Yip Terakihi, John Dory and Gurnard are my favourites. Snapper is nice too. I like catching a good mix of species.

NZ kahawai taste like a completely different fish to the Australian salmon. They look identical but the sambo's taste like a chinese oil trap. Kahawai on the other hand have a light oil in em that lends itself to BBQ cooking. If you behead them, eviscerate and get em on ice fast then i gotta say they can be better than snapper ( as long as some clown hasn't hit them mid-side with a pranger head handspear HAHA.

I have had bad luck bad luck near big schools of sambo's - seen a big tiger following them really slowly. I reckon he was just eating them as they died. I kinda lost interest when he showed up
