Most unpopular table fish in Australia. Filleting and eating the most unpopular fish in Australia. I cook and eat pan-fried fillet, deep-fried fillet and fillet curry.
Usually caught during beach fishing. When using correct beach fishing rigs, one can catch a lot of Australian Salmon. You can find the best rigs for beach fishing online. Australian salmon fishing is popular during the warmer months. In this video, I show you the 3 best Australian salmon recipes. Australian salmon catch and cook are very popular but you can also buy the fish from the market. Beach fishing is also called surf fishing. In New Zealand, this is called Kahawai fishing NZ.
STANDARD NAMES
Eastern Australian Salmon and Western Australian Salmon, previously known as Bay Trout, Cocky Salmon, Colonial Salmon, Salmon Trout and Kahawai (NZ)
Usually, the meat is used for bait or used as pet food. Most of my Australian friend has never eaten Australian Salmon.
Australian Salmon are related to Australian Herring, rather than the orange-fleshed Atlantic Salmon and other Salmonidae. Their name comes from the European Settlers, who noticed a likeness between the appearances of the species.
Australian Salmon are under-utilised and not especially well regarded by chefs or consumers. Because of this, they are a low priced seafood option. If they are fresh and handled correctly Australian Salmon is moist and very enjoyable. They are also very high in Omega-3 fatty Acids.
Australian Salmon have a strong flavour and quite oily flesh. The dark pink flesh will lighten in colour when cooked and stays incredibly moist. Those preferring a lighter flavoured fish can remove the darker red flesh and bloodline. If not bled out or otherwise handled correctly the soft flesh will be dark and can develop off characteristics quickly.
Smaller fish are of higher eating quality than larger specimens, which can be coarse and dry. Larger specimens can be cooked whole and wrapped in foil or paper to prevent them from drying out.
Because of their strong flavour and oil content, Australian Salmon is popular smoked or canned. The smoky flavour and slight char imparted by BBQ’ing this fish is especially tasty.
Australian Salmon are wild caught in coastal waters, often adjacent to estuaries and off coastal beaches. The majority of the commercial catch is taken by Purse Seine, sometimes with the use of spotter planes to locate the large schools. They are also caught as bycatch of purse seine and trawl fisheries targeting schooling species such as Snapper, Mackerel and Trevally. Australian Salmon are caught in all southern waters of Australia, particularly southern NSW and Eastern Victoria. While commercial landings are at historically high levels, Australian Salmon is also a popular recreational species and the recreational catch is significant.
Because Australian Salmon is not especially popular with consumers, historically much of the catch has been used for pet food or bait. Australian Salmon is commonly used as bait in the western Rocklobster fishery.
