Wow a specialised Dart session! Never seen one before, love catching them myself and agree with you, very good on the chew and just a lot of fun overall! A lot of our unrated Aussie fish are actually when prepared well great at table. There is one fish off the beach that I’m not sure about in that regard. Would you ever go one of those Australian Salmon? Are they worth bothering with or best left well alone with regards to the table? One thing however I’m sure we can all agree on, they are one hell of a sport fish especially if you don’t go too heavy. Stay well Sammy! Hope The Phantom’s good too.
@younism72003 жыл бұрын
Mate, bled promptly after catching, Aussie Sambos are a great eating fish in my opinion. Bit chewier than your other common table fish, but if bled properly, they're good tucker. My favourite method is to clean up on any blood lines on the fillets and pop em in some foil with some butter, garlic parsley, or any other combo of flavour and pop them in the oven.
@cozab54873 жыл бұрын
Aus Salmon are the best example of this, they are excellent eating in many ways of cooking, but just because they don't suit a beer batter when not prepared or taken care of some often lazy people in Aus say they are horrible. Reality is if you prepare them right and use them for what they are suited they are just as good if not better than many other fish. Everyone I know believe it or not much prefers Salmon over Tailor, because we know not to leave them in a bucket all day and expect them to be amazing drenched in canola oil and thick batter... The key is simple really, bleed and brain spike on capture, KEEP THEM COLD, fillet skin and cut that red muscle running skin side out (this muscle under the skin is where the strong taste comes from), portion and either Panko breakcrumbs pan olive oil and the usual herbs and spices and lemon, or put in a curry/pasta any dish you'd use with tuna, or slice thin and do your favourite ceviche recipe, or smoke with the usual glaze of brown sugar basil and whatever else you prefer (possibly the best way of all). Make sure to cook them within 2 days (another fault people make, Salmon due to being very high in natural fats dont last as long as other fish in the fridge), and they are as good as many other fish. Give one a go I reckon, of course better is out there, but as someone who is pretty damn picky with seafood and eats the likes of coral trout etc every week, Aus salmon are still one of my favourite species to catch and occasionally cook up for lunch 🤙🏽

Thank you Coza H.B. for yr long, involved reply. Both you and Sammy say they’re great eating and that finally settles it for me. I had a fillet of Salmon which I caught down near Batemans Bay pan fried with veges and thought wow this is really good what’s all this hearsay about Salmon not tasting good? It had been caught that morning and I had bled it. I get back to Sydney and my fishing mate goes on about That vile Salmon and I’m like no that’s not my experience I’m not buying into that, but you just start to doubt your convictions but it’s resolved now and our great Aussie fish now officially tastes good.
