Aloha DB,
I just saw this thread. Hi Pastor, Bill would have been correct. I'm an an old fart and just use old pictures to make me look younger! I wish.... Parrot fish are our main food fare here in Hawaii. They range in size depending on species from 1-18 lbs which is the world record for parrot fish called ember parrotfish. I have shot parrot fish in Trinidad that was up to 38 lbs. Other parts of the world they can range into the three digit number. Parrot fish here are very tasty with a firm white meat. They can be eaten steamed, on the barbie and deepfried with a sweet and sour sauce over it. That is how we like to eat it when we go to a chinese restaurant. I've been to Florida and they have huge parrotfish but are restricted from being harvested. But with all the other great tasting fish they have there its not missed. Here we don't have the groupers, hogfish. cobia and all the different snappers. Instead we have many tropical fish and the few blue aer fish that come near shore. If it is legal to spear parrot fish in your locality, then I would highly reccomend trying one. They are best cleaned, filleted and steamed or filleted breaded and deep fried with a lemon or sweet sour sauce drizzled over it. Because they are food fare, they are pretty tough to hunt. It takes some patience and perseverence. You are always welcome to visit here and hunt them. If you can shoot fish in Hawaii, you can spear anywhere. Our fish are skittish and they all have double PHD's! Aloha,Daryl Last edited by Daryl Wong; February 23rd, 2008 at 07:54.

Don't say that Daryl, you must only be a couple of years older than me and I haven't even approached my prime yet
 I've been lucky enough to try fresh Parrot fish twice to my knowledge; once grilled and once deepfried with sweet and sour sauce. It is kind of like a cross between European sea Bass and Tuna, very tasty, shame we don't have them here too.
