I don't find them all that good eating wise.

Sure you can eat them and they do taste ok but I certainly don't understand what all the fuss is.

yeah it is an acquired taste.. Being a Cook Islander my parents love them but honestly i never acquired the taste for them lol too much like fishy flavoured bubble gum for me :) having said that i can eat muscles all day!

Went diving today for some Christmas abs very poor there were plenty of them all under size after 2 hrs of diving only managed 4 size and I mean just size then a bus load of people from one of our northern country's turned up and were well under the 2 meter mark they could still stand up started collecting the bay is under too much pressure maby a total ban might be needed for a few year's to let them recover.

Whilst that may be a good idea, there are some who will totally ignore the ban and take what they want.

Saw over a thousand yesterday, down in Lorne.

Hundreds of crays too but not as many big ones as I was hoping for.

Good dive overall though
