ensure that you remove the black pouch or inner gut lineing then soak or marinate the fillets in Olive oil with chopped parsley and seasonig. Make a good beer batter, then deep fry them. Al ot of fish shops and restaurants use this as they are a by catch for the commercial guys. Ps They are a vegatairian type fish, and need alittle added flavour.
Cheers

Apparently Parore can be dry if cooked conventionally (whatever that means). the only way I have used them is when the kids caught them and demanded to eat them. I filleted the ones we had (quite big fish) and made them into fish cakes using a few herbs. Turned out very well for what I have allways been told is "sh*t" fish, so what Yammieski, says, may be quite true, they may just need that little bit of xtra flavour!
But now the kids are older and own boats that I will never be able to afford, I guess that they will probably never eat them again! When there are such fish as snapper, gurnard, J.D. Trevally etc to be had. But I still remember the fish cakes that were'nt bad at all!
It is to be observed that 'angling' is the name given to fishing, by people who can't fish.

yes. The kids and i eat them.Grew up as a kid eating them,fried in butter are quite tasty.Some will violently disagree but then i find kingfish ultra bland.
If you think you are too small to make a difference,try sleeping with a mosquito in your tent.

I knew a lad who used to spear these .. hack off the side, hack off the belly (with the black lining), stick em in a bag, pick them on ice and then take them home to feed to his mother who couldn't tell the difference between it and snapper!!  serious !

The Aussies love these things,they take a small chilly bin with salt ice and about half a cup of milk in it ,upon capture the fish are bled immediatly, then filleted skin left on ,and black gut lining cut out then chucked into the esky seem to taste alright after that fried.

Popular in Aus as lemmy said. Also called Luderick. I've eaten them fresh and they tasted fine. Texture's a liitle coarse though I thought.
