Catch and cook Murray cod
ฝัง

- People have been asking me for some time to film a catch and cook Murray cod video, now I have finally done it. It has been around 10 years or so since I last kept a Murray cod and I have to be honest, just keeping one was a challenge. I caught a nice 57cm last week that I was planning to keep but couldn't bring myself to do it after releasing so many over the last 10 years.
In this video you will learn how to fillet a Murray cod and how I like to cook a Murray cod.

If every fisher had the same release:keep ratio as you we'd have no issues with fishing stocks ever. Looks like a good meal.
Your spot on there best comment
Thank you so much Alex. It sure was amazing.
@@chriscoyne4827 You're.
Yes and no. It’s the lowlives that poach.
The damage done by recreational fisherman is minimal compared to commercial. But don't go after them, pay attention to the little guy
Father n son ,don't we need more people like it,great team 😊 !
Thanks so much mate.
Was a chef for 20 years, always use the unsalted butter Robbie, helps stop the burn to the crumbs, another hint, put a lid on the fry pan that way the pan becomes an oven, helps the inside of the fish cook evenly. Me personally I like to cook my fish In aluminium foil parcel, with lemon pepper seasoning, couple 🍋 rings, and a knob of butter, cooked on hodded BBQ, 180© ,and stops the fish from drying out.
Hey Toyo thanks so much for the great tips mate. 👍👍
Thank you TOYO STORMRIDER for your sensible and practical advice.
@@robbiefishing And keep the temperature at consistent 180© , with the fillets the size you've cut at about 15-20mins
Well done Robbie a great catch and nobody would begrudge you keeping one Cod. Another tip in cooking with butter, if you add some oil with it then it will stop the butter from burning.
Hi Kev thanks for the great tip mate.
What an absolute legend your old man is. So skilled too. Love it :)
haha Thanks Kano.
That was fantastic and your Dad was a natural in front of the camera. That was a very helpful video, thanks for sharing Robbie.
Hi Larry thanks so much for watching mate.
The whole family are champions! Terry is a bloody star!
Great video well done awesome demonstration by your DAD great to see a father and son working together awesome
My last boss (she was a chef) told me the butter knife is designed to stop the bread tearing when spreading the butter on bread
The old fella is a natural behind the camera and pretty handy with a knife too! Awesome video gentlemen!
Thank you so much John.
That looks so good my mouth is watering over it
haha It sure was amazing mate.
Nice video Robbie, always respected your catch & release ethics!
ur voice makes me happy
I’ve only eaten Murray Cod twice in my whole life of fishing, cooked them on the smoker and they were great.
Ahhhh the Great man himself...top notch masterclass rite here
Haha sure is. He does a ripper job.
Looks lovely
Thanks again Robbie, really enjoyed the cooking video.
Hey mate thanks d for watching.
Your dad is a genius with the knife.
Good one Rob, you should never feel the need to explain yourself for taking the odd fish to eat. You release probably 99% of what you catch and educate many on the importance of our waterways.
Thank you so much mate.
Glad i found your tube channel mate, love your fishing vidz👍
Hi Adrian thank you so much mate.
hi you and your dad done a awesome job
Yum, looks absolutely delicious, Robbie 👍🏼…. I was salivating watching you cook 👩🍳 lol. Enjoy mate.
haha Hey mate thanks for watching. It sure did taste amazing!
That was a lovely fish to take brother. Dad's filleting skills are top draw, no doubt about it. Little tip for the future Robbie lad, two table spoons of olive oil with your large cube of butter. The butter won't burn as easily and the blend is lovely with fish, I also hit the hot fats with a good squeeze of lemon before I drop the fillets in. Had a feed of reddies this way yesterday. Lovely.
Loved it Robbie!! In fact it made me a little bit hungry😜🐟
lol love your dad he is awesome. i have never filleted a murray cod before actually i have never seen a murray cod before. tell him from me thank you for doing that i learnt something new. love a good beer batter what a legend. great video robbie you both did a great cook up. have a lovely night mate 💜 p.s i have granny slippers too and i bloody love them lol
Thanks so much Aussie Girl. haha I love my slippers, I feel naked without my slippers on. LOL. I hope you have a wonderful day.
@@robbiefishing well thats a little too much information first thing in the morning 😂😂🤣take care mate
Hi Robbie. Thanks for sharing two different ways to cook the fish. Really enjoying your videos. Kind regards MP
Thank you so much Michael..
No one should be upset about catching and keeping as long as its in moderation it actually makes the other fish in the lake better off great job and great video
Thanks so much mate.
yep slippers made me happy HA! Good to see your Dad making a guess appearance! :).
haha Thanks Trevor. I love my heel free summer slippers. LOL
Great job Dad!
Your old man is pretty skilled with that knife! Looked like a great feed for the both of ya, I need to go eat something now I'm hungry lol
Thanks for that Robbie, it’s good to see the entire and genuine puddle to plate rather than the usual “fish on” vids flooding TH-cam.
“Your doing it wrong - you should do it this way” ha ha there’s a fishing quote if there ever was one🤣
Being a redfin fan we use to always cook our fish exactly like that until before Xmas when we were in Aldi and we jumped onto the air fryer bandwagon. We did the crumbing the same way and put it in the air fryer and we are now converted.
But that’s us and the best way for taste is the way you showed 👍
Thanks for sharing
Love your work
Healthy habits
Well done Robbie nice feed i really enjoyed the cooking video.
Awesome video love the content 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Greetings from frozen Saskatchewan Canada (Jan 2024).
I understand these fish grow to incredible size over time. The juveniles look very much like our walleye.
I enjoyed your pops doing the cleaning, and really enjoyed the catch. They look like a great fighting fish! The cooking made my mouth water. Nice video.
Tight lines and big bites!
Thank you so much for watching. WOW What a beautiful part of the world you live in..
Yum nothing beats lemon of some kind with fish I love it 🤤
They sure do go together well mate.
another great work of art Robbie, I haven't had that cod for at least 20 years I had better get off my arse and go and find some , cheers Alister in Ballarat.
Thanks Alister. I don't keep a lot, but when I do I make sure I enjoy it as it is the nicest fish on the water.
Good luck mate. 👍👍
Good work Robbie
Thanks mate. 👍
Good on ya mate, I’ve always wondered what cod tasted like but never contemplated keeping one cause I’ve never caught enough legal sized fish. I don’t begrudge you. If I caught as many as you I’d give one a crack. And for it to be a surface fish as well I reckon it makes it so much better 👍🏼👍🏼. Love your work
yummo! been looking forward to the catch and cook after watching the catch. Great video Robbie 😊👌👊
Thanks mate, I hope my old man was able to give you a few pointers. haha
@@robbiefishing haha for sure, he makes it look easy
Iv watched this vid a few times but it just gets me every time “why I chose this one I think it was on special” 😂😂
Hahahaha
Great video Robbie absolutely no issues taking a fish for a feed thats what the bag limits for . I caught my first Redfin last week while on holiday was stoked on fly rod too
Thanks mate, and bloody awesome. Well done on the redfin.
Another great video Robbie. Although I have never eaten Murray Cod, I agree to yellow belly being a great table fish. I've eaten barra, eel tail cat, sooty grunter, bream, flathead and of course salmon, but, yellow belly is still my favourite.
Thanks mate. It's hard to beat a nice yellowbelly of around 40cm isn't it!
Hi robbie you guys sure know ya stuff what a cool way to fillet fish
Mmm! Better than Redfin and Trout you say! I might just have to catch(and keep) one and try that theory out. Sounds like fun. Another interesting video. Thanks heaps(and to your dad too)😁. Cheers Robbie
I usually dip fish or chicken in plain flour before coating in egg, found it makes the egg stick better before dipping in breadcrumbs. Maybe give it a go next time! :)
Great cook Robbie 👌
Thanks heaps Deb.
Nice one Robbie
Thanks so much Chris.
Great video. I’ve never used butter to cook fish, always olive oil. Butter looked good
Thanks mate. I only used butter because I usually use Margarine and everyone kept telling me to use butter. LOL
great vid Robbie. keep up the great content
Thank you so much Rhonda.
@@robbiefishing no problem my name is not rhonda its her grandson lol
Great vid mate! Also you should do a video on your fishing gear and rod setups
Love the catch and cook vid, be nice to see you cook on the banks of the river too, preferably over a fire. I also agree about the butter, use 100% Aussie or NZ butter, very healthy, margarine is full of man made trans fat and is nothing more than a heart attack in a tub. Personally I use half xtra virgin olive oil, half butter for cooking my fish, the butter doesn’t burn that way. Cheers for sharing 👍🏼
I used to drive my truck past an oil refinery near Alexandria, Sydney. One day I read the sign on the gate. Meadow....
thanks for that robbie and thanks to your dad as well. i have seen them use a pair of tweezers to get the pin bones out. cheers
Thanks mate, and what a great tip. Thank you.
Great video again. Now I just need to catch one instead of catching carp all the time.
I just had to laugh, the first time you took one home in ages, to film a catch and cook, and you burn it ahahaha! Keep up the good work Robbie, love your channel.
Hahaha thanks mate. I burn everything. LOL I'm happy to admit that cooking isn't a strength of mine. 🤣🤣👍
Lol you destroyed your pan with that butter knife.
Fillets looks 5 star
😋
Your Dad knows how to fillet a fish 👌
Since you posted this on FB, I have been eagerly awaiting it. Ta Robbie ;)
haha Thanks mate. I hope you enjoyed the video.
Makes me hungry!
Great video Robbie. Neve had the opportunity to taste Cod and with the restrictions in SA, I may have to wait until my next visit to VIC. ✌️🙂
Thanks Tubby. Yeah I noticed those rule changes A step in the wrong direction I think. There's only 1 level of protection left...
The way your Dad filleted that cod is how do them as well Robbie and they make a great feed .
Ripper video mate! I’ve never had cod before but it does look good
Thanks champ. It sure is very nice.
I like what your dad said never feel guilty of taking one to eat when you get the chance
Thanks mate, and so do I. There's so many precious people on the internet these days that they make us feel a bit scared to be proud of our catches.
A fish like that Beautiful in the morning for Breakfast ♥️❤️
Magnificent way to start the day.
That looks good mate good vid mate
Thanks so much buddy.
Best Cod i ever ate was having it cold the next day, never have been a fan of eating cold fish of any kind but this was different, i had it at work for lunch and thought to myself, WHY DON'T I EAT IT THIS WAY ALL THE TIME ?
It was off a 74cm cod (PB at the time) and it was fantastic.
With filleting & skinning it is the best way to go for a good clean feed.
Your father gave a good demo on how it's done Rob.
Thanks so much Wally. He done a great job, thaysbwhy I got him to do it. I can fillet cod, but nowhere near as effectively or efficiently as dad can.
Try curry flavour. This cold Cod is an old country recipe.
Love the slippers !
We have crumbed rockling for Xmas eve dinner each year
Try rubbing in a light sprinkle of vegata before coating in flour
Gives it a little more flavour
Thanks mate, that sounds delicious.
Add a splash of oil to the butter to raise the smoke temperature.
Hi mate thanks for the great tip.
nice 1 robbie .
So the trick to filleting Murray Cod is get someone else to do it! FANTASTIC! 😂
Enjoy the feed once in a blue moon isn’t a problem and they are worth the wait, Delicious!
hahaha Thanks mate. Yep, that is by far the easiest way to fillet cod. LOL
Awesome job mate
That’s my favourite way of cooking fish 👌🏿👍🏿😂
Better than the fish from the local fish and chip shop 😂
Thanks so much mate. And I agree.
I use a very similar method for filleting fish i normally leave the head on though and i find that if you don't remove the first side fully until after you have done the second side it really makes things easier that's just what i do
Thanks mate. Dad prefers the head on too, but I had already removed it before it took it over to his place. haha
@@robbiefishing i pretty much do fish the same way (saltwater fish) and it depends on the fish to me on weather i take the head off or not, a big head on a fish and i will remove it and the reason being is because the head makes the fish uneven when doing the second side if its too big, yeah you can leave the first fillet on but on some softer fleshed fish you end up mushing it up a little, if you remove the head when you do the second side its just the spine laying flat on the filleting table/chopping board and it becomes much easier.
those wings (where the fins are) are honestly the best part of a fish and also on larger fish i keep the skeleton as well, cook it on the barbie and eat the meat from the bone, when you add it up, fillet/wings/skeleton/cheeks if they are big enough there is actually very little waste on a fish that size.
Ripper video! Looked nice!
Thanks Les, it sure was amazing!
Great cod looks so good
Thanks mate. It sure was amazing.
I just made these with my dad with out first cod the recipe is great but they taste better as leftovers on a school night😂😂
Love it mate just love it well done to your dad saying what he said old school fella. Hope the cod tasted beautiful
Thanks so much buddy. It was absolutely amazing.
Robbie you have Fred Flintstone PJ on buddy. LOL good cook up mate.
Hahaha someone else Said that too. It cracked me up. Haha
I went fishin at yeppon a while back and we caught heaps of nannygai and grass sweetlip but nothin compares to a good fillet of murray cod
my dad told me a story that back in the day his grandfather caught a 110lbs cod in the Dumaresq river just outside of texas
If you put a dash of oil in with the butter it helps to stop the butter burning. Love you vids
Thanks so much for the great tip mate.
Looks bloody lovely Robbie 👍🏼
Think I would prefer the beer batter though your dad knows what it's about
As always keep up the great work Robbie
Tight lines mate 🎣
Hopefully lunch didn't stay in the pan to long 😅
@@bushfishncook2128 haha Thanks mate. I am keen to try it my old mans way. LOL mate, I wasn't distracted cooking lunch. haha
@@robbiefishing no drama at all mate always enjoy an episode of Robbie fishing 🎣 or cooking or gardening hahaha
Good to hear lunch probably went a little better 👍🏼
Maybe in another 10yrs when you bring one home again you can try the beer batter hahaha
Catch you around mate 👍🏼
1:10 That strike was massive. Strong fish
They sure are a strong fish mate. Very powerful.
hey robbie good job coming from yet another chef 20 years+ i like to add capers to the butter and garlic /chopped parsley and some sea salt maybe a pinch paprika! anyway just a tip to try it out one day! great show buddy! im sure it still tastes amazing! looks soo good! :P
Thanks mate, sounds like a great idea.
That's the first time the eyeometre has ever been out... good catch bro
Haha thanks buddy. It was under too.... another first. LOL
@@robbiefishing haha 😄
I coat in flour then egg then crumbs. Fry in a few cm of oil. A couple minutes each side and they come out beautiful! 👌
Thanks Larry, sounds delicious mate.
Good job on the catch mate I'm yet to get my first cod but hope one day I will
And the way I learnt to fillet fish we keep the head on and leave the skin
And have you ever had squid before?
Trying “Kook-A-krumb” lemon pepper on a fresh caught cod from this morning. Will try some Aldi when I get into the big smoke next…
Codilicious! BEST way to fry crumbed fish, don't use butter! Use a good oil like olive or peanut! ADD some butter to the oil for flavour! & put a lid on the for 1st few mins to even the cook out!
Thanks Robbie. I just relived that time decades ago. But in mine, the lure came flying back at me. Crappy thin standard hooks. Oh well, live and learn. p.s You didn't show the round worm.
We’ll done Robstar. Beautifully filleted by your dad. The only thing different I do though is not cut the bit off at the back of the tail. I leave it connected to the fish and turn it over flat on the board and run the knife flat to remove the skin. It makes it easier to hold on to. Each to their own eh.
Thanks Peter. What an excellent idea, thanks for the tip.
Good morning rob ...
Excellent, tell dad he's got nothing to worry about regarding his knife skills and that beer batter has me shaking with excitement lol... DE_lush=US....😛
Mate an all round top presentation ...
Mate in reply to previous...
No I'm not into cricket, frankly you can keep our lot for yabbie bait 🤣...
I'm a ruby fan and aussie rules football, hunting of any sorts and food prep and foraging lol....keeps me out of trouble lol...
Rob many thanks to you and dad ...best regards to to all..
😎🇬🇧
hahahahaha Yabby bait. haha that cracked me up. LOL Thanks so much mate. The poor buggers really are struggling. LOL
@@robbiefishing 😁
😎🇬🇧
Nice video (as always) Robbie. If you haven’t tried ‘em, gotta give panko bread crumbs a try (type, not a brand) - I can never go back now! PS. A dash of olive oil with the butter will stop it from burning.
Thanks so much mate. A few people have suggested to use those crumbs but I keep forgetting. LOL
Such a delicious fish,
It’s amazing how far our fisheries have come and where they’re going. License fees and great management has resulted in seeing healthier native fish populations build over many years. The ability to sustainably harvest the occasional fish is a just reward for looking after our waterways properly for many years. They’re a beautiful uniquely Australian fish and the ability to eat one on occasion is something I think should be enjoyed without too much guilt.
Jay, you've got that completely wrong. The demands of irrigators and farmers stuff the river systems and our response? Stocking. Well, get up here on Lake Eildon and see all the mud flowing in from all the tributaries. Delatite, any one of them. Compare that to the Murray River, a little higher because of the capacity of storages like Dartmouth and Hume. So here, the Fisheries have stocked trout, maybe 10,000 each month this winter. Good cod and redfin food. The rivers, now closed, are unfishable anyway. As for the stocking, come jump in my boat and imagine how far those stockings of trout go in a pond 6 times larger than Sydney harbour. Stockings? What a joke.
Looking good Robbie, but now I have an urge for a pale ale ... or two. Is it the fishing or the cooking that does that??? Great to see your dad on screen, should get him to tell some "Robbie growing up" stories 🙂 Tom's been gazing wistfully at the cod lures ... cheers mate PP & T
haha Thanks PP. I'm sure dad would have a story or two to tell. hahaha
on ya
The last 10 seconds of the video had me dying with laughter! I needed that! Silly wins me over every time!
hahaha Thanks mate, I am glad that I could make you laugh.
Yep! I know what you were doing during the break.
No wonder the fish tastes "fishy"
LOL
Best cod I ever ate was from the Buffalo River, above the ovens junction. I had a butcher on Greta road cut it into steaks, cut thru the spine, bones came out easy once cooked over a wood barbecue. Everyone loved it. It was 85cm and 16 lb.
I bet it tasted beautiful mate. How long ago was that? It could have been Ducky Donald, or Bob Dewer.
@@robbiefishing It was about 25 years ago.
I forget the name of the butcher. Good bloke. The shop out towards the church. A milk bar used to be near it.
@@MrChrismaguire Yep I know the shop well mate. Been going there for over 40 years. It recently shut down as a butcher and is not a popcorn and lolly shop.
@@robbiefishing sad to see good butchers shut up shop. That butcher had good meat. Better than most of the stuff in supermarkets. I tell you, I used to throw a canoe in up at the last bridge before Buffalo dam and drift to Everton in a day. Great trip, and there are some big cod up there, maccas, blackish, trout, carp and reddies. Great adventure.
great job robbie i would love if u did more catch and cooks cause there AMAZING u dont have to know and GREAT JOB!!!!!!
Hi Lachie thank you so much mate, I truly appreciate your kind feedback.
Dont remember last time I cooked cod, been several years, dont even remember the taste... just redfin are so abundant (in lakes, cant find any in the river here) perhaps next time in the river and get a legal one might give it a crack, that looked good.
Thanks so much mate. I love a good feed of redfin too.
Great Video Robbie, your dad does such a good job looks amazingly tasty
Awesome! As always. 🙏
Thank you so much Carlton.
hi Robbie, try to coat he fish in flour first. The egg will then better stick to the fillet! :) also - Italian pickiness - never mix dairy products with fish! a good oil would our weapon of choice.
Awesome!!!! 😁😁 I've never cooked my fish like that, gotta try it!! Your dad is awesome at filleting!! Looks bloody good!! Well done 😎🎣😁👍🍻
Egg and breadcrumb is the bomb can't beat it 🤤
@@chriscoyne4827 defs gotta try it then. I usually foil bake mine in the oven. Lemon pepper plus half lemon slices placed on top. Put butter on the foil beneath so it doesn't stick. Comes out bloody beautiful!
Thanks so much mate. He sure is a guru!
