looks great VB

Wow, now that's some good looking fish! Those things are fat!

ripper looking fish. Did u fillet them without gutting them? I have a video link bookmarked that somebody posted recently. Nice fillets.

Yes - filleted without gutting. Re: nice looking fish - they are actually a lot nicer looking when they are alive. FOr some reason a few minutes after they are killed they seem to go all splotchy - losing a lot of their colour,

BTW - I have been skinning the fish also once fillteted. The pics taken are of the skin side up. Because there is a thin fat deposit along the skin - the nife slides nicely against that. Also - when cooking without skin - the fat is more likely to disipate.

Nice cook up vb....being watching my larger SP grow...starting to put on a good size now the bigger ones were removed, so another harvest shortly at Elks'

VB, you forgot to mention the non stop slime after you kill them

Oh? I thought that was something peculiar about the big 3.5 kilo Golden perch I ate (posted it somewhere)
They all slime heaps? I spent like 45 minutes trying to wash it before deciding it will dry up when baked
Honestly, there was enough to make Slimerhesitate!

Flat out trying to convince my dragon that fish are good, hope she doesnt see the slime thing

hehehehe, that's only a worry for the person who has to gut and prepare OB :-) Offer to do all the cooking of the fish

I dont think she would go near it Last fish i prepared was in Tas when I was 15 or so

Now there are 2 in Kal (everyone run for cover )

Only is she reads it

I didn't notice the slime as such. Hmmm - they are slippery to handle and fillet - but so are many fish.

Nah the GP I had seriously oozed it, but (for the benefit of OB's dragon) probably only cos it was so big - much bigger than we would grow...
