i know that parrot fish are good eating. however im not sure if they can be caught in the south west mate. r u sure they were parrot fish? u got a photo of them?
the lightish red wrasse looks like the male parrot fish very close if you have a look in the complete fishing bible book page 82you will see what i mean
best dhufish bait out there!! a nice big red fillet and if theres a dhu around you have a pretty good chance of hookin in. the good thing with wrasse is that they are tuff and stay on the hook.

Live
When used as live bait for dhuies they are nearly unbeatable,the bigger the better.
Not too bad on the tooth either
