Sea sweep, who would have thought
Submitted by clogwog on Sun, 2014-03-02 18:01
Nice day on the water today. Out fished by my 12 year old boy who caught a small dhuie and horse of a sea sweep which was on par with the Fishwrecked record of 52 cm, gave him a good fight actually. Was hesitant in keeping it but had read that they weren't too bad on the chew and thought I'd give it a crack, cooked it up tonight (battered) and was very surprised at how good it actually was, nice flakey meet with only a slight fishy taste, all the family though it was pretty good.

Love catching them on light gear for the good fight. I give them to my step father who doesn't mind them, I think part of the trick is cleaning the black stomach lining off.
