Brad takes credit for the cooking....roll the loin in spices....eg mixed herb, parsley, brown sugar, salt n pepper, sweet chilli sauce and straight in to a hot pan for a couple of minutes .....just melts in your mouth.

for those out there that cant stomach sashimi'd kingi this is a MUST try.....takes the edge off beautifully

Nice one Edan, that harbour is fantastic. When I was a youngster thats where I caught my first Kingfish off the wharf. Back then the Kingfish fishing off the wharf could be spectacular. Spent many days there...that sushi rear Kingfish looks the go mate, will give it a try.
