Fish Preference

i was wondering what type fish most people prefered for eating,  IE if there was only one type of fish left to be caught  for table quality and choice what would your preference be

Mine is,  Rankin Cod, great for all aspects of cooking and extremely enjoyable to eat , catching them is another issue .

I may be a little different but i love the tast of mackies and queenies. dont get me wrong trout and baldies are probably better but i thought i might throw some diffrent species into the northern mix.

Having recently tried a few deep water fish, the old baldie has lost top position with me.

For a sweet fish, I do love the taste of charlie courts.

Baldy, coral/coronation

Mon, 2009-06-22 19:21

Baldy, coral/coronation trout second. By the way do you find a big difference between coral or coronation trout? I've tried it side by  side and couldn't pick the difference.

Cheers Mick

Have to agree with Coral trout

Fri, 2009-06-26 10:13

But I would rate the humble whiting a very close second. Big fat one around Karratha and the islands. Now I was going to chase Blue bone this weekend but my mouth is now watering in other directions. Choices, choices, choices.

Spanish flag is very very nice to. Dont throw a legal one of those back unless the eskies full!

In the last year or so it would have to be herring. Freshly caught straight on the BBQ with some butter and pepper and salt and washed down with some beers and family/mates!

There is something about the old herring that caught fresh, and straight on the BBQ that makes them taste soo good.
