Tam Posted October 15, 2017 Share Posted October 15, 2017 Hi, anyone know where in Sydney I can get a 4kg box of pillies from? Tweed baits I think they are. But individually quick frozen in bulk. thanks tam Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
notoriousTASH Posted October 16, 2017 Share Posted October 16, 2017 Mate you're better off going to a fish shop and get them fresh and freeze them later, should you wish. Much cheaper option. I go to Faros Bros Seafoods in Sydenham, they sell pillies for roughly $3 per kilo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrassRoots Posted October 16, 2017 Share Posted October 16, 2017 If you can make it to the eastern suburbs, try giving Global Tackle a call. They stock lots of specialty stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SquidMarks Posted October 18, 2017 Share Posted October 18, 2017 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
