favourite eating fish

[Robbie]

I was just wondering whats everyones favourite eating fish? .. Myne would be the red emperor or sweet lip theyre both really nice.

[Angus]

Basa, Pacific Dory and Silver Cobbler.

Hahaha. Just Jokes (all marketing names for Catfish just in case you did not know)

I like the humble old Whiting and Flathead.

Or if we are talking reefies, yeah Snapper or Red Emperor is pretty hard to top. Although im pretty sure i have been sold just any old reef fish as either of these plenty of times. Thats why Whiting a Flatties are good. You know your getting what you pay for on appearance!

Lobster, then prawns and bugs, then mussels and oysters, then trevally and mullet.

Weird but yummy.

if i was just going to buy fish from a fish 'n' chips shop i would probs get snapper or whiting...but if im fishing i would love to catch a flathead to eat.

I believe the topic was Favorite Eating Fish. Most of yours are Crustations and shellfish.

Anyway, back to the question. My favorite eating fish are probably Venus Tuskfish, the Mackeral, then whiting. But really depends where you catch them

[blue_mako]

Cod is good .

Troy

[Aaron H]

King George Whiting

[Mack_attack]

Mangrove Jack is my fave too. Can't get enough of em.

[Gerty_92]

does anybody know how to prepare calamari from squid?

[blue_mako]

Do you mean compare or prepare? . Squid have wing flaps going down the entire length of their body. Whereas Clamari only have it going down halfway.

[Gerty_92]

HERE HERE .. my pic too along with flounder

First of all Gerty any cooked squid is calamari.

So youll have to narrow it down a bit.

Secondly have a look in the recipes section.

I have put my calaramari salad recipe there.

Angus

[Gerty_92]

ye cheers angus ill have a look

[ando_04]

i dont realy like fish , but i cant go past barra, and fresh dart from the surf cooked that night

[Cowfish13]

We just caught our first legal snapper out in the bay and that was an awesome fish to eat

[Feral]

deep sea Mullet

Tailor

(very occassionally, and then straight out of the surf only for both)

Otherwise I dont eat fish.

[FISH_mad_POM]

mine gotta be a fresh bit of scottish salmon !!!

I can taste it now :kiss:

[rexy]

my favourite is dart

to me they taste like tailor when fresh and unlike tailor can be caught most of the time plus a dart gram for gram will outbeat a tailors fight. good fish the dart my favorite

i find they like double yabbies on a long shank hook

long cast.they hit as soon as it hits the water

this is at moreton island at yellow patch

im with you guys but there is one thing that beats jack,his cousin the golden snapper/fingermark.

if you ever get the chance to try it smoked diamond scale mullet is pretty close to heaven on a stick

[roobs]

gerty is right angus- calamari is a species name- calling every cooked squid calamari is a common mistake but that doesn't make it correct. my favourite fish to eat is blue eye cod or trevalla- excellent eating but not really common to catch in qld.

[Lozzel]

Coral trout or red emperor,

But with the drought i am having ,I'll just about eat anything fresh.

Bread & butter species ,flathead & bream
