I iki jimi then bleed all fish I'm keeping to eat except some smaller fish like Tailor,Herring, Whiting etc. which I just bleed.

Don't see any advantage to not bleeding unless keeping for bait (keep juices/blood inside).

Bleed them all

Sun, 2013-01-13 17:08

But if no time.....a lot of the blood can be skimmed off whilst filleting, later on...(not recommended)

White flesh No Bleed Dark flesh Bleed

 They normally both get spiked but not needed if ice slurry is correct. Pro boats the fish goes straight off the hook into hyper slurry then at the end of shift get packed on ice for a few days so if its good enough for resturants ect its good enough for me.

Slurry

Sun, 2013-01-13 20:48

On rhe wetliners working out of here, its into the salt water slurry and thats where it stays until unloaded in to big tubs filled with  fresh salt water slurry for the road trip down south.

No spiking or bleeding as it allows entry to bacteria that may ruin the fish

Thats the way I do it now as well

Sun, 2013-01-13 21:19

 I am also the same as you with the filleting the next day.Heaps better to fillet and the flesh stays firmer.IMO. Interesting about the slurry for transport as well.As you know they used to be packed head to tail with ice packed around them. They must have found it stays in better condition in the slurry then.

Tubs

Sun, 2013-01-13 23:02

They use those pallet size tubs, half full of flaked ice then use the deck hose to bring the water level to 1/3 - 1/2, head and tail the fish, taking care not to straighten them if they're bent [tears the flesh inside because they are so cold and set] and when the tub is almost full coat with another bag or two of flaked ice to top it off. The bigger tubs usually hold 400kg of fish, the rest of the weight is water and ice.

 Bleed by cutting in the top

Sun, 2013-01-13 20:23

 Bleed by cutting in the top 1/4 of the gills on each side. You will see when you hit it!!  By doing this you get the main artery on each side with out cutting the throat and releasing any stomach acid!spike then in a slury!! Especially super deep fish! You can even cut just above the tail to get it all out! It's noticeable with bass, puka, blue eye, 8 bar cod and pinkys! An defiantly helps all other fish! 

 

The wet liners Iv worked on want it done this way for market but no tail cut

Looking after fish!

Sun, 2013-01-13 23:21

My step-bro is a wetlinner and they catch, spike and saltwater ice slurry for 20-30 mins initially!!!!

 

Once done they put them into the fish cargo hold and cover them with saltwater ice until they get back to the dock to unload for Kails etc!!!

 

For me (edited);

 

Tailor/Sambos/Amberjack/Salmon/queen snapper/dolpinfish - Spike & bleed then ice!

Sharks - batton, take off fins, bleed, gut then ice!

Dhufish/pink snapper/reef fish/whiting etc - spike and ice!

Superdeep species - Bleed and ice!!!

Spanish mackerel - batton/spike/bleed and ice!!!!

 

Works for me!!!!

Interesting.

I had a go at not bleeding Dhueys , but i found blood throughout the fillet. 

It maybe that my slurry isn't correct temp , but I bleed everything except whiting.

Blood

Mon, 2013-01-14 08:38

Sounds like you haven't spiked it correctly or your slurry isn't cold enough if you dropped it in live.

Bleed and gut

Mon, 2013-01-14 08:53

i bleed and gut ours and then on ice. Way i figure is that as soon as its dead, the guts start going bad so, might as well get rid of them. Especially the spanglies. they stink.

Mon, 2013-01-14 20:15

for our bigger fish, we found its roughly minimum 10 minutes plus 1 minute per kilo to bring a gutted fish to zero core temp.

100 kilo swordy=2hrs

gutted big fish are quicker as the cavity allso fills.
