Definitely a fun day on the water! A few fish for the table is just a bonus.

What's the best way to cook salmon guys?
The only salmon I'll eat are those that are prepped correctly. Firstly they need to be bled upon capture. Then filleted and skinned. Remove the rib bones and any excess bloodlines. Then lathered in flour and cooked in a pan or on the bbq with plenty of oil. Much of the crappy taste with salmon comes from the blood and skin, similar with snapper. Give it a try one day and you may be surprised.
Do you bleed your snapper?

To add to snapper i always bleed as it hits the floor especially fish over 2kg they seem to hold a bit of blood
Then fillet and skin but never wash in fresh water
Taste is totally different treated this way and freezes much better

Yes mate, snapper I do. It certainly helps, along with skinning the fillets. Try it one day and see for yourself mate as a comparison. It really does make a big difference I believe. I've never turned back since prepping nearly all fish in this way, freshwater or saltwater fish ;)

Yes! Very very important....Saltwater fish should NEVER be washed in freshwater, unless you want a tasteless mushy mess. It's an unwritten law I reckon!

For those who enjoy a feed, you are doing yourself an evil injustice by not prepping your seafood platter in the best way possible. A little effort goes a long way.

I had the Salmon and it was actually really nice.. I was surprised. Better than snapper. I rinsed both under the tap too (fresh water)

I think you guys buy into old wives tails a little too much tbh

Edit: tales* ...tails lol

Kimtown I think your targeting the wrong areas at that stage of the season mate. If your looking for big red that is. Stay woke and best of luck to all our fishing today.
