Yep, definately kingfish lollies Leelay, snapper love them too, especially fished lived down on the bottom. Keep perservering with them as baits, trust me!

Very tasty cooked like they say. Good fun to catch too.... using a line and hooks that is.

I caught my PB trev on a bit of piper bait but that's another story.....

I like to cook my piper the way that Finatic described, except that I don't put the beak into the tail. Also I like to over-fry them so that they are extra crispy and I can crunch through the softer bones and fins/tail. Makes fantastic beer food this way.

Piper=kingfish candy.

Snapper luv 'em too.

Leelay, give them another try rigged on a strayline.

I reckon they work best when the gut has had a knife poked into it.

No need to gut them if you don't want to. When flesh separates from backbone as Finatic/BA have described, scrape gut cavity away from rest of edible meat.

You'll love them. I reckon the flesh is sort of similar to flounder. Really delicate with a nice taste. If I wanted to add any more seasoning to them I'd probably just add a little cayenne pepper or maybe cajun spice to the flour.]]> Tue, 24 Apr 2007 15:52:37 +0000 https://www.fishing.net.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=20307&PID=268946&title=cooking-piper#268946 <![CDATA[cooking piper : Cheers guys, every time we go...]]> https://www.fishing.net.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=20307&PID=268944&title=cooking-piper#268944 Author: Leelay

Cheers guys, every time we go out we have these bloody big ones hanging around the burley trail, so we just scoop em up, as I said tried em for bait and nudda so next time we'll try eating the buggers! Got my oldest son (who dooesn't fish) told him we'd been out catching baby marlin, he looked at them, looked at me, asked why the mouth was wrong way up, then checked by asking are you serious or having me on? was quite funny]]> Tue, 24 Apr 2007 15:47:05 +0000 https://www.fishing.net.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=20307&PID=268944&title=cooking-piper#268944 <![CDATA[cooking piper : Oh yeah, pour liberal amounts...]]> https://www.fishing.net.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=20307&PID=268930&title=cooking-piper#268930 Author: Finatic

I gut them, wash their scales off under the tap, roll a jar or rolling pin over them, cut a hole near the tail, stick the beak through the hole, dust them in some flour seasoned with salt and pepper, throw them in a hot pan and cook for a couple of minutes each side till outside is slightly crispy. Remove from pan, pull beak out of tail and when the straighten they basically fall apart. Squeeze a bit of lemon juice on them. Mmmm yummy!

That's probably the most common way to cook them. You'll need a fair few of them to get a decent feed though.

Holy shyte is that you Derick?

the scales ....use a rag and pull em threw it the scales come right off, other than that Si is bang on the money, well done Derick see watching the show has paid off.
