[Fents]

6 yrs old and doing a better job at fishing than me at 23!!

 

[Katherine]

She caught three that day. She is a natural. Reminds me we should go again soon!

 

[Henno]

Oh gawd! You've done it now Katie, what starts with little bream off the pier ends up with requests for a new Shimano Stella worth $1000. Get her into brewing, it's cheaper.

An ordinary haul for an offshore charter up here. No other bugger on the boat could fish besides Mrs Henno and me. Everything in this photo except for the big emperor and a handful of the little hussar (they are the little red ones) we caught ourselves. Just finished cleaning our share of the haul, which was a bloody lot. Sushi and sashimi coral trout, maori cod and grassy sweetlip for dinner.

[Katherine]

Look at the colours.... you have it good henno...

 

[Kleiny]

off to the murray this weekend with the fishing club looking to catch some murray cray and maybe a couple of cod or yellow belly. Heading up behind lake boga it a nice quiet spot. Relax with a brew or two on the river.

Coz you commented on the colour Katie I shrank this one for you. On the left is the common or spotted coral trout. On the right is the barred coral trout, the blue spots run into bars at the head end. As for taste and texture I just go weak in the knees thinking about them. Oh yeah, in the centre is wifus Japonicus.



The usual suspects back home ready for the knife. From top left anti clockwise: big Maori cod, bigger grassy sweetlip, small pinky parrot, two coral trout and finally lots of little hussar. Hussar are a tasty plague to have.

If you get some cray could you take a few pics, I am really interested in fresh water crustacea. Photos of them on the plate before eating would be great as well.

Good luck.

Here's what it looked like on our table that night. From top to bottom, coral trout,grassy sweetlip,maori cod nigiri. Nutto ships on the left. Sashimi plate is the same order. On our plates are grilled maori cod flaps with heaps of rock salt.

Sorry mate, nutto is actually spelled natto. I can come at it sometimes but it is truly weird soybean stuff. The sauce is very stringy, well to be honest, is like snot.

Have a squiz at this natto link

Heading back there this September - I am SOOOOOOOOOOOO pumped!

When i was in japan for school exchange, my host familys daughter had the stuff for breakfast.. basically its fermented soybeans. crazy stuff. i didnt like it. its an aquired taste to say the least. :icon_vomit: I wanted to like it... but just couldnt, even with bucketloads of soy sauce.
