Rybak 620 Posted December 24, 2018 Report Share Posted December 24, 2018 All good, but get someone else to do the cleaning....problem solvered. . No need to scale fish over 3kg. Just skin or cook with scales on as they come off simple as with the skin & keep the moisture in. . jackmac, Squid Inc., dmck and 2 others 5 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Forums an awesome crust which doesn't overpower the fish itself. Best I had was a smaller fillet from a ~ 40cm fish into butter just before it'd burn, and wow, perfect.

bjorn2fish 4,610 Posted December 25, 2018 Report Share Posted December 25, 2018 I'm definitely a skinner. Haven't caught a decent sized fish for a while though. yellow door 1 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
yellow door 1 1,786 Posted December 26, 2018 Author Report Share Posted December 26, 2018 I just went down to have a scaling comp between the store bought and the diy bottle top version Both were good but the store bought version wins by a nose - I think it was due to the pulling action used with the red tool Quote Link to post Share on other sites

They do work really well & decent quality. Great on Mulloway & Snapper. But like I said, I usually skin the larger fish with scales on or cook on BBQ with scales on & then just peel the skin off with the scales. Just like different gadgets to play with now & then!!!.

yellow door 1 1,786 Posted January 26, 2019 Author Report Share Posted January 26, 2019 Yeah with the Jewies I tend to fillet on the spot - skin when I get home - and freeze what I cant use in the next couple of days. But I only kill the odd one that doesnt swim off after attempts to revive - the Yarra isnt the most pristine river to eat apex predators from But if they are going to die - they dont go to waste - they still taste great but the Government suggests you only eat a max of 400g of fish from Melbourne rivers a week.

Serious mulloway, what's the legal size there? I'm not a big freezer of fish but when I do, I try to vacuum seal it where possible. How well does it keep like that?

yellow door 1 1,786 Posted January 27, 2019 Author Report Share Posted January 27, 2019 Yeah I'm not really set up for keeping large quantities of fish - it holds up ok in the freezer bags but I tend to give away excess on the odd occasion I have to keep a big fella. So it gets used pretty quick (its only happened twice when I couldnt revive the fish) The one in the photo was 1m long on the dot - but legal size is 60cm and you can keep 5 of them in Vic AquaticResearch1 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
