Re: Do you eat Snapper?
What do you like to eat slinga?
IMO it depends which snapper, where they are caught ect.
Winter reds from northern PPB send them back, new season fish and in particularly the smaller ones 2-2.5kg are good (I like to cook them whole in the oven).
I would describe snapper as good eating but they are not in the same league as flathead and KGW.
My personal favorite is flathead caught in crystal clear blue water found in bass strait.

Only fish I eat really are Flattys, KGW, and Gummy.

Re: Do you eat Snapper?
Fair enough. I would rate a new season snapper better than gummy but the 2 gummies we caught the other day were very good (the best gummy I have eaten in years).
What about squid?

I like squid.
But too valuable for me to eat, any squid I catch becomes bait.

Certainly valuable bait but heads for bait and save what I can of the tubes for food.

If you know how to cook them, they taste great. Sweet and sour sauce and steamed snapper :dinner:
pan sized is best and best eaten while still hot. cat and dog food when cold. big ones tend to dry up when cooked
