Micon01 Posted April 4, 2020 Share Posted April 4, 2020 (edited) Can any one help identify this species please? I have caught a few lately and am starting to wonder what they are. EDIT : caught off port kembla. Edit: any good on the plate ? Edited April 4, 2020 by Micon01 Location updated Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kingie chaser Posted April 4, 2020 Share Posted April 4, 2020 (edited) It would help if you give us an approx location where it was caught mate! Looks like some form of rock cod. Edited April 4, 2020 by kingie chaser Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

noelm Posted April 4, 2020 Share Posted April 4, 2020 Common catch, we always called then "footballers" because of the stripes, there is a Yellow and Black striped one too, "Balmain Footballer" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
noelm Posted April 4, 2020 Share Posted April 4, 2020 Just to add, I have never tired eating them, they come under the "ugly fish" species on my boat, and go back in the water. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

New Signing Posted April 5, 2020 Share Posted April 5, 2020 I've never seen one big enough to bother trying to eat. Generally though if its some form of sea perch it should be decent to eat 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And that's dog ugly as well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
