Spearfishing The Undesirables Ep 8 Green Moray Eel

- Spearfishing Moray Eel or Green Moray Eeel exactly the type of undesirable i was keen to test out. Prolific around Sydney and NSW you will commonly find these guys in rocky weedy reef. They love hiding in holes sticking their not so attractive heads out
I spearfishing in Sydney and the surrounding areas of Australia. The whole purpose of the Undesirables Series is to try and tempt people into eating different fish and break away from the traditional attitude that there's only 5-6 good eating fish in Australia. If we all ate a more varied selection of fish from the ocean there wouldn't be massive pressures on particular stocks. So eating a greater variety of fish will make our spearfishing more sustainable.
I cook this fish up as kentucky fried eel, coming to a drive thru near you.
An important warning some eels including moray eels contain large amounts of toxins in both their mouths, blood and the mucas on their skin. Digestion of this toxin could make you very crook and even kill you.
When the toxin goes above 72 degrees it will make it safe to consume. Bleeding the flesh is incredibly important.
I would recommend wearing glove whilst handling the eel also. To help avoid a bite

All fish were of legal size and were speared for consumption, I have a NSW Fishing Licence and abide by catch size limits, daily takes and no fish zones. Over the past 5 years now I have made the commitment to no longer buy fish, so I only eat the fish i catch. Spearfishing is the most sustainable form of fishing on the planet, it is also the most environmentally friendly form of fishing.

This is the best series!! I always get told “o this fish is disgusting” but really it’s all about the cook and the preparation. But yes it could just be bad tasting of course
Absolutely man, too many blokes out there who cant cook putting other people off great eating fish
@@WetMammal facts
Unluckiest moray in Australia. Literally lol
He did not expect this to go down
Most underrated TH-camr! Awesome video and series!
Thanks man! Hopefully if people keep sharing liking and subscribing the channel will continue to boom :)
Great video! Love this series
Thank you :) its been fun to have been recording them all week
As a canadian deep inland, thank you for these videos! Super entertaining and educational
No worries thank you!
Breaded pan fried fish is the best, almost any fish prepared this way is good, wouldn’t expect that after moray eel, it just has aura “I’m not worth it” , if you know what I mean, but no, apparently it’s great when someone else filets it for you🤣. My fav of your series, you must try Wrasse next time you are in UK.
About eating fish raw, not my cup of tea, a specially after finding worms in Atlantic Cod meet☹️
I subbed the minute you dropped that sashimi moray down your throat. Wild 😅
Hahaha im putting the body on the line for the channel and science!
Been looking forward to this one ☝️
I would of smoked it and prob would of been a lot less work too
Im smoking the next one for sureee
Cool
Shot my first eel today.. Here in Hawaii we have plenty, I got bit by one yesterday while cleaning a fish I shot. Eel is a pain to clean but delicious and plentiful
Mate I recon silver drummer are perfect for this segment. They get such a bad wrap but I don’t mind them
They are on the list :) will be plugging the next one i see
100% keen for the silver drummer
I love silver drummer hey so under rated
@@WetMammal Just so you know, there are three different species so I guess you should try them all.
@@slow_diver what are you trying to do to me haha i actually didnt know that
Hey its vort the kid from the spearfishing meeting thanks for the merch once again next time on the undesirables you should try blind shark ive always thought of shooting one but ive never commited
Hey Vort thanks for your time, ohh yeah ive actually not even taken one myself yet either
Great vids! I saw you in one of I did a thing's videos and been watching your channel since
Awesome thank you for sticking around, hope you are learning a thing or two :)
@@WetMammal Its really satisfying to watch you catch stuff. Unfortunatly I have very little access to seafood since Im from hungary
Awesome, ahh sorry to hear that i wonder if you can spearfish in lakes or rivers there?
Caught a lot of those in Gordon's Bay, always chuck them back because I thought they are inedible or poisonous
Hahahahahahah had to watch this one. You're mad keen eating one of these 🤣 no reason it won't be tasty tho. I learned how to deal with eels from my father in law. Start by hanging them or rub in salt then use 'paper towels' to get rid of all the slime. Then stick the head of the eel through the head of a nail stuck in a piece of wood so it's easier to fillet. Then either cook it with bones in or use debone pliers and pull out the pin bones
Haha it was actually really yummy, im stoked to smoke one at some point
@@WetMammal yea hardout I bet
Considering you’ve never filleted a moray before not surprising it was difficult Sam but in all great job 👍🏼
Thanks man, i would love to go at it again with a bit more knowledge on it
@@WetMammal practice is the best way to learn. Lots of suggestions here for you mate, mine is flutemouth. I know this is used for sashimi, thinking of trying it out myself. Also called cornetfish
Hey mate. Use the way of Japanese BBQ to cook it, which can lift the score to 9/10
Looks pretty good, I’ll have to try one as they are everywhere. Can you do red mowwie, they are very polarising. I think they taste awful but may I can’t cook?
Thanks, yeah they definitely are and ill be eating again for sure. Man i love Red Mowie i just dont shoot them anymore as i think they get smashed, are you bleeding it as soon as you shoot it?
@@WetMammal I’ll usually stone them with the shot. Then bleed and gut them whilst they are on the spear. I have cooked them several different ways and they just go all mushy and taste a bit sickly to me. My mates enjoy them though? Maybe I need to put them on ice? I usually eat them straight after shooting them.
I think you could skin the eel like you would a burbot or a rabbit. Just make a gentle cut around the neck, and after that with a pliers pull the skin off like a sock.
Man i tried for all of 5 seconds and it tore the flesh 😅
Demonic pretzel for sure
I still cant process how perfect the knot is
how do you battle contractions diving?
Its hard to put into words but i literally just focus on something else and they arent bad the more you focus on them the worse they get i reckon
That eel head 😂
Bahaha
Thats a wicked video man,
Any chance you're looking at Sea Urchin? They're pretty invasive, all over the place and apparently the sushi goes for $45 a pop
Thanks man, i love urchins! Absolutely delicious ill add them to the list
Yes, let's see it
In the Philippines we cook it adobo style yumm
I bet that would be incredible… i miss abodo pork soo much
can you do the herring cale as your next fish?
Leave it with me
@@WetMammal There’s heaps around South Maroubra and local reefs. They love to swim around the sea grass and weeds!
Awesome work man, I wonder if it would be worth cutting into steaks and taking the skin off and just eating around the bones?
Thanks man, i reckon, the next way i try it is smoked though hmmmmm
@@WetMammal yup i think thats how our maori bros do it over in aotea
What coating did you use?
A Kentucky Fried Homemade mix, basically something ive perfected over the years that tastes almost identical to KFC
@@WetMammal Share your secrets, looks delicious!!!!!
It's crazy that it knows to bite you and where your hand is even when long dead
Absolutely the muscle memory is insane
the moorays are pretty smart and usually arent aggressive when moving about that or im thinking another mooray
checked the channel for the kelpfish video but it dont exist yet.
The rock cale is done, the kelp cale is yet to be done 🤣
Nail the tail to a log of wood and use pliers and sharp knife to fillet and after all that effort give the fillet to the neighbors cat!
Hahahhaa
Most fish are pretty chewy when fresh though, right?
Yeah absolutely but this had been on ice for about 2 hours so it should have been alright perhaps it needed a bit longer
@@WetMammal I've heard sash is aged a few days at least
Holy shit this thing is scary
What is that monster at 0:50
That my friend is a massive stingray they get hugeeee
Whats your 7 herbs and spices recipe? I’ll give it a crack.
Paprika, salt, pepper, cumin, tumeric, garlic, mixed herbs, lemon and herb mix flour and 1 secret ingredient haha
in asia and europe they eat freashwater eels
Yeah in many places around the world Moray are eaten too
Looks like a pain to deal with in the water and out of the water. The pricks have bitten me that many times going for lobsters!
Absolutely they are but im really keen to smoke one now i reckon it would be good. Time for you to seek some revenge me thinks!
@@WetMammal The texture suprised me. How long before your prepped it from when you shot it roughly?
@@Jacedives so shot and in the water with me as i made my way out 20mins. Walk to car 5mins
On ice drive home 40 mins
On ice whilst i set up camera gear take pics and have a shower 50 mins
Start recording
@@WetMammal I wonder if curling on the spear stage is them going into rigor mortis, so its an accelerated state. By the time you got it home the muscles just had not relaxed yet. Very strange!
hey x
Bonjourno mi scusi
Go the Banjo Shark
Ohhh controversial atm im steering clear of sharks and rays but who knows
@@WetMammal as interesting as it would be i would hate to see someone cook up a PJ or other friendly shark/ray
Gonna have to give it a crack, had a decent sized one demolish a lobster I was targeting
Let me know how you go. Honestly if you can get past the filleting stage you are laughing 🤙🏼
Gotta clean it w salt to take the slime off
Top tip right there, I’ll definitely be using salt on the next one 🤙🏼
@@WetMammal I think fresh water eel would be more worth the effort than Moray😂
Which I hope is - 🐕
Which I - 🐕🦮🐕🦺
Which I hope - 🐶
And what is this riddle in which you speak
I wish you showed the 2nd mouth
Sorry man
