They are very good eating
So good in fact that they have almost been completely wiped out in NSW from over fishing. There was a total ban on catching them about 30yrs ago and the stocks have never recovered. https://www.fish.gov.au/report/248-Gemfish-2018

My spots are so secret even the fish don't know about them !
