To me they are up there among the top eating Fish ;). Filleted and bread crumbed or in batter, Gilled , gutted and grilled, or wrapped in foil and in the webber they are finger lickin good.
They is a top fish fer sure.

Thanks Volvo,

I must agree with you.......................yummy fish all right!

Filleted are exellent and baked whole was also great. I will try with breadcrumbs.

Nice to catch, good little fighters , good looking fish and very tasty.
Cheers. I hope they stay around a little longer as the water up here in Townsville is starting to warm up.

cheers

GRUNTERS ARE GREAT EATING, CATCH HEAPS OUT AT BEAVER ROCK AND AROUND RIVER HEADS. I ALWAYS SIMPLY SPRINKLE THE FILLETS WITH LEMON PEPPER AND SALT, DUST WITH FLOUR AND THEN INTO A HOT OILED PAN AND SHALLOW FRY TILL CRISP AND BROWNED. SERVE THAT WITH CHIPS AND SALAD AND LEMON WEDGES.... YUMMMMMO!
