.
Just a tip, for any occy recipe freezing them is better all round for a few days or weeks before cooking or doing anything with them.
Unsure why, maybe it relaxes them a bit
Give a man a mask, and he'll show you his true face...
The older you get the more you realize that no one has a f++king clue what they're doing.
Everyone's just winging it.

Sometimes I hit spots where
Sometimes I hit spots where all you get is 100mm long flatties , maybe 5 flatties to every whiting. But I've seen the whiting up at Seabird there they are a nice size. Love fishing for tailor up at Seabird off the reefs up there.

Occy
I freeze then semi thaw until its just pliable then give it a bit of massage then refreeze , next day in the pot it goes.
The work out you give it releases all the tension still in the tentacles and the extra freeze tops it off, comes out very tender.
Bring to the boil then simmer for 15 or so minutes then cut into bite size pieces and into jars with a good quality brown vinegar
