What a shocking picture & such bad press for spearfishing in the UK!
That fish doesn't even look dead & cant be more that 2lb!

Wrasse are not a fish you will find on your fishmonger’s slab
Where I live, the wrasses main enemy is the gill netter, wrasse are number one potbait and they are heavily harvested.
Lovely placid creatures, I love to see them, not a fish I choose to hunt.
Wow, you're well prepared! Now that's the way to do spearfishing!They make great Sashimi. The Japanese rate them highly, and who can argue you with the Japanese when it comes to eating raw fish.
Recently I took some Sushi rice, seaweed sheets, soy sauce and wasabi to the beech with me, then went in specifically to catch a Wrasse. By the time I'd got my wetsuit off the misses had sushi rolls and Sashimi waiting for me. As fresh as it gets.
I've been tempted to eat bass raw but not wrasse (until now)
Ceviche is another interesting way to eat "raw" fish (I believe the outside is chemically cooked in the acid of the citrus fruit used). Haven't tried it yet but keen to give it a go.
*i quite like rass although its is a mild flavor, boney and quite small flaky fillets. i just fry the skinned fillets in a bit of butter and finish with a sprinkle of salt. the one thing you MUST do is wash the slime off them as soon as they are dead otherwise it will taint the flesh.
