Re: Whiting or Wrasse?
Wrasse better on the plate than whiting?

I know a bloke who really likes rock cod and yakkas.

Re: Whiting or Wrasse?
Yep and I was dumb enough to follow his advice and try a yakka.
Good bait but horrible on the plate.

Re: Whiting or Wrasse?
filletted and eaten fresh grass whiting are a nice table fish, anyone who says otherwise has either tried them whole, not eaten it fresh or not cut the darker flesh from around the belly off. Next time you catch a larger one fillet it and cook it up in a bit of flour in some butter in the pan and you'd be surprised! - Still nothing like KGW though.

Re: Whiting or Wrasse?
You are right with both your questions Whiting or Wrasse, although called a Grass whiting it is a Wrasse, looks like a whiting but is a member of the Wrasse or Cale family (Haletta semifasciata) and belongs to a group of fishes known as Odacidae, this one is a male while the plain brown colored one's of the same shape are the females.
Whiting are perchiforms that belong to the Sillaginodes family and the badly named grass whiting does not belong to this family.
Looks can be decieving!
