Probably a bit to do with their diet as well. I'm careful when filleting all fish. If you cut the stomach cavity sometimes the colour/smell puts you off immediately. The texture of the bigger ones can be a bit coarse which may not suit everyone. Anyway sitting down to a whiting steak has always appealed to me...

Came across this six inch Praying Mantis while dead heading the standard roses yesterday, came across three of them during the morning.. Good to see them too as they help clean up the aphids.. cheers Adrian

Nice pic Adrian. Watched a doco on them that was an eye opener. In some cases after mating, while the male is catching his breath, the female turns around, grabs him and chews his head clean off. Nasty girls.......

Great Picture Meppstas Amazing Creatures !!!! SF

They don't bother me, had a smaller one near the front door this morning.. just let it crawl onto my hand then put it on the rose bush.. Pam wouldn't go any where near it though..

I caught some 50 cm kg’s off the reef close to shore past Cape Elizabeth half way to Balgowan a few years back at the beginning of summer and was not happy with the taste. My usual catch is around the 36-44 range and my family of 7 all love and devour them. It’s usually a squabble who gets the most. The day I bought these big ones home everyone was keenly awaiting their dinner. I’m a retired chef and cooked them in my usual way which is just dusted with flour and pan fried in butter. First personto turn their nose up at them was my daughter, quickly followed by the rest of us. They

I can relate to that, but usually after I've said something funny, well I thought so LOL
