Sure Kane, sambo's are not everyones cup of tea but they make great fish curries etc at that size.

How deep Robbo?

Nothing wrong with Sambo to eat

Mon, 2009-02-16 15:38

We have never had a bad one as long as it is under15kg there abouts as the bigger one can have worms . Eatting quility very nice if you cook it right and fresh not frozen but saying that i have had friends say it is nice even then. SO I GUESS it is all in our taste buds some like it some do not, what i say is do not always listen to others try it yourself.

 

By the way mate nice sambo good fight on gun that is for sure did it take you for a ride *LOL*

Shot it in 20m. Nothing wrong with a bit of fresh Sambo on the BBQ. My 45 kg Rotty makes short work of the rest so it does not go to waste.

This is why people start to not post pics up come on guys its a fishing site not the chat line for PETA , great fish well done Robbo I bet it give you a bit of curry on the flat hook . And to the others have you ever had it smoked , it's quite suprising when they are small soaked in a brown sugar and vinegar mix then smoked and eaten cold.

Yep

Mon, 2009-02-16 15:57

Gotta agree with feral there.  Its been speared, same outcome if it came up on line and was necked and was going to be eaten.  What's the problem?  Just because you may like to release them, doesn't make it wrong....

In my opinion theyre not good eating, each to their own, what ever floats your boat! Good target practice at any rate.

Ill guess thats aimed at me?

Mon, 2009-02-16 16:50

I saw about half a dozen of them real close last Thursday diving off Rottnest, Because I didnt choose to put a spear through them Ill let you use your imagination!!!!!!

I dont care if people want to spear them, catch them and keep them catch them and release them, never heard of many people actually eating them before, always been referred to as a shit eating fish, hence blue juice chaters etc state on their website sambos caught will be released.

Thanks for your concern.

I got no problem with people

Mon, 2009-02-16 16:59

I got no problem with people spearing them if it isn't wasted, and it sounds like its getting eaten.

I've had some curried and its fine, hangs together pretty nicely, you just need to take a bit more care with em than you might a dhufish or some other 5-star eating fish.

It turns into mush frozen, although someone told me they know someone who uses them for fish cakes so they consider it a plus.

I'm sure bluejuice like to see them released, they want to bring someone else there next week to catch the same fish!

Nice one Robbo !

Wed, 2009-08-26 20:49

Yeh, the old Sambo gets a bit of a bad reputation from the guys who have been spoiled catching Dhuies, Baldies, etc every time they head out.
Sure it doesn't produce a great slab off prime flesh that is white, sweet and moist when cooked.
But give me a Sambo any day when it's time to cook a curry or even to eat as fresh sashimi !

post what you catch

Wed, 2009-08-26 22:39

Post what you catch Robbo. Nice fish. I used to cop shite at school for eating squid, fried white bait, freo sardines and cobbler because my grandfather(Italian) used to catch it fresh. Now that people are educated everyone loves a bit of Calamari and white bait and squid are not considered just bait anymore. I've had many a good little sambo feed and I havnt had one person pick it yet either. Wouldnt eat a big one though.

US food writer Jeremy Steingarten writes about "your personal calamari index". Its about how much people's food tastes have changed from the 80's on, using calamaris as the indicator. He is a good read if you ever spot his books.

we have eaten the big ones before , as long as there is no worms the flesh is good but gotta be fresh, they go down well with a nice creamy lemon sauce or your fave batter

gr8 fish

Sat, 2009-09-05 11:32

yeah m8 they are not bad eating if filleted correctly and cooked right,i used 2 work at kailis fish markets,fillet the sambos for restraunts,cafes,fish and chipshops aswell,also alot of fish and chip shopowners would buy them ,also might make alot of people think about it.also every1 thinks eating very fishy fish, like tasmanian salmon is great eating,i think it is over rated,all fish that are cooked and filleted corectly,taste great,great catch m8 cheersSmile
