The best eating fish in the sea.

[bignick]

I was thinking about a fresh feed of fish (that's all I can do as I got nothing the other day) and I started to wonder what the best eating fish in the sea was. I have my opinions, as I am sure everyone else does. So, let's see what everyone thinks. At this stage, I have only included saltwater species that are available locally or reasonably locally. So, let's get to voting. Be advised that there will be no preference deals or vote swapping like our trusty politicians live by.

Cheers,
BIGNICK.

Nice big slab of parrot takes a lot of beating.

I gotta go with the flathead as I havent eaten any reef fish for years. Just cant seem to temp them on to the hook.

Oh well the boys will show me how at 1770

[Reefmaster]

I'm with Rob Reds are hard to beat although coral trout and pearlies are right up there.

"Parrot" come on Derek i thought you had more taste then that It still amazes me how many people like parrot ???

Cheers Greg

Reds - but if whiting came that size - it's be too close to call

[jaybee]

Maori Cod for me

[mini696]

I said reds... Not caught many (I cant get onto the reef). But its definatly my fav.

I dont mind a bit of parrot, snapper or flathead.

I like Yellowfin Tuna for sushi/sashimi.

[NEWBY]

I am with Derek. You can't beat a slab of Parrot. Lightly dusted in seasoned corn flower and fried in butter until golden brown. Served with fresh garden salad or golden brown chips. Oh sheeeeet. I have to go fishing this weekend now.

Red Emperor, followed very closely by large mouth nannygia. [smiley=thumbsup.gif]

[ssbayguide]

I'm with megafish, although I'd like to add fingermark, coral trout and black jew

But if the weather is crap and I'm feeling wealthy, a slab of atlantic salmon, or smoked salmon with pasta will do me fine. Costs about the same as fuel for a weekend.
