Awesome vid mate keep up the good work! Shovel nose guitar fish would be an interesting one to cook up for the undesirables. I've heard it being referred to as poor man's flathead at times
Thanks man, ill add to the list im very cautious of skate and rays though, and how that would be perceived by beach goers negatively impacting the view of spearos but im sussing it out haha
I think I may have seen one of these sitting on a rock at a depth just beyond my comfort zone on my 2nd spearfishing trip, I also suspected it could have been a rock cale so I definitely didn't put any effort into finding out 😂😂 But, I will definitely be keeping an eye out for the sarge now. Love your work
@@WetMammal ha idk I look forwards to seeing if it's a good or bad fish for eating. It's super nice to just have an idea of what's local and probably a little easier for a beginner just trying to get some lunch
Absolutely ripper video, thoroughly enjoy this channel and I’ll absolutely be trying the red dragon. Would you do those little sting rays or is that a bit dangerous? Always wonder if you could eat them.
A few people have suggested rays i still dont know where i sit with them. The view of the general public may dislike me leaving the water with a dead ray. Might affect public relations haha
Well done mate. Great prep and cook. Ok stingray! There is a famous dish skate wing in 🇬🇧 dish skate in brown butter and caper sauce. Wonder how that would go with stingray?
If its a new mask apply a flame to the inside of the mask to burn the factory film that is on the inside. If thats been done dry your mask out 100% Every dive before i get in i spit in my mask and rub it on the inside of the mask. After about 3 - 5 mins i wet my face let the water run off it then rinse out the mask with salt water, let the sun hit it for 5-10 seconds then put it on your head ensuring a decent seal and tht you dont breathe out of your nose until your mask is submerged :)
@@WetMammal yeah it’s probably the same fish however the one my son shot was about twice the size and had a really distinctive blue flesh even after cooked. I said to my son, the rule is “if you shoot it, you eat it.” He was not happy. Since then he mainly shoots zebra fish and loves them.
A great question, so it all comes down to species likely to have parasites and areas where parasites are common, luckily for most fish in NSW parasites are incredibly incredibly rare meaning i can safely eat most common fish raw :)
Hey man, had a question, im just getting into spearfishing, how would you recomend getting familiar with all the local NSW fish species?? Feel like theres so many its a bit daunting.
A very very controversial opinion haha, naa realistically its okay a 4/5 out of 10 still isnt bad a 5 on my scale is just average. But there are soooo many other species that taste better so why bother in my opinion
@@WetMammal agreed to all that. All I'm saying is that a Vietnamese mother in law will make anything taste incredible. Lemongrass, chilli and garlic ftw....lol
