John Dory- simply fantastic.
Kingfish -Sashimi or fried, bloody awesome.
King George whiting.
Flatty
Garfish-bizarrely, best sashimi I've tried.

Carl, I find some people and restaurants (the odd time I eat out) that fish are "over-seasoned" with this or that flavouring which lessens the taste and flavour of the actual fish.

Coral Trout is a fish I would like to try and heard so much about it. How would you describe it?


The same thing is done with meats and poultry, especially Beef and Pork. Done right (with the right cuts) the real flavours of the meat/flesh can be amazing.

Sweet firm white flesh. I also liked tassie trumpeter but you can’t beat flathead

It’s a rarity to find somewhere that sells it my local fish monger sometimes has it but it 50 dollars a kilo of fillets it’s really expensive when we go to visit family we normally get some fish and take it back with us

We've seen the worst.. how about the best?

We are extremely lucky that we can walk out the door and target KGW, Flathead and Squid without even needing a boat. IMO three of the best eating fish in the sea.

However the best of the best for me is Patagonian Toothfish (aka Chillian Sea Bass). We use it at work from time to time and this really is the type of fish that all you need to do is cook it with a little sea salt. No need for heavy sauces and flavours or a special method of cooking. But at about $100 a kilo ($350+ a fillet) you would hope it would be good.

Add garfish to that

Thanks Nude up, that sounds very nice

Nice to see it is a firm "sweet flesh". Most white sweet fleshed fish I have come across (and liked) are a softer flesh and thus less "usagle" preparing and use in a dish .


Cheers, Bugs , , , , tough old flesh
