Caught 2 big ones a while back and ate them fresh with a cornflour and lemonade batter, just added a touch of turmeric. Was pretty good. Agree with your verdict.
Great stuff, mate. Love spearing and eating Aussie salmon. I'll usually grab 2x at a time and do one sashimi and smoke the other one. Next one I get will definitely be going into a frying pan with a flour dusting though with some chips and brown vinegar!
Ah mate! Aussie Salmon aren't a trash fish! Is funny people's perceptions of them, and I think the taste may vary between regions. Love them as sashimi on day caught (good to see you having a crack at it) and go alright in a pokebowl too. Reckon they keep longer than you give them credit for too. For breaky I ate my last fillet from one I caught Sunday (writing on a Thursday evening). Simple pan fry with taco spice, capers, and eggs! Cool vid mate, and love the concept of chasing the undesirables!
Exactly man ill always shoot if i see one. That brekky sounds mean as! I forgot to mention that it only applies to some salmon im not sure why some degrade a lot quicker than others. Even in similar conditions.
I got a mate who used to live in WA, and I know he thinks the salmon taste and quality varies by region. Maybe we just have the better ones down here, haha!
Great video mate! Never understood the hate the Aus salmon gets, I think you explained it well with it deteriorating quickly though. Seems alot of "bad fish" is probably cause by the poor treatment after the fish is landed.
Last time I shot one of these I was in an Airbnb and all they had was a Weber. So I just tin foil baked it whole with dill, lemon and butter inside the gut cavity and it was amazing. You do need to bleed them though, like you say, and we ate it about 3 hours after it came out of the water. Best way to way to eat them aside from smoking I reckon.
I have only caught 2 aussie salmon before (both on rod and reel) and cant wait to shoot one. The first one I made a mess of when gutting on the beach so it was a nice and gritty dinner. The second one I was more careful with and had amazing battered fish with salad.
Ah good to see you got around to the Salmon, a good eating fish that is pretty much the best example of why it's so important to treat a fish or (any game) properly after capture. Unfortunately salmon will probably always have a bad rep to the lazy Fisherman though because of exactly that, they are lazy 😂, us that know how to treat produce know which fish are good, and the salmon is pretty good haha. And yep you're right about that, they are a WHOLE different beast in WA😏. Sick vid man enjoyed the watch🤙🎣
Yep couldn’t agree with you more. Bleeding the fish instantly and shaking it out will dramatically reduce the amount of blood inside the fish. Some fish bleed better than others though
Eaten myriads of these, easiest way is bleed them straight away, then fillet and skin them, and cut out the red meat and then cut into fish cocktails batter and deep fry them. No strong taste at all. Enjoy your videos
How did I only just find this? Glad I did bloody great video!!
Haha thank you!

Nice video

Yeah they are such an underrated sustainable fish to spear hey not to mention bloody tasty!
Surely gonna have to try the yakka! Can always count on you to take one for the team haha

No egg wash, add a pinch of Chinese 5 spice in the batter mix :)
Ohhh nice!

Beautiful shots!
Thanks man!
All the youtubey stuff😂 keep up the good work man
haha thanks man will do
Finally a new video :D
Sorry its been awhile! Big announcement next video thatll make you happy!
@@WetMammal looking forward to it
Great video mate! Never understood the hate the Aus salmon gets, I think you explained it well with it deteriorating quickly though. Seems alot of "bad fish" is probably cause by the poor treatment after the fish is landed.
Yeah i think too man people have mistreated it or given it a go a day or two late. Great when fresh
awesome video! first salmon I shot I thought it was a whiting due to poor vis and I ended up using as fish bait later.
Thanks Sam, ohh have you eaten one now?
@@WetMammal I see them around St. Leonards so, so I'll definitely give on a shot, literally.

Amazing yeah freshness and bleeding is key with this fish
These vids are amazing mate. Keep it up!
Thanks man will do!
👍 good video
Thanks Keanu!

Haha ohh no the old gritty fish. Yeah its super yum and there are soo many ways to cook it but I definitely recommend the smoking
Great video mate. I got a smoker for Christmas and am looking to give this fish a second shot!
Thank you! What a sick Christmas present, absolutely man!
Super important to bleed immediately as well
Absolutely especially with a fish like Salmon
Love swimming in a Salmon tornado 👌🏽
Never gets old hey

100% man, absolutely laziness leads to missing out on soo many different tastes hey.
Thank you!
What about the sea urchin cooked?
I heard they make good sashimi
Its okay not my go to but definitely can be done!
Have U ever tried crimson banded wrasse? I often see them and wonder if they're worth eating
Yeah i have they arent too shabby but i think other wrasse taste better
Its the blood.that is the problem and makes it taste bad, when you filleted yours I noticed almost no blood. I think it depends of the fish
Yep couldn’t agree with you more. Bleeding the fish instantly and shaking it out will dramatically reduce the amount of blood inside the fish. Some fish bleed better than others though
Plz plz plz do stingray
Hahaha that would cause a stir
Are you on a working holiday visa dude?
Haha no skilled work visa turning resident
@@WetMammal Thas fantastic mate. What skill did you use?
One of my favorites to crumb up. Just gotta get all the blood out of them buggers
Yeah 100% probably the most important fish in NSW to bleed
Go spearfishing whit guy from Chanel I did a thing
Thanks for coming over
@@WetMammal yeh I'm spearfishing to
Love a good Salmon 🐟🗡️🐟 bleed them straight away and they're great!
Absolutely!
