Its your choice whether you want to or not, I would never eat it raw though or eat to much. I'm sure you get a bit of tidal movement in there so it should help. I have even seen people eating stuff from the paramatta river (would not suggest it) but in the harbor around the bridge should be fine as long as you cook it and don't eat to much Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All fish especially pelagics taste so much better & helps the quality of the meat last longer (eg up to 4 days in the fridge) a saltwater ice slurry is even better as it brings down there core temperature faster Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
