Re: sandy gars
I agree. Even though KGW is a good tasting fish.. I would have to say kingfish is my number 1. Followed by gummy, KGW, leather jacket, flathead and then squid.. never tried mako...Nude up wrote:Coral trout but it's a bit hard to catch round here, in order mako, flathead, gummie sharkMsShimano wrote:Just interested to know nude up.. what's your best tasting fish?Nude up wrote:How do you go with the bones I have tried them wasn't that impressed but then I don't rate kgw either.

Re: sandy gars
Garfish is my favourite fish to eat in Vic tbh.MsShimano wrote:Very nice!!!
What do they taste like? How do you cook them Daz?
I knock fillets off, (leave bones in - they disolve as they are cooked) roll the fillets up, and push a toothpick into them, then roll them in flour seasoned with salt, pepper, chilli, etc.
Then I cook up a sauce where I melt down some anchovy fillets and garlic/diced onion, until it is saute'd and broken down, add a can of diced tomatoes and reduce until its lost its acidity. add some herbs (basil, oregano, etc)
Once the sauce is done, I shallow fry the fish in a high smoke point oil, and then remove the tooth picks and put them in the sauce over a low simmer.
I then sear off some green veg (asparagus, broccolini, etc) in some oil, butter, salt, pepper and lemon juice and serve the rolled up fillets on a bed of the sauce with a side of crunchy seared veggies.
One of my favourites.
