    Amberjack or Samson?

    My first thought when I caught it was amberjack but I had never seen one in the flesh before so I consulted Grants Guide To Fishes which I am sure showed it closer to looking like a Samson fish. I know a lot of reports say they catch Amberjack in my area so I am leaning the other way again now.

    Thanks for the replies fellas. I haven't eaten it yet. The fillets were a darker colour so they don't look as though they would be too good.

    ...Hey Al_Macka ! You been eating over at my place again!
    lol Yep ! Just the way I like it as well. ... Or try Thai curry style,similar to what it called Panang Curry in the Thai restaurant. It is hot,but easy way to make it is to buy a bottle of "Tilda Royal Korma" simmer sauce and add a spoon of chicken powder... [smiley=2thumbsup.gif] [smiley=2thumbsup.gif]
