Thread: Jack Mackeral for eating

A mate recently gave me a different mix of crumbs to try - 50% coconut and 50% panko crumbs. Anything like cream, coconut cream, mayo or aoli would do to get the crumbs to stick.

I have eaten raw paua and found it tasty but I just cant handle real sashimi.

Im glad to here that, not up on the species genetics but know that the prawns you get from supermarkets etc bout the size of your thumbnail taste nothing like cray scampi or koura.
Mum puts prawns in one of her salads. I can't eat it.

Are you talking about prawns or shrimps VC?. I reckon prawns on the BBQ are great but only if you can get some sheila to peel them and dip them in garlic butter for you .

Other way I think. Scampi are defo a prawn, whereas Sauri are a small sardine like fish.
A mate bought as few Blue macks home from a longliner trip a while ago, as I had been telling him how mackerel are widely eaten in Europe. He smoked them up and reckoned they were on of the best tasting smoked fish he ever had.

Yea a good scampi is around 200-250mm long all up and the tail is about as thick as your thumb if your a ham fisted barstard

Had em fresh of the pound belt for breakfast for years, into a cup tail first fill from the zip wait a min tip out and refill wait a min break body's off and eat tail meat

Like crayfish but much sweeter and more tender

Yep, spent more of my life on the rise than I care to remember

I said "a good" and stand by that statement

So similar to Koura? How would i go about catching me some Skampi?

Work on a scampi or hoki trawler?

I know divers that have seen them on the worm beds by Karewa it would be a matter of hit and miss to find them. but a scallop dredge might be just as good if you had a 2" mesh drag bag.
