Fingermark is the best. The cooking is the secret to all fish. Very hot pan or grill and lightly seasoned. Lemon and dill is great.
They are good tucker alright.
These days,though,they get the kiss and release treatment from me.
As for those who believe coral trout is overated....well it's a delicate flesh and care is needed when cooking but when done right it should just about melt in your mouth....mmmm... yummm
Of the other commonly caught fish,a piece of battered Spanish mac is right up there with the best.

I reckon you gotta go a long way to beat parrot. I just cooked some up last night that was in the freezer and it was still as good as the day I caught it.

I reckon you cant go past a bit of really fresh tailor, straight from the water to the fire![]()
Spaniard is great in a curry or marinara, as it holds its shape really well, but I wouldn't dream of eating it 'neat' when there's fingermark and nannies in the freezer! I guess we're all divided as to whether we like stronger flavoured flesh or a sweeter, more delicate flavoured fish.

Pearl Perch simmered in milk, cast in shallots , parsley, chop up tomatoes, soon as the flesh goes white, serve up, yummie.
Coral Trout goes well same way.
Go small on ingredients
Getting hungry see yar
Cheers Ged.
Pearlies are number one for me. I also rate Coral Trout and Parrot/Tuskies, Flathead and Whiting right up there. It been so long since I have eaten Red Emperor that its a bit vauge but I liked it at the time

Most succulent and flavoursome fish I have eaten is Scorpion Rock Cod, favorite fish to eat is whiting.
Both are right up there with dolphin burgers too heheh.

My best is red throat sweetlip, then whiting. Coral trout are excellent if cooked correctly. Polky.
Whiting, dusted and a bit of salt or anything else raw!!!!![]()

i agree with disordely, barra cod are are at the top, maroi wrase are splendid as well, while were on protected speices, best ive eaten was a chinaman about 4 or 5 kilo, it was out of this world. as far as fish you can keep, trout or a fresh slab of spanish for me, would put a horn on a jelly fish. i got some nice grunter at lucinda last year they were pretty good for a creek fish.
for those who have fished real wide, and have caught a japanese sea bream, they are up there with chinaman. they look like a real big iodine bream, but are wickid on the plate.
hey fish n dive, you like raw, next trout you drag over the rail, fillet it ice it down, then slice it like susshimi, squeze a lime over it, and enjoy. the cheeks are the best but needs to be a good fish.
give it a go, it will impress.
