Spearfishing The Undesirables Ep 9 Sergeant Baker

- Spearfishing the Sergeant Baker / Red Dragon / Dragon Snapper is a pretty easy undesirable to target as they sit pretty still. Prolific around Sydney and NSW you will commonly find these guys sat on top of boulders waiting to strike small fish that come by. I have only ever seen these guys once on sand so i presume its more common in boulder country, sometimes found in pairs or more.
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 just a crispy skin pan fry with a dressing.

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.

Yesss!!!!!!!! Back with my favourite series, always a delight to watch your videos.
Awesome thank you!
Love the subject concept of the undesirables. Cooked up a Red Rock Cod the other day. Sensational!
Thank you! Ridiculously good hey! I need to film more
Cool
Epic vid as always mate 👏👏👏 hahaha the pin boning is what you were supposed to do with the eel bruf 🤣🤣👌
Thanks man, haha yeah ill be deboning the next eel for the smoker!
@@WetMammal yeowww 🤙
Blend, it push it through a sieve, distill the remains and there will probably be a couple bones still there
Hahhahaha!
yakka fish
Another quality vid.... +1 for stingray next
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
Hmm could have been they do look a bit similar when perched on their boulders, Absolutely man it was yummmy
Love the series, and great work advocating for more sustainable and less known species. Try a Southern Maori Wrasse or Herring Cale.
Thanks Reuben really appreciate it :) awesome suggestions ill add to the list!
Herring cale taste good and are easy to catch
Yacka would be a cool one to do- probably one of the most sustainable fish anyone can eat!
On the list man thank you :)
Do yakkas or slimy mackerel- good bait but i wonder if they would be good on the chew
i would imagine that both species would be quite difficult to hit with a speargun outside the heads
Challenge accepted 😉
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
Undercover Flathead, love it, bigger versions definitely worth the effort. Great vid. 🐟🗡️🐟
Undesirables suggestion...
Cobbler next?
Thanks man, yeah its yummy hey, I already did the Cobbler man episode 6 😉
Can u please do an undesirable species on the crimson banded wrasse?
On the list thanks man
Can you do a stingray next?
Awesome series mate. I reckon try a longtom if u ever see one or a crimsonband wrasse
Thanks fellas! Yeah id love to give one a try. Crimson is on the list for sure 🤙🏼
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
good old dragon snapper
Haha love that name
hey mate just wandering what gun your using. also love ur vids
Hey, thanks man, im rocking an Aimrite king venom, vengeance and an envy
Man back to back undesirables. Haha I'm looking forwards to see what's coming. Eventually I'll get to hear your thoughts on lionfish lol
Is that a good thing? Haha id love to give lion fish a crack actually
@@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
I was wondering who sgnt Baker was in your eel video :)
Haha well i hope this video solved that mystery. A very unique little fish hey
i caught one fish that was 80cm yesterday
Splinter Cell: Sam Fisher goes on the hunt under seas.
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?
Butter and capers is one of my favourite combos im sure it would be delicious im just debating it up
@@WetMammal 😆
Longfin pike would be an interesting one man, love from Devon via Sydney bey
Haha yes mate awesome to know theres another Devon spearo in Sydney, we will have to tee up a dive, Episode 4 might be what you’re after
@@WetMammal ar geddon my lover I musta mist e, hows bout yellowtail scad?
question when he eats it raw how does he know there's no parasites in it he could possibly eat
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 :)
@@WetMammal thanks i never knew that thats somthing i will keep in mind
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.
Watch my spearfishing NSW series and itll include info on fish and tips for them 🤙🏼
You need to do butter bream or surgeon fish, whole deep fried. Will blow your mind
Both on the list thank you 🤙🏼
Fish
Great videos mate, could you do a video on avoiding fog in the mask? I’m having loads of trouble with this
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 :)
Anddd thanks man :)
Why is Sargeant baker undesired?
Because of the amount of bones in the fish people find it off putting
Give a marble fish a go!! That would be interesting with it blue flesh.
Thats a rock cale right? Watch Ep 7 :)… oh maybe not just read the blue flesh bit
@@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.
aussie salmon go alright to
For sure!
Nothing wrong with sergeant baker
I rate it
Similar to flat heads
It’s delicious man just boney
Controversial opinion. Rock Cale tastes fine, it's just too easy to shoot.
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
