Hey all, I see heaps of banded wrasse in the water whenever I go for a dive around Welly, some of them are huge, 2-3Kgs. Am just wondering does anyone actually target these fish and are they decent tasting? I'd gladly try out any recipes. Cheers

I have eaten one, the flesh is fine to eat but they can be boney. I doubt anyone targets them.
