Fish ID please

What is this?  Caught near Dirt Hartog, and released because we couldn't identify it.

You say juvenile, so this

Wed, 2012-05-23 22:10

You say juvenile, so this wouldn't have been a legal size anyway?  I don't feel so bad now making dan throw it back.  unlike the 49.9cm (oceanic) pinkie that I made peter release because i mistakenly thought the size limit had increased to 50 cm statewide (doh!)

Garbage

If you thought it tasted great then I'd hate to see what you think tastes bad. They have something like 1-2 stars out of 5 and thats pushing it IMO.

If you actually take a bite you will know. A (former) mate had some at a BBQ, I knew what it was but felt rude saying no thank you. 

He is no longer a mate!!!
