Nice set of chompers

I actually don't mind eating them when fresh, just got to work your way through all the bones.

I have never tried them mate. Only ever used them as bait. What do they taste like? Can you compare it to another fish?

Yeah watch out for the worms lol They were a standard fixture on Victorian fish 'n chip shop menu boards for decades.

Lightning probably the closest fish I could compare to would be Tailor, perhaps a little stronger -with a subtle after taste of worm.
