Yummo - I too would be very interested to hear the weight. Nick - did they have any noticable fat in the gut cavity or in the flesh?

no did not weigh him, was on my way to the girlfriends place, with the fish to have for dinner, when I remembered I should do that, sorry.
VB - there was no fat at all it was a very lean fish.

Nice fish Nick...remember seeing him in the tank on my last visit...was trying to work out how to sneak him out of the tank and onto my plate at the time

Don't think I could have done it as much justice as you have tho :wink:

nice one nick,

your barra look noticeably different to mine in body structure. mine seem to dip down more just above they eyes. i wonder if this has to do with the breed or the environment, perhaps both.

I believe there are a couple of different types BF. The ones sold in SEQ have to be of a particular type.

the different look could be either age/size related or it could be that mine are currently living in a half IBC and thus are limited in sitting around and waiting for there food, this might affect the way the muscle is laid down.

all being said am very happy with my fish and happier still that i have two left to eat.
