We kept the tail part as I thought it would be the best part.
We cut the flesh up into finger pieces ready for batter dipping

looks good with the leftover
looks good
with the leftover carcase you can chop it up and use it as fertiliser in the garden , just remember to dig it in so the neighborhood cats dont get it

good on ya karl, looked nice cooked up, used to try it years ago and pretty good eating, if the hooks get swallowed and its bleeding, not a bad fish to eat, pretty much a shark taste but not as strong from memory

Milk and lemon
I caught one off the Beach at Dalyellup in 2013. Marinated in milk and lemon for a couple of hours and grilled on the BBQ it was great.
