Apologies aside, your standards are dropping. Have you started drinking Waikato as well ??

Kahawai curry for us last night. We don't normally eat it*, but I found a fillet in the freezer. It took a bit of head scratching to work out how it ended up there, then I remembered my dirty bait fishing mate caught it. It was gut hooked and bleeding out. I hate waste, so brought it home and filleted it. It was pretty good in the curry.




*Please don't say it's all about preparation. All my fish are ikied, bled and iced straightaway, then vacuum packed if not eaten fresh. We're just not keen on it. It's good smoked, but billy goat testicles are probably good smoked! Besides, I can usually catch snapper to order!

I wish I knew a way to cook Kahawai that was good every time. They don't freeze well and cooked some fish are great and others are terrible caught the same day. The only way I like all of them is raw with wasabi and soya.

Exactly the same way @GWH did his rabbit. Thicken sauce part a bit first add Fish cook till tender (not too long)
I prefer the fish steaked and just a very quick sear to colour it before adding to the sauce. But I know some are not keen on dealing with the bones.

Thanks for your answer @spada, after I posted the question, a feeling of the most remorseful sickening dread came over me as I realised the implications - that Dundee could, and may yet post a photo of a Kahawai stranded and beached in a shallow sea of Watties

Got in for the first swim in ages and plucked a couple crays. Some big bastards around, left most alone but took this fulla and a couple mates. Some good numbers around which was great to see with the reduced quota. Biggest was 2.3kg. Pretty good size for a North island cray.

Got a couple meals of him, crayfish scrambled eggs, Maine style lobster rolls and a creamy tail pasta with homemade garlic bread. Bloody ideal

I still haven't replaced all my gear.
Plan to do it this summer.
Haven't had a feed of cray for ages.

Crayfish scrambled eggs... I'm drooling...

I grew up eating crays, as grandad was a pro Fisher. I never thought of them as being a luxury item until I was about 25. Even now, I'll still go for the big legs over the tail, but still like the tail..

But crab or cray, and egg - the perfect mix for breakfast lunch or dinner. Or snack. With a sprinkle of chilli......

Yeah bit of a pain in the arse to pick but heaps of meat in the legs and knuckles of a cray that size, way more tender than the tail

The pain in arse moment is dependant on the size of the cray.....

All for me.... my two accidentally defrosted goat legs
Little overdone for my liking but checked it 20mins ago and was still bleating... servea me right for turning the oven up. Thankfully not dried out, no need for veges when there is this much to get through
