[@cheekyaussie8185]

Excellent video bro, I was always wondering whether it was really true if scorpion fish taste like lobster and you nailed it. Cheers

[@WetMammal]

Thanks man! Appreciate the comment 🤙🏼

[@fishingaroundwithben3542]

[@PrimalRenegade17]

I love the great nothern for scale

[@WildWaterWomanLisa]

Great video, thanks for sharing! I didn't know you have Salmon in New South Wales. Are there any regulations or can you always spear them?

[@WetMammal]

Thanks Lisa! They are called Australian Salmon but they are infact a false salmon and not closely related to Atlantic Salmon at all 🤙🏼

[@benspirit7429]

There is a reason they are in the undesirables. Don't believe that you made it worthwhile to eat@@WetMammal

[@WetMammal]

@@benspirit7429 honestly man fresh they are goood!

[@ImmersionFiji]

Great vid Sam, looked like a good place to dive 👌 Hope you guys are doing well 👍

[@WetMammal]

Thanks Michael, Hope things are going well over in Fiji. Dreaming of those flat crystal blue waters though haha

[@AdamKilpatrick]

Just finished cleaning yesterdays catch now I’m watching you admiring your spear gun, thinking about what to cook for lunch (curried fish is winning so far) and now a wet mammal hat. Great work Sam

[@WetMammal]

The gun is an absolute weapon i cant help but froth everytime i look at it let alone use it haha. Did you settle on the curried fish? Cheers man

[@AdamKilpatrick]

@@WetMammal settled on Thai Green Curry using Spangled perch and made it my Sunday vid. I always dream of upgrading to a better gun. It’s great to see Aimrite are looking after you and your getting recognition for all the work you put in to making content. Loving it and keep going.

[@Sam-cs1kq]

Love the aimrite gear so much, really wanna buy one of their wetties for spearfishing port phillip bay

[@WetMammal]

Its pretty much bulletproof, the new wetties are super warm too. Highly recommend. If you end up going for one check the discount code in the description

[@calvinh208]

Next time, feed her red rock twice and no lobster to really confuse

[@WetMammal]

🤣🤣

[@jasonlaijy]

Nice drone shots

[@WetMammal]

Thanks Jason 🤙🏼

[@leigh-annekruger9814]

That hat would complete my life

[@jeffrogonzalo5067]

Was really hoping Mon was going to load your fork up with a bit of lobster and fish.

[@WetMammal]

🤣🤣 that would have thrown me

[@winstonwilliams4859]

I will eat red rock cod anytime ,but you can keep the crays

[@ArnovanWyk-q2j]

hate using a float, can confirm same here - I spear with a float for safety sake but getting out or in from the rocks is a nightmare and then I also work as a diver, one of the jobs we do require a float being dragged along while we are on scuba in sub 10m water. . . imagine the entanglement nightmares with all that gear!

[@WetMammal]

Jeez that cant be fun, one of the reasons I stopped scuba diving was due to the amount of gear required for dives

[@ArnovanWyk-q2j]

@@WetMammal too true, nothing compares to the freedom of free diving.

[@kcunder2571]

I'm about to watch this video but I'm team poor man's all the way.

[@mistergormsby]

Red rockies are one of my favourite fish but no way do they taste like lobster. The term 'poor man's lobster refers more to a method of cooking, than a particular fish. Overseas, monkfish, halibut and various cod all get the same name. The central tenet of cooking poor man's lobster seems to be boiling a firm white fleshed fish (like a red rocky) to give a firmer, less flakey texture and using butter, sugar and lemon to change the taste. I've never cooked one that way, but it would be interesting to try the comparison using the poor man's recipe against a boiled eastern.

[@WetMammal]

Thats fascinating and ill definitely give it a go, thanks for sharing 🤙🏼

[@shanekay8278]

The poor mans lobster name came from boiling the red rocky. the spikes on the head of the cod are the nasty ones when spiked. Easy to cut off the fins before cleaning. I get excited catching a big one knowing it's a good feed.

[@WetMammal]

Amazing! Thanks for sharing! Im yet to boil one so ill give it a crack. Yeah i probably should have demo’d that too haha

[@damancassar1861]

What fish is that at 5:18?

[@WetMammal]

Its an Australian Damselfish in its dark phase 🤙🏼

[@jasonlaijy]

😄

[@WetMammal]

Thanks 🤙🏼
