saltrix Posted November 13, 2022 Share Posted November 13, 2022 The sun was up by the time we cleared the Spit. Tried our usual trolling around Dobroyd and North Head but no takers. It was pretty calm at North Head As there was not much wind we could not get a good drift but managed a few fish at around 50m between the reefs around DY wide. Caught most of the fish on Hawkesbury prawn from the fish shop and small squid from the bait shop.not as much interest in the usual pilchards. The red Rock Cod was a good size so handled carefully and kept as they are good eating if you avoid a sting,also kept some of the spikeys that were unlikely to survive. The fish were bled and in an ice slurry but there was not much ice left. 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yowie Posted November 13, 2022 Share Posted November 13, 2022 A few nice feeds to be had. The larger spikies are edible, small fillets, but care needed with the dorsal spikes due to the venom on the tips. A good sized red rockie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

First you remove the head - be careful and avoid the painful spikes. A large part of the fish is the head, which is why you need a decent size to make worthwhile eating. I like them Thai style, but others have previously posted about steaming or in soups. This is how I’d do mine…. https://www.fishraider.com.au/topic/91344-crispy-fried-ocean-perch-thai-style/ cheers Zoran 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
