Love the close-up shots of the razorfish in the sand! We went searching for razorfish at Smoky Bay but came back empty-handed because we didn't know exactly what to look for, now I do!

[@fishingsister]

Thanks! Yes I was the same. They were so well hidden in the weeds that I didn't realise at first they were there!

[@jameswembridge7395]

There was a time not long ago when they were realy plentiful, your promoting to only take what you need is very important, your a real voice for doing the right think, and being a very successful fisher couple. Hope every one sees your way is the right one, and most times you will have a fish for dinner.

Thanks James. I saw an old photo and was amazed at how many razorfish there used to be there

[@kevinbrian3244]

Pickled razor fish hearts are one of the best things ever!

[@fishingsister]

I'll have to give it a go one day!

[@anniefisho]

Going to Black Point next weekend might have to grab a few!

[@fishingsister]

Can you get them out that way too?

[@anniefisho]

Yes people were getting them on the low tide when we were there last year.

You can also collect them from a boat using razor fish tongs in over a meter of water to get some real honkers ( big ones) best to go on a day when there is little or no wind same as blue crab raking it makes it a lot easier to see them i have also crabbed and razor fished in the middle of a still moonless night by lamp light with great success .Recipe we used to use for pickling razor fish was 1 part seawater to 3 parts white vinegar add some salt and plenty of white pepper some also add pepper corns or raw onion or garlic or chili , taste your pickling brine and adjust to taste refrigerate right away and leave for a few days .The hearts will firm up and the brine should look milky white when you shake the jar.I used to eat all the razor fish then drink the pickling brine in the days after it is beautiful.We used to eat them raw as we were fishing for whiting LOL to me they are better than scallops and i never understood why no one tried to raise them from spat and put them in a commercial aquaculture farm .

[@fishingsister]

I must try pickling them one day. Thanks for the recipe!

Hi all port Vincent has them at the beach went it’s low tidies.

[@fishingsister]

Good to know!

[@robertcampbell6521]

They were just known as razorbacks when we were kids,lots of people got their feet sliced open by them and the cuts always got infected

[@fishingsister]

Yes, they are very sharp and you could slice your foot easily. Shoes essential 😉

[@trevorg-w1i]

you can get a heave wire puller for them,you stiil need gloves and foot wear,we prefer to eat them and the guts for burley.

[@fishingsister]

Ok thanks. How does the wire puller work? Is it like hand held grips or something?

[@radamspse]

yep i agree i would rather eat razor fish instead of flathead

[@fishingsister]

@radamspse wow I must try eating them! I love flathead 😄
