Nice video.🤩 I caught 4 salmon at Maroubra Beach the other night. I brain spike the fish, and then i dig a hole for each fish and bury them next to each other vertically face down in the chilled sand, which keeps them nice and cool with their tails sticking out. I believe that doing this may help them bleed out better as well.

Polite way of saying a fish is average, "Goes well in a curry" great recipe thanks. I've heard they do quite well smoked after traditional sugar and brine soaking.
@NickWhite-mh8wx4 ай бұрын
Not really, the texture and flavor means its better suited to smoking or sashimi etc and not as good as other species for straight grilling. Slow cook a eye filet staek and it will be dry and tasteless, fry a brisket and it will be dry and tasteless. Cook either to suit their strengths and you will get a great result

Will try do another video for the fish skin, although all Hoda did was take the skin off and pat dry it down with a paper towel and double check the inside of the skin has no “sinue”, put it between two baking sheets lined with baking paper, and put in the oven at 180C or until crispy…it’s roughly 20 mins. 7-Spice is now found in Woolies and Coles.. but the mix is generally all spice, black pepper, ground cinnamon, ground cloves, ground coriander, ground cumin, and ground nutmeg! All equal quantities mixed!

This fish is also known as Kahawai in NZ and has a similar reputation as a trash fish, but if you know how to prepare it correctly it can be very tasty. It helps to bleed it as soon as it's caught to prevent a heavy bloodline in the fish and make it taste less fishy. Super tasty smoked, as sashimi or ceviche, or made into a curry.

Au Salmon, caught, killed quickly, bled then iced is magnificent, get rid of the blood meat when preparing and then do it up in a basic beer batter. The people that reckon Au salmon is a shitfish are the same people that catch them, dub them a shitfish and then dump them in the bilge of the boat to flop about for a half hour. Respect your catch and it will taste much better.

@@thefishosgrill If he's still in business go for the traditional cruiser looking boat about 40 ft long with the Italian skipper who used to work on the fish farms. He is the only charterer who can take you in amongst the fish farms. I caught a magnificent Ocean Trout which was an "escapee" from the fish farms which was big enough to share with 4 people for dinner. They use the same pellets as bait, jammed into the hook of the hook, that the farms feed the trout and salmon.

Australian salmon are so good fresh . Realy good raw fish . Or on the BBQ . The old fishermen all say there only good for fish cakes . But that’s simple is not true . Awork mate was banging them out and they were no good . So when I speared a few I cut them in to stakes bone in marinated them in teriyaki sauce and smoked it . I took it to work and offered some to him . I asked him what he thought it was .He had no idea but said it was really good . When I told him what it was he was shocked and said he would definitely be keeping them for now on .
