I love to eat brown or rainbow trout . Fillet it and cook it real slowly in some butter and a little seasoning .................... HEY LOVE !!!! wheres me fishing rod i'm out of here :D:D:p:p:angel:

[Ken]

A nice piece of Whiting for me thanks :)

[Fusion]

White fish
No bones :D

so there is no choice in the poll for me.......

D'OH sorry NM :oops2:

[p38arover]

Fish is a bit like fruit. If I never had another bit of either again in my life, it wouldn't worry me one bit.

Altghough I don't mind the smell of fruit, seafood is pretty whiffy and I don't like the smell.

[Vern]

Coming from a commercial fishing family (4 generations), definately saltwater for me:)

[B92 8NW]

Somebody once told me something unspeakably disgusting about fish, and whilst I never really liked it to start with, I have since never been able to eat it.

That's why I don't drink water. Have you seen what fish do in it?

[loanrangie]

Either but freshly caught is best ! Atlantic salmon is good also like trout but i will eat just about any seafood. Fresh Tassie oysters off the rocks is my favourite.

THE most "time intensive preparation" eating fish in OZ,,


not even fun to catch:(

[Ricey]

Got shouted a $140 platter last night - Loved the Barra, Lobster, prawns & oysters. I could chow down for days but the smelly fingers afterwards were a bit foreign ;)

Ahh. Commercial fishermen were the bane of my life when I was in Telstra - I was Marine Manager and dealt with them - and was occasionally threatened by them. I once went on a raid with the AFP on a fisherman's boat. It worried me when the AFP guys all strapped on sidearms and bullet proof jackets - but didn't give me one. :(

I'm glad I didn't have to work on their boats - they stank!

[B92 8NW]

I haven't heard anything as unspeakably disgusting as the fish comment about water, so I'm happy to take the risk... for now at least:D

The North East AULRO will be enjoying a weekend fishing the Dartmouth Dam sometime early April.

Let's hope we will be enjoying a few good browns and rainbows.:D

Trout caught and eaten within an hour or so....nothing better.:D

Have seen some beautiful trout come out of that dam . Sounds like a good trip ;)

[graceysdad]

Longtoms or Garfish for me

[BMKal]

I'll have whiting, fresh herring or freshly caught and bled school shark (battered) any time thanks. A nice serve of bluebone groper is a special treat.

[Disco_owner]

I Love all Seafood , we try and eat Fish 2-3 times a week, not because I really give a Cr....p about Omega 3 or whatever the Oil is , i just absolutely love seafood , with or without Bones. If there was a shortage of Red Meat I'd eat Fish everyday.

you get a Descent Seafood Platter for 2 down at Fish Markets for about $30 and it'll quite easily feeds 2.


Many Hours of happy fishing

When we visited NZ a few years back, my sister's boyfriend went to the trouble of catching something from the sand on a beach and frying it up for us to eat. I think they were a tad put out when we refused it. Whitebait might have been what it was called.

They seemed to think it was a delicacy.

Yeah, right! Like sheep's eyes are a delicacy? :o

[p38arover]

A few years back Xtreme led a High Country trip and one of the things he arranged was for us to go fishing at a trout farm. I caught some (as one must) but someone else had to take them off the hook for me (the last time I'd been fishing was literally 50 years ago - in 1958.).

I took them home but I didn't eat them. I think my wife and daughter did.

I used to hate going to family-in-law Christmans parties as they always served up seafood. They had to make other arrangements for me.

As you can see, I'm a keen fisherman. :D

Fishing is what our family does . I caught my first fish at the age of 4 . A red fin out of the colac lake . I was victorian junior champ twice before the age of 13 and my old man had a room just for his trophys .
The worst part of fishing was losing my dad to a freak wave down at Apollo Bay 17 years ago next month . The only reason i'm still here is i had my first game of footy that day so i didnt go fishing .

I have a mate who loves fishing and catching it , but he hates eating fish,he gives away his catch to family and friends, how's that for irony?
:D:angel:

[Pedro_The_Swift]

irony?

I usually throw all mine back,, (or "catch and release" these days) has to be a pretty decent fish before I'll take it home,

As Steven King says,,, Its the Journey--

No one has mentioned Cod? Vaguely palatable...

[Tango51]

I love fish too.
I love yellowtail and tuna best but must be fresh and raw.
To me, a seared Tuna steak is a monument to tastelessness!
I love Red Emperor, I worship it!
Blue Groper, Barra, Coral Trout, whiting, Canadian Salmon, snapper, and then there are all the crustaceans....
I like bream too but I can live without trout .

Hate cod, really hate cod, like mullet tho!

[roverrescue]

i love red emp too, the only drawback in QLD is the min size is 55cm, the best eating red is about 40cm when they are still striped up??? oh well?

I may need to change my ideal... the best is a fresh caught trout, into the frypan on the boat with some fresh bread and a bit of tartare :) or fresh speared cray seared in butter on the boat... or a nice longtail / yellowfin sashimi with appropriate condiments out on the briny...

fresh is best!

Huon Salmon - sushi style - raw on rice with some wasabi & soy sauce.
Silver bream steamed for 10mins, served with warmed thin sliced shallots, ginger, soy sauce & a little olive oil.

My mother in law is a great cook. She's just got me eating oysters.

i have a funny story about that :D:D

once at a BBQ they had some sushi on a plater for the guests
well this little girl around 14yrs thought it was something else:eek:

so i said ; be careful love that stuff is really hot:o

she looked at me in a disgruntle manner and walked off around the otherside of the pool..........
she had at a guess about 1 tablespoon full

i said to the people i was with, hey guys watch this kid :D:D:D

well we watched in horror as this kid put the whole lot in her mouth:o:o
you should of seen her face :Rolling::Rolling::Rolling:

she spat it out as fast as she could but to no avail
then went down on her hands and knees trying to drink the pool water
she wasn't a happy wasabi eater

[Tango51]

Believe it or not Ben Lexcen of Yacht designer fame did exactly the same thing....at an intimate Sushi restaurant where he was a guest of some Japanese V.I.P's who were negotiating with him.
We warned him, the Japanese host got alarmed and had the interpreter warn him, but he went ahead and did it anyway.He coughed and snotted green slick all over the place.
The Japanese host regarded it impolite to laugh at his guest's discomforture but the Aussie woman interpreter and I ****ed ourselves.
I thought I would top the evening off by introducing him to Ooni!
Disappointingly, he loved it.

Here's some fishy trivia for ya.

1788, the first fleet has been in Sydney Harbour for a few days and a bunch of blokes go out to do some fishing. They meet up with some of the local Aboriginals and get into conversation about fishing - I'm using conversation in the widest hand-gesture interpretation - the Aboriginals give them some pointers on bait and best methods of catching fish, all the usual things you do on striking up a conversation with a local when fishing in a new spot. The locals also made very clear that you don't eat Mullet, taste like crap. Again with the very clear sign language and hand gestures.

The more things change.

Cheers
Simon

Big fat tuna steak rubbed in fresh minced garlic & soy sauce, then two minutes either side on a hot plate...
With salad and a coldie or several. Ten minutes from prep to plate!

Bit of soy, speck of Wasabi - mmmmm.... sashimi http://img524.imageshack.us/img524/1696/imagesns3.jpg (http://imageshack.us)

I'm with you, love sashimi....don't forget thinly sliced spring onions in the soy sauce! Just a couple.
Reminds me, I better post another household favourite sushi recipe in the recipe section.
Negitoro, for any of you who have eated this speciality of Osaka. Heaven!

I've been to a few sushi restaurants with Asian hosts when I was in Telstra. I never ate the food, though. The were always surprised by that. To them it was a great treat. To me it was a trial.

[mojo]

Best fish I've ever had was Red Emporer cooked in a webber with garlic, just fantastic. :BigThumb:

I've also had some great Mangrove Jack and Flathead. And if I'm fealing lazy, a bit of crumbed flake from the local fish and chipper usually hits the spot.:D

Probably the nicest fish I've had in the last few years would be freshly caught and bbq'd Yellowbelly/Golden Perch/Callop.

I'm talking Cooper/Diamantina system Yellowbelly, not impoundment fish. Delicious.

I steamed some Salmon steaks last weekend in foil with loads of garlic,ginger and herbs..the house was smelling very nice !

Served it all up with a side of steamed veg and boiled tatties ...

All looking good and very presentable..:)

Youngest son sits down and looks at it..then proceeds to cover the whole lot in tomato ketchup !..:o ..then oldest son thinks this is good idea and proceeds to copy younger brother plus get a large turkish bread roll and place entire contents of plate into said roll !..:o

It felt like I was sitting in the monkey pen at Taronga zoo at tea time !..

Why did I bother making it all look nice and appetizing ??..:eek:

Kids..gotta love them :angel:

Beans on toast tonight !

My favourite is probably the salt and pepper squid served in the fron tbar at the Earl of Leicster pub in Leicster Street, Parkside in Adelaide.

It is a must have for me whenever I head back to SA, just brilliant and a huge serve size for a very reasonable price. Factor in a few beers and attractive bar staff :D and it is a meal fit for a King
:cool:.

[Tango51]

This thread has made me really hungry for some fish!

My best fish and chips is home made, but I live in hope of finding a good fishanchippie!

Most insulting Fishanchippie has to be on Oxford Street Leederville Perth.
Ordered a piece of snapper and small chips (3 choices, S M L), paid $15.50 and got a burnt piece of fish where the batter was charred in colour, and burnt underdone chips that were crunchy like apples but get this.....there were 7 chips! Spuds around here for commercial purchases are under 1:50 a kilo!
I politely pointed out that the oil was much too hot (being wise to the cooking trade) and got a tirade telling me this is how he did it for all his customers and they were happy.
I responded in kind asking which was likelier: That the entire population of Leederville were tasteless imbeciles who would spend heaps on scorched food despite having grown up eating fine examples of it..... or that he was a wannabe businessman who didn't have the intelligence to create value or treat a customer appropriately........ got my money back and had a laugh, got a vegetarian pasty up the road.

Salt & Pepper Calamari salad at JD's bar in Merimbula is my pick for squid.
Worst was fish & chips in Orient point. Grey fish, grey chips, grey scallops - all indistinguishable from each other in looks, texture and taste.

But it was a bucks night so non of us cared too much

[CraigE]

Most fish is good it depends how it is cooked, when it is cooked and your personal taste.
Salmon is great fresh caught or smoked or in patties if older.
King George is great anytime (one in the fridge caught last night).
Also a Black Bream and they are ok.
Even rock cod is ok if you steam it.
Trumpeter which most through back is yummy fresh.
As said some fish is better fresh, while some freezes well.
Where do you stop. All the above (except slimy rock cod for me) plus gummy shark, bronzey, swallowtail, black arsed cod, nanagai, etc etc

[CraigE]

I only catch squid for bait.:p
Shocking stuff, but the other half loves it so I lose most of my bait tubes.
Hate the crap but get to clean it (mm ink all over your hands, nice) and prepare and cook it. LandyAndy knows I can cook it.;)

[BigJon]

Salt & Pepper Calamari salad at JD's bar in Merimbula is my pick for squid.


Do they do it in rings or opened tubes? The stuff I really like is tubes sliced open with a cross pattern inscribed into it. Very nice...

HHmmm salt and pepper squid, best i've had is at Van Van's a Vietnamese restaurant in Abbotsford.

[Stepho_62]

Just about any for me. I'm not to keen on some types but I've rarely had a bad fish.

Lurrrrrrvvvvv my fish.

someone mentioned earlier in the thread that they had eaten Tassie Salmon for dinner.

Mrs used go to the factory outlet in Warrane and by the seconds. MMMMMMMMM Yummmy Atlantic Salmon steaks. :D:D:D

They rekon its brain food, so I'd like to dispel one myth. I eat heaps of fish n I'm no rocket scientist. :eek::D:D

[Fusion]

Good feed of yabby's is always a good thing ..... haven't had them for years but oh man thats some good stuff ;):D
also love a good feed of blue swimmer crab . little bit of vinegar and ....... thats it mouth is watering again LOL

[Tango51]

Yabbies with home made tartar or home made curry mayo, I like crabs simply with salted vinegar but the missus likes my stir fried crab in garlic black bean chilli sauce or my coconut curry crab best.
Guests usually rave about the chilli crab too but I still love the vinegar one!

[olbod]

I dont mind a bit of Home Brand battered fish done in the microwave !
Comes in a plain yellow box, too.
Cheers.

PS: I love to eat anything that comes out of the sea, but seeing as how I am the cook these days, I dont bother.
Eat for fuel not pleasure, now.

Mark Yau's in Chinatown, salt and pepper calimari. In the early nineties he stayed open all night to run the gambling den upstairs. The kitchen was the front. Great, cheap, heaps of it.

Fish raw Japanese style lovely

Deep fried and battered tempura style

Had some Fish Katsu Japanese bread crumb batter for lunch yummy

Atlantic Salmon crispy pan fried in ginger and garlic or poached or cold in aspic or smoked with scrambled eggs and roe

Ocean Trout

Tuna

Yellow Tail

Smoked eel

Smoked fish

Only problem with big ocean fish like Marlin Shark Groper is mecury content accumulated up the food chain.

[Bigbjorn]

A friend used to manage the Cairns branch of a Brisbane major catering and hospitality supplier. They were taken over by a Sydney group. The new owners used to send him pallets of frozen Orange Roughy and other southern waters rubbish fish to sell. North Queenslanders are used to fresh reef fish, barramundi, mud crabs, Torres Strait crayfish etc. This crap is almost unsaleable up there. He used to first offer it to institutions, hospitals, nursing homes, & the like at barely over cost price, then to local retailers who were known Cheap Charlies, price before quality. Anything left (most of it) would be written off and taken to the tip. Sometimes he just took it to the tip. Sydney boy wonders could never be convinced that stuff they sold down there was unsaleable elsewhere.

[Andy-M]

Mmmm! Fresh, Bass Strait seafood :BigThumb:.

Out of the water, straight into the icebox and then home to clean and cook yum yum! (on the days that I actualy catch something)

Andy :D

So Andy

It is true that now that the Tioxide plant is gone and that most of the MI's have been made to clean up their act the fish are returning to the coast?

What r u catching?

Cheers,

[harry]

Just had some tassie salmon for tea and oh man was it some good stuff .I don't mind any sort of fish . But what sort of fish do you guys like to eat ?

dead fish.


whiting
flathead
flake

and lots of others.

[Andy-M]

G'day Stevo,

The water is now briliant, the fish are returning and the rivers are healthy.

Since the big company's have either closed or cleaned up the result is great. I can remember Penguin Surf club guys wading through foam to get to the water. The red colour on rocks all along the coast from the old Tioxide has disappeared.

People are catching Mako off Devonport :eek: and surrounding areas, big Flatties and lots of Squid and Whiting off Port Sorell, King fish and Snapper from the mouth of the Tamar.

I am only a mug fisher but still getting some good catches. With the bad weather up north at the moment we may become the next great tourist destination :D. (if only it would get a bit warmer)



Cheers Andy

[Xavie]

Got shouted a $140 platter last night - Loved the Barra, Lobster, prawns & oysters. I could chow down for days but the smelly fingers afterwards were a bit foreign ;)

Xavier

[Stepho_62]

if only it would get a bit warmer



Jeez. You're South of the 41st Parrell. No chance of that happening.:D

I remember with great fondness my dad and I fishing on the banks of the Forth @ Turners Beach in the late 60's and early 70's.:cool:

We got Brim, Salmon, Mullet and the occasional sea run trout. I continued fishing it through to the late 70's until there was nothing in the estuary at all. :(

After a few years on the Mainland I went to work for some scumbags @ Heybridge. Alui something Chemical Refineries they were, :angel: if only the public knew what went on there.:mad::mad::mad:

I'm so pleased to hear what you have said. Where did the flatties come from?

[Andy-M]

Hi Stevo,

The flatties were from Port Sorell, approx 10km straight out from the boat ramp, 150 ft water.

I'm no greenie, but some of the changes of recent yesrs have been great!

Andy.
