Yum for sure. I think what has some confused is the mouth shape in this picture. John Dory stalk their target, and then has this massive mouth that opens up like a cavern and suck the taget in.
This one has been hooked in a way that when held up it appears to have a very long snout. This is the massive gob extended.
Loved catching them as a youngster when we lived in NZ for a couple of years. Best or near on the plate.

If you head out east of Cape Naturaliste about 4nm on the flat rubbley ground you can catch heaps of them

Top JD there young fella
One of the best quality fish in the ocean to eat imo. I wish they were more readily caught in metro waters.

Never caught one. Looks like a pretty cool fish though. Not sure if I've even eaten one.......
The best reason for doing what's right today is tomorrow.
