Lived with fishmonger and he called them Poormans Lobster as the flesh is similar.

I think you will keep em next time. 8-)
Plenty off the warny breakwall at night.

Stab in the dark, looks a little like a Fortescue or Soldier but I'll leave it up to someone who would have a better idea of other fish it could be

You'd be correct. I don't have time to work out which one it is though lol

Reminds self, to check pics on computer to be certain of species, Iphone screen is to small to tell the difference :doh1:

Deffently next time I will not be chucking them back sounds like a good eating fish
