Nice work guys! I was up the top end and got onto a few gumbos. So sound like it was a productive day today.

Well done. Any size to them

Was the same with australian salmon with many saying they are **** to eat. Dad wanted to try some so i took few home one day. Now he constantly asks for them hahaha.
I guess it's all in the way its prepared.
Lets see how these wrasse taste.

Wrasse tastes like slimy sh*t. It may be OK with curry or anything else that will drown its taste and smell.

I cooked one the same way i cook pinkies. I gave my dog his share which was the whole fish because i cant swallow my share. The bugger gave it one sniff and walked away.

Absolutely agree, they taste terrible and my cat even snubbed her nose at them

Wrasse are fine if cooked right. There used to be a big market for live wrasse in Sydney(not sure if there still is) Fish used to be caught at the prom and sent up in large tanks, to the restaurants. Then they'd put them in a display tank and you would pick the fish you want in the tank and they cook it.
Mostly Asian restaurants and it was mostly steamed, so the flesh stayed firm.

There's a bloke down here who uses crab traps to catch live wrasse. They're worth a fortune, and if I recall correctly he even has some flown to some overseas fish market.
