Local Whiting
Submitted by Kevin on Mon, 2009-11-09 20:25
Went down to City Beach the other night managed a nice feed of good sized whiting not much else was on the bite saw a few herring caught and a descent flattie.
Went back a few nights later with some big gear put a nice 25cm whiting out for bait hoping for a noah only to lock horns with a bonnet sized ray for the better part of an hour I think I will stick with light gear I dont like being reminded of my less than average fitness especialy by a fish.

I've never actually eaten
I've never actually eaten the old sand whiting before in all my years, I just always had something against them... maybe because I prefered to target king george whiting and thought of them as an unwanted bycatch. They do look inviting to the plate tho... great size those ones! how do they go?

some nice size whiting,they are nice eating when you get them big enough, i just fillet , dust in flour and cook them in a bit of butter, the few small bones that are left go crispy and you dont even notice them

There where a few as long as the knife but we had already cut the heads off so i left them out of the pic. They certainly gave us a nice fillet (for whiting that is) we had them pan fried just with flour,salt and pepper and had the last of our Swan River King Prawns kindly supplied by my brotherinlaw mmm mmmh.

Nice whiting. Our boys
Nice whiting. Our boys like to catch them too. They taste great cooked up fresh. We usually cook them with a bit of squid as well so there is enough for all four of us.
