West Aussie Adventures 6: Mulloway

[Shufoy]

Thanks Guys.

The golden colour is typical of river caught Mulloway, when they come out of the ocean they are very silver in colour.

Scientific name is "Argyrosomus Hololepidotus". We also have Northern Mulloway, which are very similar except for a narrower back. Both have a large "paddle" shaped tail, and grow up to 30+kg. Western Australian record for a Mulloway is over 40kg.

cool...live in both waters...like our Striped Bass. Does it taste better coming from salt or fresh? Another fish up in norhern cal called a Sturgeon is my all time favorite sashimi....2-3 days out of salt into the fresh and that meat was like candy.

Yeah definatley, the ocean fish have a much sweeter taste, are less "stringy".

Once they get over a certain size , they become a little tougher too, with less flavour.

killer fish! In the dark is how our Sepo WSB play too.
