I know the best method to find out what these things taste like would be just to eat one or two.....but in the meantime thought i would get an idea of others opinions from here. According to my research they are ok and eaten a lot in britain and europe.
Down south here they are very prevalent at the moment so would be a real easy way to get a feed with just a landing net even.
Whats the answer......and suggestions for preparation and even cooking method.
cheers

I think they would be ok. Tope are. I filleted one recently and it looked good and wasn't too smelly. My dogs loved it.

look at those spinys.... every fish has a place in the ocean.... but i'm not unhappy those spinys in that net... they are a pain pain pain. When one got my forearm the scar took years to go away., every time i had a bath or shower the red line came back.. Bloody spinys.....

freeze them for a couple days first this stops em falling to bots when cooked,cut red meat off it tastes strong.put your foot on its head when skinning.

flour,egg,breadcrums n fry em up.rig are nicer to eat.
