Bait fishers go mad for IQF pilchards, cant remember why but i know theyre preffered supposedly.

Why is it again anyone?

IQF stands for individually quick frozen. So instead of thawing out a whole block you can pull out what you need to use from the 4kg box. As they're not stuck together they don't go as mushy as blocks do. Better value in bulk as well than an expensive block of crap pillies from the servo. They're well worth hunting down. I get mine from that big camping/fishing store up here. I reckon most of them would carry them.

As people above have mentioned, head over to your local seafood store when they have them, but dont buy the defrosted ones sitting on ice in the display, ask for a box of the frozen ones out the back in the freezer (which they thaw then place on display ;)).

They will be IQF in a 15kg box. Buy it and then use small handfuls as needed when your out fishing.
