Superb fish, but perhaps better suited to curries and stir fries. BN firmer like dorado - also highly rated. Hard to beat a puka, though the humble snapper comes close. Or cod, or pink maomao, or JD, or...

If you get a smaller one treat it like a flounder. Sounds from above that you already may.

Kippers for breakfast then MB.  I'd rather eat porridge. 

Alan L you are fortunate, my bluenose (known as blue-eye trevalla over here) area was 67kms from the ramp.

Waynorth - kippers, perhaps not to everybody's taste.  20+ years ago when I was working in outback WA the catering contractor feeding the 2,000+ construction workers would on occasions serve kippers as a breakfast option.  I'd take a few as part of my crib lunch.  A quick zap to heat in the microwave and into a fresh bread sandwich, magic.

I think this is a common problem that people have with larger fish and somewhat explains why big snapper have a reputation for poor eating. Once upon a time, I expected good results from tossing a great big thick fillet in a pan. Inevitably, it was underwhelming, either overcooked on the outside or undercooked on the inside. These days, I cut big fillets across the grain to the desired thickness.

I must try the skin on  thing .
