the guy in the picture is his deckie. Didnt ask exactly what kind but he said it was a trout.

Correct me if i am wrong, but isnt it a risk to your health to eat those?

Looks more like a trout than a chinaman.

Yeah i am leaning stronly towards Coral Trout as well.

When i first looked i thought it had rough bumps on its head. But looking closer its like a red coral or weed.

The second coral trout link you posted there Ellicat is a dead ringer.

He did say trout and he also said it was beautiful to eat. It was the deckie who caught it but being the boss, he got to eat it that night.
