Are they good on the plate Jay? Do they taste like the Redthroat Emps?

All the best on the future fishing trips!
Cheers.. Jangles

Yeah all the emps are much

Yeah all the emps are much the same mate although I guess it can vary depending on where they're caught and what they've been feeding on. Can't fault the good old emperor though, 5 stars every time and no worms, not like them Chinaman & Rankins

They taste so good mate!

They are so yummy! I feel like a Emp soon... What type of worms do they get? Are they the same as the ones as in the Giant Trevally? I've never tasted Rankin Cod, but I don't want to now if theya have worms!

All the best for the future fishing trips!

It's worth picking the worms

It's worth picking the worms out when you fillet them Jangles because the Rankin sure is delightful.

You can eat them no dramas

You can eat them no dramas Jangles, probably wouldn't even notice them once they're cooked up. They're small too, gotta look pretty hard to spot them.

probably doesn't happen too

probably doesn't happen too often mitch, I reckon you'd pretty much kill them once it was cooked.
