Backyard Aquaponics
A place to discuss aquaponics

Can't agree...I guess it's a question of taste (and what else is on offer). Even when bled instantly and put on ice they're only good for fish n chips for the kids. Sashimi?? My japanese wife thinks they're pretty horrible.

Different horses for courses chippy

Geez that video makes me so Jealous. I went fishing down the coorong to a beach called 42 mile crossing yesterday with a couple of other AP enthusiasts, notably VB made the trek from the Sunshine state. We had one day of sunshine yesterday, but the wind was howling onshore which made it hard to get it into the gutters. The 2 casts which actually made it to where we wanted them resulted in a nice lttle salmon and a beautiful Molloway. Unfortunately the mulloway needed to be sent back as it was under the 70 cm limit.
I don't know how anyone could catch more than a few of thos salmon in a session, after fighting this one, my back was completely stuffed. I needed a beer and a sit down for half an hour to recover
We are heading back down weather permitting this weekend and camping there, with a bit of luck we might get on to a few more. I think the salmon make good eating but I am not fussy. I cut all the bloodlines out of the fillets and skin them, then crumb and fry.

Gezz Stu... you been away so long you've forgotten how to resize photos....

Nice fish... and good to see VB is still alive and kicking...

Well done guys

Is VB in disguise? Good to see you two got it together in the end...

No Steve?

no Steve and no Joel........... maybe another day ??

We are still trying to get it organised for a fishing weekend at the shack with the boat.

jeez I hate you westerners sometimes......................

I'm going fishing tomorrow.... Hoping for some salmon...

Trout are much better tasting and we get a much longer season than them


This is what i tell myself to stay sane!!!!!

i hate u bloody westerners too!!!!!

They are a fairly common catch of the beach in esperance. I agree they need to be bled then eaten that day for best results.

yep...salmon mornay and patties get boring after a while

the Japanese eat the humble yellowtail raw also. They call them "Aji"

the kiwi go crazy over khawai...smoked or in a raw fish salad.

Yep, nothing wrong with a bit of kahawai...

Or the smaller, sweeter Kopapa...
