Wrasse

Thread Status: Hello , There was no answer in this thread for more than 60 days.
It can take a long time to get an up-to-date response or contact with relevant users.
X , I tell ya lobster gets a LOT of favours. Most notably a flight on the jump seat of a Dornier 328 to Dundee and then on to Oslo Norway last year. It was great! ....."V1 Rotate" neeeeeeeeeeooooooooooooow!!!!!

Love the recipe on that site for them partons Dave . Going to try that for sure with wine and oysters.I mostly make soup and sandwhiches. Funny thing the market, the shops up here all stock the Canadian lobster of barely legal size. One of the fellas I work with, his brother is a lobster potter from Johnshaven down the road. He sells all his lobster to the local lobster magnate who stores them in a loch. Every year a team of about 4 drain the loch and count the lobster....Approx 78 000 !!!

Honey , leave the kids to fend for themseves, were off down South for bass.rofl

Just read in todays P&J paper that the salmon farmers plan to breed Ballan Wrasse to combat the sea lice that plague the salmon cages. Its says Noway is already doing this.
 
we dig real big sea lice here, like the size of shrimps, from the breakers. they are dynamite bait for Bass, Flounder, grouper etc.

Closest thing that reminds me of Wrasse is Pollock / dab.
Little flavour.
Meat looks good , and fillets off large fish are substantial portions.
Scaling takes a bit more effort than the round fish like Mullet and Bass.

I imagine if cooked in the correct way with some strong flavours they make a satisfying meal.

I have only taken 2 whilst spearing for interest. I'm generally seeking out Bass (with little success this season! :head). I often observe them in pairs hanging out by a cave. Almost as playful as the seals!
