I can confirm that blue-eye
I can confirm that blue-eye is awesome. I am also a fish snob...given my freezer is filled with most of our demersal species up the coast.
The texture is clean, big flakes, non-fishy, moist, soft, delicious! I do see potential for the fish to be easily overcooked, as its quite lean and would become very dry quickly on a bbq or something to that nature. I don't expect most fisherman can cook fish too well, hence mixed reports.
I would put it up there with a smaller dhu fish, as the larger ones (10kg+) can be a bit so-so. Wouldn't class it as good as a baldy or robinson sea bream which are a 10/10 for me, but a firm 9/10!
