Sole, Flounder and Moreton Bay Bugs

[Convict]

Just passing a fresh fish shop today and I noticed they had some sole or flounder for sale. I know trawler fishermen tend to catch them in nets, however, I cannot recall seeing any fishing shows where fishermen (rod/line) can actually target them. Do they?

Secondly, I have eaten prawns and crabs, but not a Moreton Bay Bug. Are they cooked similar to prawns or crabs as I would like to try one. Jim

I've caught a few flounder hopping smaller plastics along the bottom around the Bay. Beautiful eating.

Bugs are usually sold already cooked and yeah, like prawns, crays etc. they are boiled. Flesh is similar to other crays. Very nice sliced up on a roll with some good mayo or seafood cocktail sauce, squeeze of lemon and some shredded iceberg lettuce.

Flounder are a common by catch for whiting and bream fisho's. Particularly when using worms for bait.

I caught a flounder in Boggy Creek on Saturday morning while throwing SP's for bream and flatties.

I sometimes accidentally catch them around the poop schute at the mouth of the Brissy river.

I used to eat bugs for breakfast just about every morning i was at work.

They are one of the best things you can eat.

I seem to catch flounder when targeting flathead. As for bugs, I love them! Similar to crabs, but the meat is so much easier to get to

You will get Flounder most places you get Flatties. Mate got a few up Bribie way a few weeks ago. Have a look at how Asian shops cook them, they are beautiful like that.
