Spearfishing The Undesirables Ep 7 Rock Cale
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 17 ก.ค. 2021
- Spearfishing Rock Cale or Cockie is definite undesirable that I knew would come. Prolific around Sydney and NSW but after the hike and spear survival experience I think I would rather eat dirty sand than eat another Cale. But its 2021 and the people requested it so here we are.
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 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 tried cooking this fish in a way that nothing could taste bad... or so I thought.
Thanks to the bro Johnnie for making an appearance and helping out with the camera... think we should stick to the Korean bbq instead.

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.

Hahah I thoroughly enjoyed that, thanks Sam
Haha good, Thank you!
You finally did it mate... definitely took one for the spearo team on this one!
Hahah thanks man now to find some tasty critters
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 fuck this is the most depressing but funny video mate also love the honesty and giving it a nudge 🤜🤛
Hahaha cheers bro!
The beginning had me dying! You looked so excited to go after these fish. 🤣
Man, ive never been so uninspired to shoot a fish hahaha
Yessssss!!!!
Kudos 👍🏻
Awesome video, you're a legend for trying it! 😂
Haha thanks man
yew, cool video sam!
Thanks Liam
Haha that’s crook, this has further solidified not shooting a sea carp. Great ep mate, keep em coming!
Been waiting for this one since episode 1😂
Haha yes! The most undesired fish hey haha
i've been waiting for this one
You are a sick man 🤣
Yes Rock Cale!
I haven't had any beers or anything! Haha
🤣🤣🤣
It sucks that it was miserably cold out there but that’s also part of the fun!! So many fish are overlooked as trash fish that can be okay or good in the right conditions! I really will have to find a location like this to camp/hike and spear over time! I’ve noticed many fish that eat kelp and such are putrid smelling in the guts and that impacts fish flavor too!
Stoked editing the hike and spear video though i hope it makes up for the long break. Yeah completely agree with the kelp eating fish
@@WetMammal I wipe, fillet and skin weed eaters ( silver and black drummer, zebra fish etc. ) on the rare times I target and decide to eat them. I usually gut/gill immediately, then use an old toothbrush to scrub out the gut cavity, rinse, then in the esky with ice. Fillet and skin as soon as I get home. Salt, pepper, fennel or dill, lemon/lime juice cooked in butter. They are not bad then.
Really appreciating the work you’re putting in with this series. Have you ever tried silver drummer?
Should try mullet for your next one, mullet from the salt in Australia are actually pretty good, just have to bleed and gut them on capture of course. We do distinguish them though, the mullet in the estuaries tend to be fattier and muddier and just all round a LOT worse than the mullet in the full salt which are a lot firmer/whiter fleshed and honestly pretty good for most cooking styles, we then have the Yellow eyed mullet as well which is quite decent also, could be a couple ideas for the undesirables in future? As always, love the series bro, cheers.
Awesome thanks man, ive got the mullet recorded just have to sit down and edit the fella. cheers
You seemed to be really scared by this fish! :D
🤣🤣 with reason
You are crazy!
Hahaha i was a normal human until i decided to do this
Fucking hell bro, respect
Late to comment, but I remember starting out as a young fella with hand spear at Wollongong and shooting a few of these. Proud as punch I ga e them to my old man. He told me not to bother with them again. And he’ll eat anything. I remember how putrid they were to gut and clean. 😂
HAHAHAH so good, vid of the year
Haha cheers man
Shooting and eating a Rock Cale so nobody else has to hahaha You're a legend! This was a way better explanation than "They're just a trash fish" as most people say.
Haha cheers man! Taste buds still recovering
Sargent Baker next !
Next stop Herring Cale 😂
Shout!
Don’t say this mate ! It’s my fav fish gold gold 🤣😂
🤣🤣🤣
Here in my country Chile is also that fish. It is called jerguilla, it has a very strong smell and taste. it is recommended to gut and sacrifice at the time of hunting it.
the best way to cook them is in ceviche ✌️
Hey Pedro, No way! I didnt think i was going to eat this fish again but i will give that a go! Thank you soo much for sharing :)
It is still advisable to remove the skin because it stinks jajajajaja . use garlic, lemon with good acidity, it all depends on the chef's hand ... but better not eat it. Maybe they smell worse there.
I was proud once as a teenager to bring 3 of these suckers home, from Malabar, to my Italian parents just for them to tell me that they taste like the soles of some old boots.
Hahaha ohhh dear
5:27 Do you have any more stories on giving these to the top chefs? No video? Sounds fun
Crimson wrasse
Believe me or not - Rock Cale became rare at the coastline on the southern side of the Mornington Peninsula in Victoria.
Crazy is that due to overfishing?
@@WetMammal I can't be a 100% sure. But highly likely.
Thank you for your service, this is my favourite one yet 😂
Hahaha took one for the team maybe a few tasty ones before i go the Herring Cale haha
Luderick next!
Its been recorded 😉 but Hike and Spear next
Hahahahaha I shot a kind of black damselfish to get something back home and fried it... bro... never shooting those never again 😅🤣🤣🤣
They are on the list and I’m definitely curious to how it tastes
@@WetMammal the meat is tough and rubbery XD hahahaha
are they like strongies? (Dusky moorwong)
I dont know what that is sorry
@@WetMammal strongies not stongies haha. (Dusky moorwong)
please do ludrick in nz everyone thinks its a trash fish but I think it is amazing beutiful white flakey meat
On the list man, i personally have tried them a few times and didnt rate them but ive been given a recipe that apparently makes them a cracking fish so i will try that for the episode
Try moray eel😂
You are an absolute savage... but ok
@@WetMammal well fresh water tastes good is y not salt😄
It acts underwater a little similar to the marble fish we see down here in Victoria. Marble has blue flesh, gross.
Are you at mala
Best spot for Rock Cale 🤣🤣
Have you tried octopus? I've heard that it's alright
I love love octopus
Ok, I'll keep that in mind, love the vids
One of the 1st videos I watch and he eats a fish raw
🤣 welcome!
I like it
i speared a 42cm one they tastes ok but not the best
Did you eat it the same day?
I know it's not necessary undesirable but I never really hear about people bothering with it but could you catch a lionfish
Thanks man, if i see one ill be sure to pop it :) never tried and ive heard good things
@@WetMammal and sorry about requesting another fish with venomous spines you have bad luck with it on video 😅
Dude, please fix the sound issues. When the ads come on I almost blow my speakers lol
Buggar sorry about that, i will reduce the audio a tad more for the next one
@@WetMammal opposite, you need to raise your audio. Mainly your voice. I have to turn the sound way up to hear what your saying then when an ad comes on or the video changes, its way too loud
@@russianbotstein1422 gotcha! Bare with me and let me know how the next one goes 🤞🏼
Mate not gonna lie, i feel sorry for you eating this one, its probably better to not get a fish if this is your last resort
🤣🤣🤣
Banjo Shark
Nooo you didnt haha
@@WetMammal ive had 3, 1 pan fried in butter and lemon, 1 marinated and pan fried and 1 beer battered, beer batter was the best.
I'm really starting to think this series has gone way too far
Haha you did this! I take no responsibility from here on out haha
@@WetMammal Tell that to the doctors 😳
covid=no spearfishing😤😡
I believe if you live within 10km of the water apparently you can. This was recorded a few weeks back though
@@WetMammal at most 1/6 of the population would be lucky enough : (
