After A Redfin Recipe!

[Carp carnage]

works better for trout/salmon but i smoked some my quick way: first scale clean your fish then score it lightly (three slices each side), then rub with salt and heaps of tumeric then heat a metal steamer-pan red-hot and throw in some DRY tea leaves/woodchips(hickory,banksia) mushrooms anything that will get a nice but of smoke happening. Immediately put the fish in and a lid on and take off the heat and leave until room-temp works better with smaller fish but if it is a bit raw repeat process and you should be good to go! i also tried this with duck...bloody tasty

Hi Lachlan, here's one for you, first fillet your fish,1cup of plain flour,half a cup of self raising flour, a pinch of black pepper,and fair sprinkle of Chicken salt,finally a can or 2 of your preferred beer. Method,wisk or stir in beer till you get all the lumps out & have a good virscosity, finally let you batter stand for atleast20-40 min's. After this just heat up a pan with oil,dip your fillets in and Bingo was his name it,s that easy,Bon-appertite...Cheer's Greg............

Nice recipe. It really tastes nice.

B.Frost,

Redfin are one of the easiest fish to fillet, when you've done a few they become pretty easy and don't take long.
Once filleted and cooked in beer batter they are very very hard to beat!
Still in my top 3 fish to eat.

I agree to the top 3 eating freshwater fish, yummo

[pressy boy]

well i only eat 3 fresh water fish and they would be just about tops. i find just get a bowl chuck in some flour, salt, pepper, what ever seasoning and put the fillets in and have it on both sides only needs to be lightly done. warm up some butter in a frying pan at a medium or just below temperature cook through and it is beautiful

[Goodoo haven]

Yeah, I think they are bloody beautiful eating fish too pressy

[pressy boy]

yer not wrong i love them also fight good for their size. closest spot to catch them around inverell would have to be copeton wouldnt it??

[Goodoo haven]

yeah, in copeton or the odd one is still been caught in the river about here, but i havent heard of any for awhile. mind you, i am just starting to get back into fishing as i havent been for years

[pressy boy]

in the macintyre?? i know i get the odd one in the creek out here. if your ever keen for a feed of reddie it may be worth coming out here i will try and get you on to a couple. i remember the last time i fished copeton (18 months ago) they were firing! only little fellas however.

[Goodoo haven]

yes, in the macintyre. i havent fished copeton for a long time either, but the last time i was there we was catching really small ones about 6" 15cms long. yeah i'd love to go out there and try to catch a few good sized reddies, but i have just got a bit on at the moment. i reckon redfin have a lovely delicate flavoured flesh.

[pressy boy]

never heard of reds in the mac.. and the ones i was getting from copeton were that same size.. good sized reds are about the only sized reds biting lately, hope you can clear up some time around a full moon as i find the full moon is by far the best time to be out after them here. and your not wrong about delicate (and delicious) flesh, i love them!
