Ok, you got my curiosity up! What is that on the top rack of the bottom photo? Scallops with roe? Man that looks good - sorta gourmet-like!

Good sized scallops there Blue Legend, they look similar in size to our King Scallops. Are they normally eaten roe on? People round here tend to be 50:50 split as to whether they like roe on or roe off although the processors always do roe on for a better yield.

Good sized mussels too .... ?green lipped. I have never smoked them, only the small mussels we get around here. Are the scallops and mussels cold smoked?

Looks like you have access to some great seafood. :)

It is normal to eat scallops with the roe on but they are very rich. I don't eat the roe when we eat them raw tho, too milky for me. Mussells are green lipped and i cover them in Thai sweet chilli sauce. I cold smoke shellfish first for 2 hours then cook for about half an hour ;D

Now I do like that idea. We get frozen NZ green lipped mussels here so it is definately one to try. Thanks. :)

Blue Legend,

Thanks for the pictures. They are great. I am not a fisherman but I do appreciate an excellent travelogue from across the globe.

Man that is one large lobster...

(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v130/Kerren/DSCF0942.jpg)

What type of fish is this?

Title: Re: Photos
Post by: Blue Legend on July 10, 2009, 01:16:16 PM

Oldman - Yes that lobster is huge, it weighed 4kg and is sitting with the taxidermist getting mounted.

The shiny fish is called a frostfish, they are as shiny as the chrome bumper on a car, very spectacular looking when they first come out.

Yeah they are one of myfavourites in the smoker. We call them Kingfish butI think yellowtail is the correct term used. They grow up to about 45kg and are one of the most powerfish fish to find in relation to their size. I think we take our fabulous fishing grounds too much for granted here.

Thanks
Richard
