Hi guys,
The fam and I made it all right to Croatia. I have been snorkling many times now... using old used gear and it's clear I need to get new stuff.
a fishing license for a foreigner is 100 dollars for 30 days. and I'm not prepared to spring for it until I have decent gear to make it worth it. Hopefully be ready in August.
I have a lot to learn about the waters here... and the fish, and regs, all that good stuff.
I spent a lot of time searching today, but couldn't find any English names for these fish... can anyone help me out?
I really want to know the names, and what is good to eat.
I will ask at another forum but as I know you guys have been around the world, figured I'd ask you first.
Thx.
Sea Fish Species in Croatia in Adriatic Sea
(obviously some of them already have the English names on them, but most do not.)
There are a lot more fish than this, but these are the main ones, apparently, that people spear.
I read a greek site that says the red mullet is delicious, while the gray mullet is no good to eat... but on other sites I've seen gray mullet recipes, and I've eaten them before... as long as you are in clean waters, they should be ok, right?
the "Ovrata" looks a LOT like a red mullet only diff. colors- so I'm wondering if it's as good eating, or not... anyone know?
