please help identify the fish

Hi guys,

Please help identify the fish. I caught it on Saturday in Pittwater Sydney, at about 8 meter depth. It's about 45 cm long. I would like to eat it but it would be nice to know what I am eating.

Grinner - full of bones, spend more time picking them out than eating.

That's it. Thanks, mate. I will cook it anyway because it was the only fish besides a yellowtail that I caught on that day

My advice is to go down to the local IGA and get yourself a bag of “Birdseye” fish fingers from the frozen section. Bloody better option in my most humblest opinion.😁👍

Geez, I thought I was the Grinner champ, but 45 cm beats me.
Still wouldn't eat one tho.

Was it already dead in the fridge before you asked

just because your going fishing doesn’t mean you eat what ever you catch lol
As above would rather fish fingers

Last year on a reef that previously was good for snapper and tuskies had the biggest grinners I have ever seen, 45cm were the small ones. There's a thought that they move in when their predators disappear.

I ate the grinner for the sake of exploration. There were plenty of thin soft bones as you said. However, in the tail half of the fish I could extract decent chunks of fillet without bones. The reason why I will not take this fish again is not the bones but the meat is too dry to my taste.
