Perfect CHONG

Almost lost it when it headed for the coral.
I liked your recipe too
God to hear that its a sweetlip type fish
By the way what does M.I.L.F stand for???

hey I can assure you, down south that is NOT a mowong, but I agree that IS a slatey bream and MAY be referred to a mowong up there.
I got it
Maybe a blue Morwong down south
Noelm,
got a pic what you southerns call a morwong?? To compare
will post if I can dig one up
here is the definative recipe for morwong.
1. do not bleed as there is no real need it does not improve the quality of the meal
2. i tend to knock the scales off at the start as this helps with later presentation
3. then fillet
4. once filleted lay out on your board flesh side up
5. cut lengthways into strips approx 1"wide and 6' long
6. at this time prepare a ice slurry and add some salt to drop the temp! ( very important step)
7. take you strips and thread onto a snooded double or and gang of hooks
8. feed this out into your burley trail and catch a bloody decent fish.( note dont let your bait fall all the way to the bottom again you will only catch another Morwong)
9. Once you have caught your decent fish ,bleed and put into your prepared ice slurry.
10. clean the board and never contemplate eating Morwong again( this means you aswell Chemmy)

Ps. just expanded on your original idea Foxy!!! you haven't really eaten morwong have you mate?
Alcohol doesn't agree with me, but i sure do enjoy the argument!!!
Blue morwong are a pretty good feed, same as lots of other fish , you only get the sh!ts & call them names when you cant catch a different sort of fish.

yep, thats a mowie, notice the extra long pectoral fins, half the length of the fish (approx) and although not really all that clear, they are a much more heavily scaled fish and a distinctly forked tail, nothing like a Slatey bream in looks or flavour, plus probably a dozen other differences but you get the picture?
looks like a treva to me, will get some books out and have a look tonight,
got any closer pics guys?
MORWONG HAVE THE DISTINCTIVE LONGFINS EACH SIDE........
and they are a good chew too. what you call a morwong in Qld is not the same as the NSW morwong. onerabbits pic is a nice mowie......
chong, no way no how is it a trevally of any type, It is a Mowong
