Aussies call 'em Luderick and value them.

And thanks for the tiny crayfish softbait tip.

I shot one in open water once. Gutted, but not filleted straight away which was the mistake I think. Had an iodine-taste. Wife and son didn't notice, but I did. Aussies just love them as you say. If I'm starving, might give it another go.
