What is your favorite local fish to eat?

Have to agree with you about blue claw crabs. I absolutely love their taste, better than any of the aforementioned fish. However, I absolutely hate cleaning them and when they do latch onto one of my Gulp "baits" I dislodge them as soon as I can and go back to fishing. Of course since 90% of my fishing is done from a yak there is also something about those claws being that close to one's johnson.

Yes, they can be annoying but love what they do to a red sauce.

I find cleaning them easy and almost fun since I think i do it so well
I take my time with them since I know what they are going to do to that sauce.
Then I top the sauce over some pasta and eat an entire huge bowl of those cleaned up crawlers.

Guess I was wrong bout Whole Foods selling Tile Fish at buffet.. HOKI fish appears to be a legitimate deep water fish off New Zealand.. no wonder why it had a hint of lobster ?… cellfish…

The Importance Of A Healthy Diet For Dogs

We hear it time and time again, particularly when gobbling down chocolate, the age old adage ‘you are what you eat’. Unsurprisingly, the same can be said for our canine companions. A high quality diet is essential for their health and to avoid illness and disease into their twilight years...
