Someone said the secret to eating them is to scrub the silver stuff off.
I tried one, nice sweet flesh, but it's better to take them over 80cm...
a few bones but they come ok.

haven't caught them in years down here, they look ugly as but they are beautiful eating. the guys down here used to flog them when they were on, and they got very hard to come by so we stopped chasing them. might try and get out to my old haunts this year and see if they're back in any numbers
I think the smaller ones would be great for trolling for spanish!! I think they might taste good smoked.......
To much water to fish and not enough time......
They are top eating.The silver frosting can be wiped off.Cut them crosswise into steaks and shallow pan fry.They used to be thick in places like Coal and Candle creek in the Hawkesbury system and around half tide rocks at the entrance to Brisbane Waters at Woy Woy but you don't hear much about them these days.Hope they show up down our way this year.Not much seems to be known about their life cycle - they just come and go.The spcimens you are catching seem to be much smaller than the average we used to get down here.Maybe they breed up north and grow rapidly before they reach us.

aspire to inspire before you expire
waratah bay used to be a top spot for them mick. i already spoke to a mate and we're gonna rug up and anchor up for a night this winter to see if they're still turning up
Heard that they were a delicacy to people down south but they are like a wolfie, all slimy and I can't get over the slime.
The use them for mack bait here.
