    That fish looks like a Bartail Goatfish.
    They are great eating and when sold commercially they bring very high prices as they are believed to be an afrodisiac to some cultures.

    What Bassdebator said. The bigger ones are good eating, I use to throw them back but my Greek mates would take them home for fish stew.

    Hey Guys....Do you reckon this is it?.... very confusing hey!

    Also known as Goatfish

    Red Mullet are caught in demersal otter trawl fisheries in northern Australia. In southern Australia, they are mainly caught as a by-catch in inshore seine net fisheries.






    There is a limited high value market for domestic consumption of larger fish. The smaller Red Mullet are popular with South Australian consumers.

    Red Mullet are demersal fish and sue their barbels to search for food. They reach maximum size of 35-50cm fork length.
