I caught this fish in NSW, I was planning on eating it just after a quick sanity check, does anyone know what it is? I can't match it up on the fish chart.
* Caught NSW, Newcastle just offshore off the rocks
* Large scales
* Blue spots
* 42cm
Troll thread?
If as you would take anything home without knowing if its a protected species?'/ and or legal size limit.
Either way, I guess fisheries have your IP address now anyway...
Thanks Crusoe!
Good on you mate, enjoy the food on your plate.
Many fish are despised by some, but enjoyed by another.
Australian salmon, for example. the best for fish patties.
I mean that in a good way: I can't find a better fish for fish patties than Aus salmon, but they're sold for 30c per kilo as cat food...
The fish pictured is halfway between a baldy and Aus salmon, enjoy it, and as many as you catch after it.
