Butters are normally very soft fleshed. Are you sure you hadn't peeved her off recently Reidfish, and she wasn't serving you up part of your favourite wetsuit?

Hi Reidfish, try tangelo instead of orange next time and see what you think. Shouldn't be too overpowering then.]]> Tue, 09 Sep 2003 10:18:54 +0000 https://www.fishing.net.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=2159&PID=20570&title=tough-butterfish#20570 <![CDATA[tough butterfish? : Bushpig, you&#039;re nuts.

Bushpig, you're nuts. They are one of the best fish in the sea.  Most people I feed it to go "wow! I haven't had fish this yummy before!" - because very few are caught by line fishermen and the shops up here rarely get it (quota just issued  in the South of the North I believe).

Was very very fresh (about 6 hours dead) so maybe it just wasn't cooked well enough through?  I guess I'll have to cook the next one instead of letting the missus do it. 

Tried marinating some koheru and butterfish the night before in lemon, garlic, olive oil, and orange, but the orange was a bit overpowering.  Woudl be Ok with kingfish, I guess.

Butterfish/Green bone are considered one of the top eating fish in New Zealand.

Fillets sell at up to 17$ Kg, not far from Terikihi and far above many other types.

Hi Reidfish,

The only way I have cooked them is to wrap them in tin-foil. Put onions, a slice of tomato, salt & pepper, a slice of lemon, any herbs you like, and cook them in the oven or on the BBQ.

Usually come out great.

Cheers

Have to agree Bushie - Reid why are you spearing sea turds?

Wgtn company excepted (they have to spear something apart from Tarakihi - now there is a fine eating fish)

Nice cray though Reid - 1.97kg red - Beauty

BUTTERFISH, you really are a sick bunch. Why the hell would anyone eat them anyway.

Next thing we will find out is spero's eat blind eels as well.
