this has been sitting in the freezer for a bit too long, so as long as it holds together it'll do well in a pie.

But throw some fresh gummy chunks in a marinara whos base sauce is from fresh dug coffin cockles, right at the end to not over cook it & its dynamite...!!

The thin strips are good in a laksa too...nice & filling.

But crumbed fresh...yes...! :thumbsup:

Spot on with the rice observation.

I love a simple grilled flake or even beer battered but over the last 5 years Ive been catching so many of the buggers that I was getting sick of eating them to the point where I didnt target them at all last year, I even made gummy lasagne once :lol:


Yep...i'll pay freight...!!

Hell ill come & pick em up...probably closer than the very odd occasion i go to get them from. :thumbsup:

A good filler for a nice green curry too if you have too many of them...!!...but you'll have to leave that reisling alone in place of a Sav Blonk for that dish... :lol:

As long as were talking french style blonk and not super fruity kiwi style I can live with that, but hey you south aussies have some pretty good dry rieslings (and some pretty overated shiraz :o )

Never made a green gummy curry but that sounds like a real good idea, i usually stick with wild duck in red curries if im in a curry mood

I had a hot as green curry once with salmon-as in fresh caught Australian salmon.
It would have been good except it was too hot & the cook couldn't be bothered whippin off the fillets, so it was a quick scale, cutlets, wash off the guts & drop in the curry.

Spent half the time pickin bones outa me mouth, & the rest of the time with head in a bucket of ice water...it was really hot...!! :oops: so hot, the next morning butt hole went down for a dunk...!

But a lighter & slightly sweeter green curry is good for a dense fish like that i rekon...well id give it a crack if i had too much of it..

Ive had fresh snapper fillets in a mussaman curry--dam nice...!!!...but that was in a restaurant & i cant replicate their mussaman which is a shame...!!!

And i agree Bigpete...as a general rule i think white wine is disgusting-im a plain beer n Scotch guy-but i will have a glass of a good dry sav blanc with a nice spread of Thai dishes...it seems to go nice. :)

Sav blanc...

Sorry. Can't help it.

Massaman is a good option for fish curry. A laksa or tom yum would be good too.
Need to find me a good spot for gummies...

I tried the famous Taswegian scallop pie a few weeks ago... waste of good scallops, i reckon. Fish has no business with pastry but that's just me.

About to start prepping up a sambar leg roast from a hind I shot two weekends ago. Garlic, tarragon and white wine will be the base flavours with a lotta butter, will follow up in about 4.5hours!

Roasted the 4kg leg at 45min/per kg, with lots of butter basting to keep it moist, super lean animal.
Served it with a side of boiled greens, duck fat potatoes and a young cold climate shiraz. We have leftovers for a few days. :D

Absolutely love a venison schnitz, looks like a winner. Bonus points for roadkill.

Nah someone already grilled it, I just had to cook it :lol: It must of only been hit fairly recently before I came upon it laying in the middle of the road, so I stopped to move it before someone got killed and felt it was still warm and no rigga so figured I might as well take it home and see if anything was salvageable on it (waste not want not) - it was lovely too eat :D

Meat is meat, good job on recovering a feed.
A roadkilled deer is still better than a commercial pig or chook any day of the week.

That looks amazing BJss...!!
Flathead has got to be one of the best fish, if not the best eaten fresh out the water.

I went to a collegues place for dinner cupla years back.
They went to the fishmongers & got atlantic salmon & a little bit of flattie to try that was apparently fresh in thst day....
They gave me a choice of fish & i said id have the flattie--
Pompus gits--they actually felt bad because according to them you cant get better than genetic engineered hormone & colour died pink fed bland as cardboard atlantic sh1t fish...
I insisted on prepping & cooking my own flattie on their barbie as they were unsure how to cook it.
Lightly crumbed with barly a few minutes flash over the hotplate & i drooled & groaned my way to desert...!! :clap:
Farmed Atlantic salmon over fresh flattie...bludy fools...!!!

Relaxing weekend of cooking at home for me, I don't like going away long weekends.

Like you I would take a fresh flattie over farmed salmon, or any salmon, any day of the week.
Flip a coin between KG whiting and a flattie for my Victorian tastebuds, although nannygai are pretty awesome on the rare occasion I have had a chance to go after them

Ill take fresh flattie out of the water anytime, only because whiting are easier come by for me...
Mind you, if frozen whiting is the go-i rekon flathead looses flavour once frozen...whiting freezes really well & keeps for a long time frozen.
I envy you neing able to just go catch a feed...!!
Good luck to ya mate..!! :thumbsup:

Reminds me of the good ol' days pre calici virus headin up the river in the EH...

Just like you can tell the difference in noise from a gut shot to a headshot on a bunny with a 22lr, i used to listen for the bunnies that ran under the car...
If it was a pop, i kept driving knowing it went under the tyres...
If i heard a sharp crack, i knew id nutted it with either the crossmember, front end or diff...so id pull up, give it the "hunting surgeon squeeze test" drop the guts n be on my merry way... :thumbsup:

Doesn't happen now with the 4bee being too high...they either live to dodge another bullet or end up pressed out as a crows protein platter.

Ahh,,, gotta love the old crossmember donk, It took a while after our first date to condition the missus that it was a good sound that meant food (and that I was not a complete psycho) :lol: .. :D But I got there, now she points them out and or swerves to get them (even after twenty odd years away from them in the NT....) :thumbsup:

Btw.. Fark I miss my EH... :(
