Thread: Butterfish andMoki

moki is a bit rubbish but butterfish dipped in flour egg and bread crumbs then pan fried is great
moki are easy to spear but they arnt the best to eat, they dry out a bit. cook them knowing this and they should be ok
butterfish are also called greenbone in some places

spear fishing im guessing?

What he said. Butterfish is just so soft and tasty, I like to shallow fry it in beer batter. Moki should be the one getting cooked in pie or curry etc. Bit firmer and rubbishy but definitely edible.

Put cut up pieces of raw moki and chopped up leaves of cabbage andcut up onion put it all in a jar, leave for three months. really nice. Was given a feed of this one day at Mussel Point, South Wesrlandwhen I was a meat hunter down there years ago

Should have added cover with vinegar
