Gurnett have firm flesh that
Gurnett have firm flesh that holds together well when cooking. They can be grilled or fried, however they have a very low oil content and the flesh can dry out. Gurnett fillets are good eating.

Just don't get spiked by them!
I've kept them before and they're OK eating. Best in little pieces and fried.

Scorpian fish are one of the
Scorpian fish are one of the best eating fish in the sea. They give a very painful wound for a fair while if spiked but are worth the risk for the eating quality.
Yep, very nice on a hot bbq plate.

Welding Gloves
Never kept any myself, but some of the guys I fish with have. Always eaten them never bait. Think I will take a pair of welding gloves out and give them a go as bait next trip (if we catch)
Don't spend all your money on beer, boats, and fishing. Save some to spend foolishly
