incredible Hull Posted May 17, 2016 Share Posted May 17, 2016 I tried Sweep, terrible, very mushy meat. Aussie Salmon top of my list, that fishy smell and taste stays in your mouth, ewww. I'm a little surprised on some of the above. Tailor is great smoked and also wrapped in foil with lemon salt pepper on the BBQ Trevally cooked the same way or even sashimi is very nice, nice and sweet meat. Bream shallow fried, awesome Bonito sashimi, awesome. Gotta try it guys! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GoingFishing Posted May 17, 2016 Share Posted May 17, 2016 Anyone against flatties? Someone has to hate tuna Reading the other thread about fish we all love- the thought that crossed my mind was that flathead was listed on most peoples lists ! So maybe safe to bet flatties are well loved haha Tuna i dont mind sashimi but cooked not a big fan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
recurve Posted May 18, 2016 Share Posted May 18, 2016 Worst fish to eat on South Coast. Sweep Pig Fish ( I know lots of people like them) Yellow Tail Leather Jackets Most Underrated Slimy Mackerel (Yes these things are fine fare. Also fantastic in a Masala) Pike (Get the skin off and they are not bad....not great but not bad) Morwong (So many give them a hard time. They are lovely) Trevally (Great Sushi and nice fried as long as slightly underdone. Best Eating Snapper Rock Lobster Kingfish Amberjack Jew Fish Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bessell1955 Posted May 18, 2016 Share Posted May 18, 2016 The worst eating fish are the ones that I haven't caught, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
raysenior Posted May 18, 2016 Share Posted May 18, 2016 I often wonder on peoples tastes on some of my favourite fish to eat , i like mowies and yes we do like sweep and even moarie wrasse , but all our catch is kept alive in the livewell and only killed just before cleaning , i wonder how many just throw them in the esky and 8 hours later expect to clean them and still be good , snr Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Often when I get home the boss is not happy if i spend the next 2 hours cleaning fish. I kill my fish immediately and slurry them. Can stay like this for a couple of days and they are perfect. Sweep though....how do you make these things taste good. Would love to know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
