Hopefully you've skinned and filleted the fish before freezing ::)
If so, defrost the fillets in salty water, you'll be amazed how far this goes towards removing the muddy taste from the fish ;)

If still whole, defrost, then try to skin and fillet it while it drips with snot...then same process.

Cook as any other whitefleshed fish, small pieces in a simple seasoned flour seems to work well. :D

Flour salt and pepper in a bag chuck in fillets and shake it all about then into the pan 8-)

trick is to always fillet and skin yellow belly. Skip anything over 45cm - let them swim away. On a par or better than any fish. Great tossed in flour, crumbs or even firm enough to use in stir frys (don't overcook).
And stick to the bag limits.

Grill it.

soak in a bit of milk overnight. Beer batter on the barbie. May be a little mushy. Add squeezed lemon, drink lots of beer. Delicious!

being from the central west the most important thing you about yellow belly is that after filleting and skining is to remove the fat at the top and bottom of the fillet . this made easy if the fillets are cold

Thai green curry, just do veges as normal, then chuck in cubed fish and a hand full of green prawns when it's nearly done, few minutes is long enough, when the prawns show full colour it's done. yummy. As above with stir fry, don't over cook as it will fall apart. ;)
